Abstract

The results of preliminary investigations of the room-temperature fatigue and fracture mechanisms in model NiAl composites are presented. The composite systems studied include: NiAl reinforced with ductile second phase particles (Mo); ductile fibers (Mo); brittle second phase particles (zirconia partially stabilized with yttria) and brittle fibers+particles (Al2O3 + zirconia). Mechanisms of fatigue crack growth in heat treated specimens of the fiber-reinforced composites are also elucidated. The investigations indicate that both ductile and brittle reinforcements can enhance the toughness of NiAl significantly, and the ductile phase particulate reinforcement may even contribute to room-temperature ductility in the composite.
