Abstract

To enhance the mechanical properties of NiAl–(Cr,Mo) in situ composites for high-temperature structural use, achieving a regular eutectic microstructure is crucial. A novel alloy with a composition of Ni30.6Al36Cr31.4Mo2 is developed that exhibits a significantly reduced solidification interval compared to well-studied alloys such as Ni33Al33Cr28Mo6. This advancement results from using the in-house developed alloy design tool PyMultOpt and Calculation of Phase Diagrams analysis to minimize the solidification interval. The refined alloy demonstrates a theoretical solidification interval of 0 K. These results are verified with differential scanning calorimetry measurements at different heating rates for the new alloy and compared with the established alloy Ni33Al33Cr28Mo6. The small solidification interval leads to a uniform eutectic microstructure consisting of a (Cr,Mo) phase embedded in the NiAl matrix without primary NiAl dendrites present. This indicates that deviating from the stoichiometric NiAl composition results in a significantly lower solidification interval and thus in an actual eutectic composition of the NiAl–(Cr,Mo) system.
