Little is known about recrystallization in binary stoichiometric Ni3Al because of the difficulty in deformation due to grain boundary brittleness. So far, recrystallization has been studied only in ductile alloys such as binary Ni-rich [1–6] and boron-doped Ni-rich Ni3Al [6–10]. Recently, we have reported an extensive ductility improvement of binary stoichiometric Ni3Al by a special floating zone method [11–13]. The directionally solidified (DS) alloys have a columnar-grained structure and exhibit more than 60% tensile elongation at room temperature. In these ductile alloys it is possible to study the recrystallization behavior without the influence of ternary elements and deviation from stoichiometry. This is part of a larger study aimed measuring the grain boundary strengths in Ni3Al for which we needed large bicrystals, with specific misorientations. However, it is hard to grow them by solidification from the melt, for example by Bridgman or conventional floating zone methods, because binary stoichiometric Ni3Al solidifies incongruently [16]. Diffusion bonding of two single crystals to form bicrystals is another technique but it often results in poor-quality bonded interfaces [18]. Thus, we tried to fabricate large-grained sheet by recrystallization from which bicrystal tensile specimens would be cut. For this to work the grain size should be larger than 5 mm. In this paper, we present the details of a procedure to grow large-grained Ni3Al by deforming and recrystallizing our ductile DS alloys and some findings about the recrystallization in binary stoichiometric Ni3Al.
