The plane-front solidified eutectic alloys consisting of aligned tantalum monocarbide fibers in a nickel alloy matrix are currently under consideration for future aircraft and gas turbine blades. The MC fibers provide exceptional strength at high temperatures. In these alloys, the Ni matrix is strengthened by the precipitation of the coherent γ' phase (ordered L12 structure, nominally Ni3Al). The mechanical strength of these materials can be sensitively affected by overall alloy composition, and these strength variations can be due to several factors, including changes in solid solution strength of the γ matrix, changes in they γ' size or morphology, changes in the γ-γ' lattice mismatch or interfacial energy, or changes in the MC morphology, volume fraction, thermal stability, and stoichiometry. In order to differentiate between these various mechanisms, it is necessary to determine the partitioning of elemental additions between the γ,γ', and MC phases. This paper describes the results of such a study using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy in the analytical electron microscope.

The microstructural changes in an Fe-Co-V alloy (composition by wt.%: 2.97 V, 48.70 Co, 47.34 Fe and balance impurities, such as C, P and Ni) resulting from different heat treatments have been evaluated by optical metallography and transmission electron microscopy. Results indicate that, on air cooling or quenching into iced-brine from the high temperature single phase ϒ (fcc) field, vanadium can be retained in a supersaturated solid solution (α2) which has bcc structure. For the range of cooling rates employed, a portion of the material appears to undergo the γ-α2 transformation massively and the remainder martensitically. Figure 1 shows dislocation topology in a region that may have transformed martensitically. Dislocations are homogeneously distributed throughout the matrix, and there is no evidence for cell formation. The majority of the dislocations project along the projections of <111> vectors onto the (111) plane, implying that they are predominantly of screw character.

Aluminum additions to conventional 18Cr-8Ni austenitic stainless steel compositions impart excellent resistance to high sulfur environments. However, problems are typically encountered with aluminum additions above about 1% due to embrittlement caused by aluminum in solid solution and the precipitation of NiAl. Consequently, little use has been made of aluminum alloy additions to stainless steels for use in sulfur or H2S environments in the chemical industry, energy conversion or generation, and mineral processing, for example.A research program at the Albany Research Center has concentrated on the development of a wrought alloy composition with as low a chromium content as possible, with the idea of developing a low-chromium substitute for 310 stainless steel (25Cr-20Ni) which is often used in high-sulfur environments. On the basis of workability and microstructural studies involving optical metallography on 100g button ingots soaked at 700°C and air-cooled, a low-alloy composition Fe-12Cr-5Ni-4Al (in wt %) was selected for scale up and property evaluation.
