Materials based on the NiAl-Cr-Mo system with zirconium oxide or aluminum-magnesium spinel nanoparticle small additions were obtained by spark plasma sintering. Thermodynamic modeling was carried out to predict the phase formation in the NiAl-Cr-Mo system and its change depending on temperature, considering the presence of a small amount of carbon in the system. The phase composition and microstructure of materials were studied. NiAl (B2) and CrMo phases were found in the sintered samples. Bending strength measurements at different temperatures shows that nanoparticles of insoluble additives lead to an increase in bending strength, especially at high temperatures. A fractographic analysis of the sample’s fractures shows their hybrid nature and intercrystalline fracture, which is confirmed by the clearly visible matrix grains similar to cleavage. The maximum strength at 700 °C (475 MPa) was found for material with the addition of 0.1 wt.% zirconium oxide nanoparticles. In the study of internal friction, typical peaks of a nickel-aluminum alloy were found in the temperature ranges of 150–200 °C and 350–400 °C.

The article presents the study of alumina nanoparticles’ (nanofibers) concentration effect on the strength properties of pure nickel. The samples were obtained by spark plasma sintering of previously mechanically activated metal powders. The dependence of the grain size and the relative density of compacts on the number of nanofibers was investigated. It was found that with an increase in the concentration of nanofibers, the average size of the matrix particles decreased. The effects of the nanoparticle concentration (0.01–0.1 wt.%) on the elastic modulus and tensile strength were determined for materials at 25 °C, 400 °C, and 750 °C. It was shown that with an increase in the concentration of nanofibers, a 10–40% increase in the elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength occurred. A comparison of the mechanical properties of nickel in a wide range of temperatures, obtained in this work with materials made by various technologies, is carried out. A description of nanofibers’ mechanisms of influence on the structure and mechanical properties of nickel is given. The possible impact of impurity phases on the properties of nickel is estimated. The tendency of changes in the mechanical properties of nickel, depending on the concentration of nanofibers, is shown.
