Nanocrystalline intermetallic compound NiAl was synthesized by evapora
ting NiAl master alloy in inert-gas followed by in situ compaction, an
d its structure was studied by means of X-ray diffractometry and trans
mission electron microscope. Experimental results reveal that the as-s
ynthesized nanocrystalline sample has a mean grain size of less than 1
0 nm and it is dominantly composed of the cubic structure phase NiAl.
However, nanocrystalline Ni3Al as a trace phase mixed in NiAl phase, w
as also detected by transmission electron microscope observation.
