Mechanical alloying followed by hot extrusion has been used to produce very fine-grained NiAl-based alloys containing oxide dispersoids. The dispersoids affect the progress of recrystallization during hot extrusion and contribute to the preservation of the (110) deformation fiber texture, The <110> texture enables the activation of (110) < 100 > and (110) < 110 > slip systems. The occurrence of < 100 > and < 110 > slip dislocations satisfies the von Mises criterion for general plasticity and is postulated to contribute to notable room-temperature compressive ductility of the mechanically alloyed (MA) materials. Another factor likely affecting the compressive ductility is the predominant occurrence of low-angle grain boundaries. The attractive dislocation dispersoid interactions lead to a ductility trough observed at 800 K in the MA materials. The MA NiAl materials are strong at both ambient and elevated temperatures due to fine grain and the presence of dispersoids and interstitial atoms.
