A systematic investigation is made on the solid solution hardening of binary nickel alloys with additions of B-subgroup and transition metal elements. The 0.2% flow stress at 77 K and the Young's modulus are measured for a variety of binary alloys to evaluate the rate of solution hardening per one available data on the rate of change in lattice constant (da/dc), interpretation of the solution hardening that the hardening is more intense by the additions of transition metal elements than by the additions of B-subgroup elements where the hardening is linearly related with a combined parameter for the interaction between solute atoms and edge dislocations. Then the necessity is raised to carry out the similar type of investigation on the solution hardening of nickel in order to clarify whether the anomalous hardening effect is inherent in the Ll2 crystal structure of Ni3Al or in the majority component of nickel.Technological interest in nickel alloys has often centered on improving the heat resistant properties such as high temperature strength and creep strength by making alloys multicomponent. For this purpose, the additions of transition metals are generally accepted. Prominent examples are the modifications of commercial superalloys, in which the additions of those elements have been properly chosen utilizing regression analyses. As a more fundamental approach, the solid solution hardening has been studied in nickel binary alloys by a number of workers (2)- (9), however, the alloy
