Influence of smelting on the structure and properties of an Ni 3 Al intermetallic alloy

Ni 3 Al intermetallic alloys are produced by open inductive smelting with two different fluxes and subsequent centrifugal casting. The structure and phase composition of the alloys are investigated. Alloy samples undergo tensile tests at room temperature and elevated temperatures. The dependence of the structure and mechanical properties of the alloys on the smelting conditions is established.
