Abstract

Creep experiments have been made on a Ni-Ti-Al alloy, which has a microstructure consisting of a distribution of semi-coherent NiAl(β) precipitates with a Ni2AlTi(β′) Heusler phase matrix. The creep strength of this bcc type structure alloy is at least comparable with that of the nickel-base superailoy MARM-200 for values ofT/T m in the range 0.68 to 0.82. Quantitative electron microscope experiments show that both undissociated α0〈110〉 dislocations, and paired α0〈100〉 dislocations coupled by a sublattice A.P.B. exist within the β′ phase;α 0 is the lattice parameter of a bcc cell of which the large Ni2AlTi unit-cell is composed. The sublattice A.P.B. is a crystallographic fault created by wrong bonds between atoms on the Al-Ti sublattice. Theoretically the energy γ of a sublattice A.P.B. is shown to be minimum on {100}, and the experimental value for γ on {100} is ~40 mJ/m2.
