Abstract

The room-temperature mechanical behavior of a directionally solidified columnar-grained, single-phase β (B2)-(Ni-20 at. pct Fe-30 at. pct A1) intermetallic alloy deformed along the “hard” 〈001〉 direction has been characterized. The 0.2 pct offset compressive yield stress was found to be comparable to that of 〈001〉 single crystals of stoichiometric NiAl. The dislocation substructure consisted of a preponderance of long, straight a〈111〉 screw dislocations on {112} planes, with cross-slip on {123} and {110} planes. The superpartials were not resolved by weak-beam imaging conditions, indicating that the antiphase boundary (APB) energy of NiAl is not reduced significantly by the Fe addition. The dislocation substructure was analyzed as a function of strain and compared to the dislocation substructure in 〈001〉 NiAl and body-centered cubic (bcc) metals deformed at low homologous temperatures. The debris left behind by a〈111〉 screw dislocations consisted of prismatic edge dipole loops 5 to 25 nm in diameter.
