NiAl is an intermetallic compound with a brittle-to-ductile-transition temperature at about 300°C and ambient pressure. As shown in [1], fracture stress and fracture strain are increased under high pressure. Therefore, deformation at low temperatures is only possible at high pressures, as for instance used in high pressure torsion (HPT). In order to study the influence of pressure on texture evolution and microstructure formation, small discs of polycrystalline NiAl were deformed by HPT at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 500°C and pressures from 2 to 8 GPa. For low temperatures higher pressures lead to less cracking and slipping. Regarding texture, pressure mainly influences the intensities of the texture components. Grain size also changes with pressure. For deformation at 500°C, the grains in the 2 GPa sample are twice as large as in the material deformed at 8 GPa. The results will be discussed with regard to dynamic recrystallization.
