Three directionally solidified NiAl single-crystal alloys, NiAl-3Ti, NiAl-0.5Hf and NiAl-3Ti-0.5Hf (at.%), were grown by a Bridgeman technique using high purity alumina crucibles. The ingots were homogenized for 32h at 1644 K followed by aging for 6h at 1255 K and finally furnace cooled under an argon atmosphere. This heat treatment was found to be very effective in dissolving Hf-rich interdendritic particles that were present in the as-cast structure, and at the same time it produced fine second-phase precipitates in the alloy.
