Abstract
Al2O3 reinforced NiAl composites can show better mechanical properties than monolithic NiAl. For enhancing the properties of NiAl/Al2O3 composites NiAl powders were oxidized and/or ball milled to form Al2O3 into NiAl matrix. The as-received and oxidized/ball milled NiAl powders were studied to determine the effects of oxidation and ball milling. Al2O3 particles are dispersed in the grain boundaries and within the NiAl grains of hot-pressed NiAl/A2O3 composites. As the milling time and the oxidation temperature of NiAl powder increased, α- Al2O 3 contents increase, and fracture mode of the composite transforms from intergranular to transgranular cleavage which accounts for the enhancement of mechanical properties of NiAl/Al2O3 composites.
