Reaction Synthesis, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties of In Situ Composite NiAl-Al2O3-TiC D.T. JIANG, J.T. GUO, D.L. LIN, and C.X. SHI The NiAl intermetallic alloys have been recognized as promising candidates for high-temperature structural applications.[1,2] These alloys possess several attractive properties, including low density, high thermal conductivity, high melting point, high modulus, and excellent oxidation resistance. However, the use of single-phase NiAl as a structural material is limited because of its lack of ductility at room temperature and low creep resistance at high temperatures. Significant efforts have been made to enhance the mechanical properties of NiAl through grain refinement, micro- and D.T. JIANG, Postdoctoral Fellow, and D.L.

macroalloying, as well as incorporating second-phase reinforcement.[3–6] The compound has also been made as a composite material containing a second phase such as boride, carbide, or oxide in the form of particulates, whiskers, or fibers. For instance, NiAl-TiB2,[7,8,9] NiAl-Al2O3,[10,11] and NiAl-AlN composites[12,13] have been extensively investigated to incorporate the high strength and stiffness of these ceramics into the matrix NiAl.
