Mechanical properties of cold-rolled NiAl thin foils
Thin foils of Ni3Al have been successfully fabricated by cold rolling in the authors' group. The room-temperature mechanical properties of the cold-rolled foils, i.e., hardness, tensile and bending properties, are presented. The results are related to the rolling textures and microstructures. The foils have a good bending ductility, showing a high potential in the form of honeycomb structure for high temperature applications.
