The aim of the present work is to study physical and mechanical properties of nickel monoaluminide, its behaviour during plastic deformation, solid solutions based on NiAl ($\beta$-phase), solubility of alloying elements in nickel monoaluminide, and the effect of alloying elements on the structure and properties of the $\beta$-phase. Results reported by V.S. Litvinov and K. Enami as well as our data underlie the consideration of the temperature-and-concentration range of the martensitic transformation in Ni–Al system, its reversibility, transformation crystallography, the effect of alloying elements on martensitic points, and structural features of the martensitic transformation in the $\beta$-phase at different degrees of supersaturation with nickel, chromium, and cobalt. The $\beta$-phase instability, which is concerned with the formation of low-symmetry superstructures, and conditions, which are necessary for the formation and growth of these Ni$_{5}$Al$_{3}$ and Ni$_{2}$Al superstructures in Ni–Al–Me(Co,Cr) $\beta$-alloys, are discussed. The crystallographic structural analysis of the L1$_{0}$ → Ni$_{5}$Al$_{3}$ transformation and Ni$_{2}$Al structure is performed.
Keywords: monoaluminide of nickel, Ni–Al–Ме(Co,Cr) alloys, phase transformations, structure, properties, martensite, atomic ordering.
