Abstract

Microcracking in polycrystalline near-stoichiometric NiAl produced by room temperature plastic deformation under uniaxial compression was investigated by means of optical microscopy, velocity of sound measurements, and acoustic emission monitoring. Results show that strains greater than 2 % are required to produce microcrack populations which can be evaluated by microscopical investigation or velocity of sound measurements. However, acoustic emission monitoring during compression testing indicates that microcracking starts at about 0.7 % compressive plastic strain which is identical with the typical tensile fracture strain for NiAl. Thus it is concluded that there is little or no stable microcracking prior to failure in tension. Acoustic emission results show also that the process of microcracking does not primarily occur during the applied compressive deformation. A considerable fraction of the microcracking takes place during the quasi-elastic unloading following deformation.
