Abstract

The room-temperature ductility of 95% cold-rolled and recrystallized Ni3Al(Ni–24.0 at.% Al) foils was examined as a function of heat-treatment conditions. The cold-rolled, diffused Goss texture changed to a complicated, transitional texture in the early stage of grain growth and then returned to a similar diffused Goss texture in the late stage. With the texture evolution, the total area fraction of the tough grain boundaries (GBs) such as Σ1, Σ3, and Σ9 increased from 0.23–0.38 in the early stage to 0.56–0.73 in the late stage. Tensile and bending tests revealed that the ductility was drastically improved with the grain growth. The foils in the early stage fractured without showing yielding. In contrast, the foils in the late stage were very ductile, and the tensile elongation increased to 10% with the grain growth. It was confirmed that there was no in-plane anisotropy in ductility. The ductility improvement with the grain growth was ascribed to the increase in the area fraction of the tough GBs.
