NiAl with a laminated microstructure has been fabricated by reaction annealing of Ni-Al system at 1473 K (1200 °C). The laminated NiAl shows heterogeneity of chemical gradient and bimodal grain size distribution. The objective of this study is to investigate the synthesis mechanism and the strengthening effect of this laminated NiAl, therefore to promote further application of NiAl as a high-temperature structural material. Heat treatments at 1473 K (1200 °C) and subsequent characterization were utilized to study the synthesis mechanism. It shows that in original Al regions NiAl nuclei precipitate from Al(Ni) liquid phase and form fine-grained NiAl layers, whereas in original Ni regions NiAl nuclei precipitate from Ni(Al) saturated solution through diffusion and form coarse-grained NiAl layers. Moreover, heterogeneity of chemical gradient is generated through diffusion during annealing. The mechanical properties of laminated NiAl have also been studied via nanoindentation method. It shows that both chemical gradient and bimodal grain size distribution could strengthen the laminated NiAl.
