Effects of Multiple Pre-Sintering Heat Treatments and Consolidations Applied to Nicralc Alloys Processed by Mechanical Alloying

Abstract:

NiCrAlC alloys are economical alternatives nickel superalloys to Co family StellitesTM alloys, they are constituted by a dispersion of chromium carbides in a Ni3Al (γ’) intermetallic matrix. Mechanical Alloying (MA) allows better control of the carbides size and distribution in NiCrAlC matrix after sintering, although high porosity has been observed after uniaxial compaction and sintering of NiCrAlC alloys processed by MA. This research investigated the employment viability of pre-sintering heat-treatments followed by a new uniaxial compression in order to reduce porosity after final sintering. The characterization of the processed material by optical metallography and quantitative stereography appoints to the viability of this conception to reduce the porosity of NiCrAlC alloys processed by Mechanical Alloying.
