Abstract
The improved intermetallic compounds represented by xNiAl+X (x=50.5-63.5), with dopant element X being selected from among Ti, Fe, V, W, Cr, Cu, Mo, Nb, Ta, Hf, Zr and B, are lightweight and have satisfactory oxidation resistance and high-temperature strength and, hence, are useful as structural materials in aerospace (as in space shuttles) and nuclear fields (for use in reprocessing facilities). A representative intermetallic compound having the formula NiAl+x(Mo/Re)+cB, wherein the ratio of Ni:Al is 56.5:43.5, the ratio of Mo:Re is either 1:1 or 1:0.5, x is between 0.1 and 1 at. %, and c is from 0 to 0.2 at. %, is disclosed.
