Abstract

Compositional effects on hot and cold workability of ductile-ordered nickel aluminides are described. Compositional effects studied include variations of chromium, aluminum, iron, and zirconium. The hot and cold workability of various nickel-aluminide alloys was ranked with respect to workability of stainless steel. The nickel-aluminide alloy containing chromium and low zirconium (IC-218LZr) had the best combination of hot and cold workability. This alloy also offered a good combination of strength and ductility values over a range of test temperatures.
