Directionally solidified (DS) alloys with the nominal composition Ni-30 at. pct Fe-20 at. pct Al having eutectic microstructures were used to study slip transfer across interphase boundaries and dislocation nucleation at the interfacial steps. The slip transfer from the ductile second phase, {gamma}(fcc) containing ordered {gamma}{prime}(L1{sub 2}) precipitates, to the ordered {beta}(B2) phase and the generation of dislocations at the interface steps were interpreted using the mechanisms proposed for similar processes involving grain boundaries in polycrystalline single-phase materials. The criteria for predicting the slip systems activated as a result of slip transfer across grain boundaries were found to be applicable for interphase boundaries in the multiphase ordered Ni-Fe-Al alloys. The potential of tailoring the microstructures and interfaces to promote slip transfer and thereby enhance the intrinsic ductility of dislocation-density-limited intermetallic alloys is discussed.
