Abstract

Mechanical alloying (MA) has been used to process the NiAl-based alloy Ni-35Al-2OFe such that a fine-grain (∼2 μm) microstructure is obtained through the addition of 2 v/o Y2O3 particles. When compared to a conventionally processed, coarse-grained (∼;28 μm) Ni-35–20 alloy without the Y2O3 particles, the MA alloy exhibits two to three times higher fracture toughness values, despite a 50% increase in yield strength. Room temperature KQ values as high as 34 √Pa m are observed accompanied by a yield strength in excess of 1100 MPa. Fractography confirms a change in fracture characteristics of the fine-grained MA alloy.
