There are several attributes that make NiAl intermetallics attractive for high temperature structural applications. First, NiAl combines higher temperature capabilities than superalloys, at a density 33% lower than superalloys. Second, among high temperature, high strength intermetallic compounds, NiAl has the special advantage of inherent oxidation resistance. For consolidation purposes, there are different avenues to decrease the high temperature exposure: to trade off high temperatures or long heating times by high applied pressure or to accelerate the densification process by plasma generation. The former approach is applied in some non-conventional consolidation techniques such as Ceracon process in which short-time high pressure application may compensate for high temperatures or long times. Additionally, the quasi-isostatic pressure application in the Ceracon process imparts shearing components of the applied stress that break down the surface oxides, thus permitting efficient particle bonding during subsequent consolidation. Another avenue that is being explored as a short time densification technique -- Plasma Activated Sintering (PAS) -- comprises an initial plasma generation step to prepare particle surfaces for further densification. PAS has been recently explored as a consolidation method for low diffusivity materials.
