Abstract
Mechanical alloying followed by hot extrusion has been used to produce fully dense, crack free, very fine grained NiAl-based alloys containing a bimodal distribution of aluminum oxide dispersoids. The unique microstructure provides the materials with high strength and good compressive ductility at ambient and elevated temperatures. The emphasis of the paper is on the importance of the dispersion phase in controlling grain size, texture, deformation mechanisms and ultimately mechanical properties of the mechanically alloyed NiAl-based materials.
