Abstract

Coble creep, which is controlled by mass transport along grain boundaries, has been identified in a powder-metallurgically prepared nickel aluminide with the nominal composition Ni–22.8Al–0.6Hf–0.1B (at. %). Diffusional creep rates as a function of temperature T, stress σ, and grain size L are well described by ∊ = 33δb Db Ωσ (kTL3), where δb Db = 3 × 10−6 m3 s−1 × exp [– (313 kJ/mol)/(RT) (δb is the diffusional grain boundary width, Db is the grain boundary diffusivity, R is the gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature). The activation energy of 313 kJ/mol is unusually high as compared to that for volume diffusion.
