Abstract

The Knoop microhardness anisotropy of single crystal NiAl, a B2 intermetallic compound, was investigated on the (001) plane at indentation test loads from 25 to 500 g. An energy balance analysis was applied to analyze the indentation size effect (ISE). The load independent, orientation independent Knoop microhardness was determined to be 220 kg/mm2 for the (100) plane of NiAl.
