Ductilization of a Ni3(Si,Ti) Intermetallic Alloy by Addition of Interstitial Type Elements

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of a concomitant doping of interstitial type elements boron (B) and carbon (C), and boron (B) and nitrogen (N) on tensile properties of a Ni3(Si,Ti) intermetallic alloy was investigated in the temperature range between room temperature and 973 K. It was found that the concomitant doping of (C/B) and (N/B) remarkably improved the intermediate-temperature tensile elongation of the Ni3(Si,Ti) alloy compared with the simple doping of B or C. It was also shown that the fracture surface of the alloy doped with (C/B) and (N/B) exhibited the ductile transgranular fracture mode while that of the alloy doped with only B showed a brittle intergranular fracture mode at 773 K. These results clearly indicate that the concomitant doping of the interstitial type elements are useful for improving the intermediate-temperature tensile ductility of the Ni3(Si,Ti) alloy.
