摘要
Nanocrystalline NiAl powder with grain sizes in the range 7 to 80 nm was produced by mechanical alloying, followed in some cases by heat treatment. Microhardness and nanoindenter measurements as well as characterization by X-ray and TEM methods were carried out. It is found that, depending on the thermal history, the material exhibits "inverse Hall-Fetch behavior" for grain sizes below 20 nm or a hardness increase until saturation at 7 nm. The grain sizes determined by TEM correspond closely to the coherence length measured by X-ray peak broadening. The results, including rms strains, are discussed in the light of existing theories.
