Abstract To study the effect of Al and Zr contents on the microstructural changes and tensile properties of Ni-Al-Bronze alloy, seven specimens were cast with different Al and Zr contents. The microstructure observation revealed that all specimens were composed of β` and κ phases in a α matrix. With increasing Al and Zr contents, the tensile strength of the Ni-Al-Bronze increased, due to an increase in the β` and κ phase fraction and grain refinement, but the elongation behavior of the Ni-Al-Bronze declined. Furthermore, the excessive addition of Zr caused a reduction in tensile strength and ductility. A successful combination of tensile strength and ductility, 688 MPa-23% was achieved by the controlled addition of Zr to Ni-Al-Bronze.(Received November 10, 2016; Accepted March 13, 2017)
