Strength of precipitates in Ni-Al and Ni-Al-Fe alloys
JOURNAL OF ALLOYS AND COMPOUNDS(2024)
Abstract
The present research combines Transmission Electron Microscopy and planar impact testing to investigate the geometry, concentration, and individual strengths of Ni3Al precipitates in Ni-Al and Ni-Al-Fe alloys. The study focuses on homogenized and aged samples of a binary (88.5% Ni, 11.5% Al) and a ternary (79.3% Ni, 10.2% Al, 10.5% Fe) systems. A detailed analysis of experimental results reveals significant difference between structures of the Ni3Al precipitates in these alloys. In the binary Ni-Al alloy, precipitates are predominantly small and dense spheres with an average diameter of 4 nm. Conversely, the ternary Ni-Al-Fe alloy exhibits larger and loose spherical precipitates, averaging 50 nm in diameter. A key finding of this study is the superior strength of smaller precipitates, which are approximately 40% stronger than their larger counterparts. The latter are identified as regions of Ni-based solid solution densely packed with minuscule, 2 nm-diameter, islands of the ordered Ni3Al phase. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of the microstructural factors influencing the mechanical properties of Ni-Al based alloys.
