Abstract

The Ni�Al�Zr system offers a variety of intermetallic eutectic combinations. Here, we demonstrate complex eutectic microstructures consisting of intermetallic i.e. Ni3Al�Ni7Zr2, NiAl�Ni7Zr2, and Ni3Al�NiAl�Ni7Zr2. We also developed alloys with different fractions of two eutectics i.e. Ni3Al�Ni7Zr2, NiAl�Ni7Zr2. These microstructures result in attractive combinations of ultra-high tensile strength of more than 1.5 GPa and are combined with 3�4 ductility and strength retention till 700 °C, which is better than most of the state of art super-alloys. The deformation behaviour along with fracture studies shows the role of individual intermetallic phases in the overall mechanical properties of the alloys. The transmission electron microscopy studies of the deformed samples show unique twinning in Ni7Zr2 intermetallic. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
