The microstructures and shapes vary with the TiB2＋Al2O3 content in the NiAl matrix. TiB2 particles take a great variety of elementary shapes such as white bars, plates, herringbones, regular cubes and cuboids. These results outline a strategy of self-assembly processes in real time to build diversified microstructures. Some TiB2 grains in sizes of 2-5μm are embeded in Al2O3 clusters, while a small number of TiB2 particles disperse in the NiAl matrix. It is believed that the higher the TiB2＋Al2O3 content is, the more the regular shapes and homogeneous distributions of TiB2 and Al2O3 will be present in the NiAl matrix.展开更多

Results showed that the threshold stress intensity of HIC was KIH=15.7 MPa·m1/2, and (da/dt)II=0.019 mm/h. For the uncharged specimen, microcrack initiated and propagated preferentially within the NiAl phase, resulting in cleavage fracture, but for the precharged specimen with hydrogen concentration of 24.7×10-4%, hydrogen-induced crack initiated and propagated preferentially along the Ni3AI/NiAI interfaces, resulting in interphase fracture.展开更多
