Abstract: In order to study the subboundaries evolution in superplastically deformed NiAl, the positron lifetime change during superplastic deformation process was measured. It is shown that the superplastic deformation of NiAl has not influence on its τ2, the newly recrystallized grain boundaries formed during entire superplastic deformation process belong to the calegory of subboundaries and have not contribution to the superplastic strain.

Key words: NiAl, Positron lifetime, Superplasticity, Boundaries
