EVOLUTION OF MICROSTRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF THE Ni-25Al-27.5Fe-1.0Nb INTERMETALLIC ALLOY AFTER THERMAL MECHANICAL TREATMENT
The evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of the Ni-25Al-27.5Fe-1.0Nb intermetallic alloy after thermal mechanical treatment (TMT) was systematically investigated by means of X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with electron dispersive spectrum (EDS) capability, and atmosphere-controlled tensile test at room temperature with different strain rate. The results of XRD reveals that a matrix of β phase (Ni, Fe) Al type ordered bcc structure and a precipitated γ phase (NUFe fcc solid solution) co-exist in this alloy after TMT. The dendritic microstructure of the as-cast alloy was eliminated after TMT process. In parallel, a refined and homogeneous distributed lath precipitates can be obtained after annealing at 820 for 4 hr. Additionally, this alloy presents a relative high strength as well as ductile mechanical behavior (UTS-1320 MPa and ε~8%, respectively) at room temperature in air. A 30% improvement in yield strength is suggested to be contributed by the refined microstructure from the TMT. Moreover, the tensile strength and ductility of this alloy exhibit insensitive response with respect to the loading strain rate at room temperature.
