The authors have investigated the high-temperature deformation behavior of the solid-solution strengthened alloy Ni-47.5Al-2.5Ti. Single crystals were deformed in compression in the hard <001> and soft <111> orientations, at temperatures between 900 C and 1,200 C. The results show that Ti has a very powerful solute strengthening effect in NiAl. The creep rates for the solid-solution alloy were observed to be three to four orders of magnitude lower than for the stoichiometric material. They discuss the efforts to understand this solid-solution strengthening effect. They have studied high-temperature deformation transients in an effort to determine whether solute drag effects contribute to the creep resistance of this solid solution. In addition, they have examined the solute size effect of Ti as it replaces Al on the Al sub-lattice. They discuss the probable mechanism of creep of this alloy in light of TEM observations of the dislocation structures in creep-deformed crystals.
