ABSTRACTAn alternative high temperature structural alloy system based on the X-X3Si eutectic compositions of chromium and vanadium is put forward. These low-density (~6g/cm3) eutectics have a bcc solid-solution to increase alloy fracture toughness, and a A15 X3Si as the high temperature load-bearing phase. (½Cr,½V)-(½Cr,½V)3Si was used as the base alloy for further element additions, and is represented by the symbol 山 10at.% tantalum and aluminium were substituted for vanadium as quaternary and quinary alloy additions.Microstructure, elemental phase partitioning, compression creep and oxidation results will be discussed. Cr-Cr3Si has a tidy, fine lamellar microstructure. Vanadium coarsens and destabilises the lamellae to a limited extent. Tantalum addition causes two distinct populations of eutectic to form; one population having finer lamellae than the other. Aluminium does not coarsen or destabilise the lamellar microstructure. High temperature compression tests at 1200°C and 1300°C show that 山 is stronger than the binary alloys, and of similar strength to the quaternary and quinary alloys.

AbstractDual multi-phase intermetallic alloys composed of Ni3X (X: Al and V) containing Nb were developed, on the basis of the Ni3Al-Ni3Nb-Ni3V pseudo-ternary alloy system. The dual multi-phase intermetallic alloys were characterized by scanning electron and transmission electron microscopies. High-temperature compression and tension tests, and compression creep test were conducted. It was found that the dual multi-phase intermetallic alloys show high yield and tensile strength with good temperature retention, accompanied with reasonable tensile ductility. The compression creep test conducted at high temperature showed lower creep rate in the dual multi-phase intermetallic alloys than in conventional Ni-base superalloys. The obtained results are superior to the dual multi-phase intermetallic alloys containing Ti.

A β-solidifying Ti–43Al–2Cr–2Mn–0.2Y alloy was directionally solidified by the optical floating zone melting method. The microstructure is mainly characterized by γ/α2 lamellae with specific orientations, which exhibits straight boundaries. The β phase is randomly distributed in the lamellar microstructure, indicating that the β phase cannot be directionally solidified. The directional solidification of γ/α2 lamellae was not affected by the precipitation of the β phase. Hot compression tests show that the deformation behavior of the β-containing lamellar microstructure also exhibits the anisotropic characteristic. The deformation resistance of the lamellae is lowest when the loading axis is aligned 45° to the lamellar interface. Microstructural observation shows that the decomposition of the lamellar microstructure tends to begin around the β phase, which benefits from the promotion of a soft β phase in the deformation. Moreover, the deformation mechanism of the lamellar microstructure was also studied. The bulging of the γ phase boundaries, the decomposition of α2 lamellae and the disappearance of γ/γ interfaces were considered as the main coarsening mechanisms of the lamellar microstructure.

The influence of Sc addition on the high temperature compressive strength of a commercial alloy 7010 (hereafter termed base alloy) has been examined. The base alloy, and the base alloy with 0.23 wt% Sc were cast, homogenized and subjected to compression tests at temperatures ranging from 300 to 450oC and strain rates of 10-3, 10-2, 10-1 and 1 sec-1. It is shown that Sc addition to the base alloy increases the compressive flow stress under these deformation conditions. The increase in peak flow stress is nearly 3-6 times the peak flow stress of the base alloy at temperatures 300-350oC over the strain rate range investigated. Whilst, at temperatures ³ 400oC, the flow stresses decrease significantly irrespective of the strain rate used. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that a combination of (1) increased nucleation frequency of dispersoids, (2) evolution of smaller subgrain size, and (3) refinement of alloy phases in the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu system contribute to superior strengthening in the alloy containing Sc. Whilst, it is primarily a combination of coarsening and instability of the alloy phases in the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu system that dramatically reduces the flow stresses in both the alloys at temperatures ³ 400oC.

The microstructure and the high-temperature deformation behavior of the C15 NbCr2 intermetallics alloyed with V, which consist of both the C15 monophase and the duplex structure with the bcc solid solution, are observed by some microscopic techniques and compression tests. The alloys consisting of the C15 monophase microstructure show moderately higher 0.2% yield stress than the unalloyed NbCr2, and the same BDTT as that in the unalloyed NbCr2, indicating a moderate improvement of the high temperature deformability. This result is attributed to the larger atomic free volumes between the atomic stacking layers along the {111} planes than those of the unalloyed NbCr2. The alloys consisting of the duplex microstructure show lower 0.2% yield stress and considerably decreased BDTT than the unalloyed NbCr2. The considerable deformation improvement in this group of alloys is attributed to the existence of the ductile bcc solid solution.

A2O3/YAG/ZrO2 eutectic Melt-Growth-Composites (MGCs) were unidirectionally solidified by the modified-pulling-down method (MPD) and the Bridgman type method, in which a crucible was brought down at different speeds. The microstructures and crystallographic textures were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and electron backscattered pattern (EBSP) method. The high-temperature strength was investigated by compression tests. All MGC rods show strong preferred growing orientation, although the structural size of eutectic microstructure among MGC rods was different. The high-temperature strength of MGC rods is dependent on orientation, compression temperature and strain rate. The high-temperature strength of MGC rods is controlled by the anisotropic strength of constituent Al2O3, as well as the structural size of eutectic microstructure.

AbstractThe need for development of high temperature wear resistant composite materials with superior mechanical properties and tribological properties is increasing significantly. The high temperature wear properties of aluminium boron carbide composites was evaluated in this investigation. The effect of load, sliding velocity, temperature and reinforcement percentage on wear rate was determined by the pin heating method using pin heating arrangement. The size and structure of base alloy particles change considerably with an increase of boron carbide particles. The wettability and interface bonding between the matrix and reinforcement enhanced by the addition of potassium flurotitanate. ANOVA technique was used to study the effect of input parameters on wear rate. The investigation reveals that the load had higher significance than sliding velocity, temperature and weight fraction. The pin surface was studied with a high-resolution scanning electron microscope. Regression analysis revealed an extensive association between control parameters and response. The developed composites can be used in the production of automobile parts requiring high wear, frictional and thermal resistance.
