Structure and magnetic properties of a Ni3(Al, Fe, Cr) single crystal subjected to high-temperature deformation

详细

The structure and magnetic properties of the Ni₃(Al, Fe, Cr) single crystal subjected to high-temperature tensile deformation to failure at 850–900°C have been studied. No recrystallized grains and metastable phases were found. The rupture zone of the alloy subjected to deformation (at 900°C) to the highest degree demonstrates the fragmentation accompanied by rotation of atomic layers and changes of the chemical composition in the nickel and aluminum sublattices. Magnetic studies of the alloy have shown the existence of two Curie temperatures for samples cut from the rupture zone. Samples cut away from the rupture zone exhibit no additional magnetic transitions; twines and planar stacking faults in the alloy structure. The alloy deformed to the lower degree of deformation (at 850°C) also demonstrates twins; no ferromagnetic state was found to form.
