Abstract

As a potential high-temperature structural material, the practical application of NiAl intermetallic compound is limited because of its low plasticity and fracture toughness at room temperature and poor strength at high temperature. Adding alloying elements and optimizing the preparation process are effective ways to improve the material's performance. In this study, NiAl-based alloys were prepared through spark plasma sintering using NiAl-28Cr-5.5Mo-0.5Zr (atom fraction, %) prealloyed powders. The influence of sintering temperature and holding time on the density, microstructure, and room-temperature compression properties of the sintered alloys was studied. The microstructures of the sintered alloys were investigated using SEM, and their room-temperature compression properties were tested using an electronic universal testing machine. It is shown that the influence of spark plasma sintering temperature on the density and room-temperature compression properties of sintered alloys is significant while that of the holding time is weaker. Under optimal sintering parameters, i.e., a sintering temperature of 1200^oC, holding time of 3 min, and sintering pressure of 50 MPa, the yield strength, compressive strength, and plasticity strain of the sintered alloy were 1321.4 MPa, 2360 MPa, and 0.313, respectively. Additionally, the densification process of NiAl-28Cr-5.5Mo-0.5Zr alloy prepared by spark plasma sintering was studied.
