Abstract

Miniaturized disk-bend tests were conducted on stoichiometric monocrystalline NiAl alloys of two different nominal purities. Disks 3 mm in diameter and ∼250 mm thick were prepared with faces oriented parallel to either (100) or (110) and tested in biaxial bending. The specimens exhibited some ductility, even in the “hard” (100) orientation, prior to catastrophic failure. The yield strength of the specimens was higher in the (100) orientation than in the (110) orientation, as expected, but the specimens in (110) orientation were considerably more ductile. The higher purity alloy was considerably more ductile in both orientations. The estimated CRSS of the samples (110) in orientation is ∼80 to 85 MPa. which is somewhat lower than reported values for deformation on the ‹001›{010} slip system. For the most part, the fracture surfaces are similar in both alloys, with cleavage being the dominant mode of fracture. There is no visual evidence on the fracture surfaces that can account for the differences in ductility of the two alloys tested.
