“…And moreover, recent studies [19,20] have shown that the rapid solidification and subsequent hot isostatic pressing (HIP) treatment can well improve the mechanical properties of the NiAl based alloy. In addition, the previous researches have revealed that appropriate addition of rare earth elements is beneficial to improving the properties of NiAlbased alloys [12,18,21]. So in the present study, a trace Dy doped Laves phase strengthening NiAl alloy with the composition of Ni45Al-7.5Cr-2.5Nb-0.1Dy (at.%) was chosen and prepared by rapid solidification and treated by HIP, and its microstructure evolution and mechanical properties were investigated.…”
