- 01 Apr 1983 - 
- Vol. 17, Iss: 4, pp 519-522
TLDR
In this article, the effect of the grain size on the ductility of the material was investigated and it was found that the ductile capacity of NiAl is independent of grain size for aggregates of grains larger than about 20 microns.

NiAl alloys for high-temperature structural applications

R. Darolia
- 01 Mar 1991 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that room-temperature ductility can be improved dramatically by microalloying with iron, gallium or molybdenum, and the next challenge is to develop an alloy which has the required balance of ductility, toughness and strength.

Influence of grain size on the mechanical behaviour of some high strength materials

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of grain size in complex alloys by incorporating the Hall-Petch stress as one component of the internal stress helps in rationalizing the existence of an optimal grain size where creep resistance is maximized.

The ductile-brittle transition in the fracture of α-iron: I

TL;DR: In this article, a criterion for the transition from ductile to cleavage is calculated for fracture at a notch, and it is concluded that the temperature-dependence of this transition probably arises from the ductile-to-cleavage transition.

The operative slip system and general plasticity of NiAl-II

TL;DR: The slip system operating in the β-compound NiAl deformed at temperatures less than 0.45 Tm has been determined by slip trace and contrast analysis using electron microscopy, and the observed slip system compared with general predictions of the slip system in CsCl-type structures from anisotropic elasticity theory as mentioned in this paper.

The deformation properties and electron microscopy studies of the intermetallic compound NiAl

TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of NiAl specimens were investigated as a function of testing temperature and composition, and it was shown that at low temperatures the polycrystalline specimens fail in a brittle manner along grain boundaries after little or no plastic deformation.

The Mechanical Behaviour of the Intermediate Phase NiAl

TL;DR: In this article, the deformation behavior of polycrystalline NiAl of various compositions, and of stoichiometric single crystals with different orientations, has been studied in compression in the temperature range 77-1300° K.

Recrystallization and Grain Growth in NiAl

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that upon annealing, warm-worked NiAl recrystallizes and undergoes subsequent grain growth in a manner typical of metals and alloys.
