Abstract

Fracture behaviors of three directionally solidified (DS) duplex-phase alloys composed of Ni3Nb(D0a)/Ni3Al(L12), Ni6TaAl(D024)/Ni3Al(L12) and Ni3Ti(D024)/Ni3Si(L12) phases, respectively were investigated by three-point bending tests, focusing on temperature and orientation dependence. The temperature-toughness relation showed dissimilar curves depending on alloy. The increasing rate of fracture toughness was the highest in the Ni3Al/Ni3Nb alloy with fine lamellar structure and was the lowest in the Ni3Al/Ni6TaAl alloy with rod-like precipitates. The controlling mechanism for the temperature dependence of fracture behavior of Ni3Al/Ni3Nb alloys was discussed.
