ABSTRACTMultiphase Mo-Si-B alloys are potential candidates for applications in the aerospace and power generation industry due to their enhanced creep and oxidation resistance at ultra-high temperatures. It is documented that the microstructure and the resulting properties of Mo-based alloys are heavily influenced by their fabrication procedure. In this study we investigate different multiphase Mo-Si-B alloys processed by zone melting (ZM) starting from cold pressed elemental powders. Microstructural characterization of zone melted alloys based on SEM investigations shows elongated arrangements of phases parallel to the growing direction as well as homogeneously distributed phases in the cross-section for some of the alloys investigated. First compression creep tests were performed at about 1100°C. In comparison to the creep resistance of powder metallurgically (PM) processed alloys the behaviour of ZM materials was found to be substantially improved. Hence, targeted application temperatures of around 1200°C to 1300°C may become feasible. Furthermore, the oxidation behaviour was found to be influenced by the volume fraction of the Mo solid solution phase since the volatilization of the Mo solid solution phase leads to a mass loss of the compound.

High temperature compression properties of Al-, Cr-or Nb-added Ni3(Si,Ti) based intermetallic compounds were investigated by uni-axial compression test and microstructural observation. The Al-or Cr-added Ni3(Si,Ti) alloys after homogenization heat treatment exhibited a two-phase microstructure consisting of L12and Ni-solid solution phases. The Nb-added Ni3(Si,Ti) alloy after homogenization heat treatment exhibited a triple-phase microstructure consisting of G-phase with D8a structure and Ni-solid solution phase in the L12matrix. The volume fraction of Ni-solid solution phase increased in order of Cr-, Nb-and Al-added Ni3(Si,Ti) alloys. The Cr-added Ni3(Si,Ti) alloy was deformable at high strain rate, while the Nb-added one was deformable at low strain rate. It can be considered that the deformability of Ni3(Si,Ti) at high temperature is closely correlated with volume fraction of Ni-solid solution phase and recrystallization behavior.

Binary Nb-Hf alloys exhibit a wide bcc solid solution phase field at temperatures above the Hfα→ß transition (2023K) and a two phase bcc+hcp field at lower temperatures. The β solvus exhibits a small slope above about 1500K, suggesting the possible existence of a miscibility gap. An earlier investigation showed that two morphological forms of precipitate occur during the bcc→hcp transformation. The equilibrium morphology is rod-type with axes along <113> bcc. The crystallographic habit of the rod precipitate follows the Burgers relations: {110}||{0001}, <112> || <1010>. The earlier metastable form, transition α, occurs as thin discs with {100} habit. The {100} discs induce large strains in the matrix. Selected area diffraction examination of regions ∼2 microns in diameter containing many disc precipitates showed that, a diffuse intensity distribution whose symmetry resembled the distribution of equilibrium α Bragg spots was associated with the disc precipitate.

ABSTRACTThe high-strength and ductile hypo-, hyper- and eutectic Ti-Fe alloys were formed in the shape of the arc-melted ingots with the dimensions of about 25–40 mm in diameter and 10–15 mm in height. The structure of the samples consists of cubic Pm 3 m TiFe and BCC Im 3 m β-Ti supersaturated solid solution phase. The arc-melted hypereutectic Ti65Fe35 alloy has a dispersed structure consisting of the primary TiFe phase and submicron-size eutectic structure. This alloy exhibits excellent mechanical properties: a Young's modulus of 149 GPa, a high mechanical fracture strength of 2.2 GPa, a 0.2 % yield strength of 1.8 GPa and 6.7 % ductility. The hard round-shaped intermetallic TiFe phase and the supersaturated β-Ti solid solution result in a high strength of the Ti65Fe35 alloy which in addition has much higher ductility compared to that of the nanostructured or glassy alloys. The reasons for the high ductility of the hypereutectic alloy are discussed.

Nb-20Mo-15Si-5B-20(Cr,Ti) alloys have been subjected to annealing treatment for 2 hours in a range of temperatures from 700 to 1400oC and quenched in water to perform the microstructural characterization for these two new alloys. As cast structure consists of a solid solution phase, , and silicides (Nb5Si3) in both alloys but Cr alloy also contains NbCr2 and Nb3Si phases. Heating to higher temperature introduces Ti silicides in the microstructure for Ti alloy. The oxidation in air has been conducted on these alloys in the same temperature range for 24 hours. Weight gain per unit area as a function of temperature provides the oxidation curves while characterization techniques using SEM, EDS on SEM, x-ray mapping, and XRD has yielded the analyses of the oxide scale. The scale consists of various oxides of Nb, Mo, Cr, Si, and Ti. Cr alloy appears to offer higher oxidation resistance in the selected range of oxidation temperatures.

Ni-30wt%Fe elemental power mixture was mechanically milled under argon atmosphere for variuos times up to 25h.The evolution of Ni-Fe alloying during milling and the microstructure of the as-milled powders were characterized by XRD, EPMA (electron probe microanalysis), SEM and TEM, respectively. The results show that nanocrystalline Ni (Fe) supersaturated solid solution alloy powders with 30wt. % Fe in composition can be synthesized by mechanical milling of the elemental powder mixture. Both the content of Fe dissolved and the microstrain developed in the as-synthesized Ni (Fe) solid solution phase increase, while the crystallite size decreases, steadily with increasing milling time. In particular, the Ni-30wt%Fe alloy powders obtained by 25h milling consist of a single Ni (Fe) supersaturated solid solution phase with average crystallite size of about 15nm and accumulated microstrain as high as 1.12%. DSC tests show that the nanocrystalline Ni-30wt%Fe alloy powders have a lower melting temperature than the elemental powder mixture, attributed to the unique Ni (Fe) solid solution phase structure, the nanocrystallization, and the high strain energy.

The interfacial reactions between ceramic moulds and DZ417G and DZ125 superalloys were investigated. The microstructure and composition of the interface region were observed by optical microscope, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy. The results showed that (Al1-xCrx)2O3solid solution phase with pink color was formed from the dissolution of Cr2O3and Al2O3and vapour phase, which was transferred to the reaction surfaces. The reaction layer thicknesses of DZ417G and DZ125 alloys were about in the range of 40-50μm. The interface reaction product between DZ417G alloy and ceramic mould was TiO2and the product between DZ125 alloy and ceramic mould was HfO2.
