Abstract

An intermetallic compound of mononickel aluminide (NiAl) is combustion-synthesized from a mixture of nickel and aluminum powders by a pseudo-Hot-Isostatic-Pressing (pseudo-HIPing) method. The effects of the addition of alumina (Al2O3) particles on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the combustion-synthesized NiAl is investigated. The density and hardness of the NiAl significantly increase with increasing pseudo-HIPing pressure applied during the combustion synthesis. The increase in the volume fraction of the added Al2O3 particles leads to a slight decrease in the density of the NiAl, but it does not affect the hardness. The grain size of NiAl decreases, as the volume fraction of the added Al2O3 particles increases and as the size of the Al2O3 particles decreases.
