Abstract

Different techniques to produce single crystals of RuAl were investigated. Processing from the melt is problematic due to the rapid loss of Al. However, very large grained RuAl specimens can be produced from the solid-state by arc-zone melting. Directional solidification of eutectic alloys is less problematic due to the lower melting temperature. Alloys of RuAl-Mo were found to be eutectic, and the eutectic composition was determined to be RuAl-51 wt% Mo.
