Dynamic strain aging has been investigated in polycrystalline NiAl alloys containing combined additions of interstitial and substitutional impurities. The results indicate that strain aging can be enhanced in polycrystalline alloys containing concentrations of silicon or iron in excess of 0.15 at.% in addition to conventional levels of carbon. This co-doping leads to very dramatic strain aging events, comparable to those typically observed in single crystals. This effect will be discussed with respect to conventional theories of strain aging.
