Welded samples of Ni3Al intermetallic – the main strengthening phase of high-temperature nickel alloys were taken as an example
to defi ne the main problems arising in fusion welding of this class of materials. Features of weld formation, structural
and phase changes, and mechanical properties of the welded joints are considered. Conditions of cracks initiation and methods
to prevent them are determined. The infl uence of welding modes and heat treatment on the structure, strength and ductility
characteristics was studied. Mechanical properties of welded joints in the temperature range of 20…1200 °С were assessed.
Schemes and modes of welding and heat treatment are proposed, which allow preventing cracking and ensure equal strength of
welded joints and base metal at improvement of their ductility. 10 Ref., 4 Tabl., 10 Fig.
Keywords: Ni3Al intermetallic, welded joints, structure, mechanical properties, crack resistance, welding and heat treatment modes
