Abstract

Alloys of RuAl-Ru were processed using various solidification methods, and the fracture behavior was examined. The fracture toughness values for RuAl-hcp(Ru, Mo) and RuAl-hcp(Ru, Cr) alloys ranged from 23 to 38 MPa√m, while the volume fraction of RuAl ranged from 22 to 56 percent. Increasing the volume fraction of RuAl resulted in a decrease in fracture toughness. The hcp solid solution was shown to be the more ductile phase with a fracture toughness approaching 68 MPa?m, while the B2 solid solution (RuAl) was found to have a fracture toughness less than 13 MPa√m. An alloy of Ru-7Al-38Cr (at.%) that consisted of a hcp matrix with RuAl precipitates had the highest room temperature toughness and the greatest hardness.
