Study of NiAl-based alloy parts produced by metal injection moulding

Abstract

NiAl-(Cr, Mo, Zr) alloys were successfully prepared by metal injection moulding (MIM) technique as well as avoiding common defects produced by other processing techniques. Debinding and sintering process had an important influence on the quality of samples. The effect of sintering temperature and time on microstructure evolution and room-temperature mechanical performance of NiAl-(Cr, Mo, Zr) alloys were investigated. Due to the existence of high strength Cr(Mo), the yield strength of NiAl was significantly enhanced. With the increasing sintering temperature and time, the Cr(Mo) phase aggregated and grown. The sample sintered at 1390°C for 3 h exhibited optimal mechanical properties. The yield strength (YS), ultimate compressive strength (UCS) and elongation of the sample at room temperature were 1133 MPa, 3223 MPa and 25.5%, respectively. MIM had some advantages in the preparation of difficult-to-deform superalloy due to the near-net forming process.

Preparation and Study of Composite Materials of the NiAl-Cr-Mo-Nanoparticles (ZrO2, MgAl2O4) System

“…In addition, the material has good high-temperature strength, corrosion resistance, and creep resistance [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. However, nickel-aluminum is non-plastic and brittle at room temperature, which reduces the possibility of its application [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. There are several ways to improve the characteristics of this material using additives of transition, rare-earth, and noble metals [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ].…”

“…There are several ways to improve the characteristics of this material using additives of transition, rare-earth, and noble metals [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. The development of so-called eutectic alloys based on NiAl containing Cr, Mo and other elements improves its functional properties [ 12 ]. Eutectic materials in the NiAl-Cr-Mo system have high thermodynamic stability [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 21 ].…”
