Abstract: | Results of microstructure investigation of Ni-Al and Ni-Al-Fe alloys with addition of 0.5at.% Ti2B after hot deformation are presented. Ti partially dissolves in the matrix, promoting formation of a discontinuous phase and precipitates of γ′ phase of Ll2 structure during hot deformation of Ni-Al and Ni-Al-4.3at.%Fe alloys. In all investigated alloys precipitates of different compositions, enriched in Ti, were noticed. A compression test proved that due to the grain boundaries strengthening, the fracture mechanism changes into a transcrystalline one, improving fracture toughness of the hot deformed alloy. Fracture occurs in the deformation induced Ll0 martensite. |
