AbstractThe fracture and fatigue behavior of refractory metal silicide alloys/composites is significantly affected by the mechanical behavior of the refractory metal phase. This paper reviews some of the balance of properties obtained in the alloys/composites based on the Nb-Si system. Since some of the alloy/composite properties are dominated by the behavior of the refractory metal phase, the paper begins with a review of data on monolithic Nb and its alloys. This is followed by presentation of results obtained on Nb-Si alloys/composites and a comparison to behavior of some other high temperature systems.

ABSTRACTThe mechanical behavior of RuAl-base intermetallic alloys with alloying additions of boron, niobium and platinum has been investigated. Compression tests have been performed at room temperature and 973 K. While the addition of alloying elements results in solid solution strengthening, the strain-rate sensitivity and the activation volumes do not show a significant variation, thereby suggesting that the macroscopic flow mechanisms are not strongly affected. Deformation substructure analysis of the niobium-containing alloy shows the presence of <100> and <110> dislocations, while the platinum-containing alloy additionally contains a significant density of <111> dislocations.

ABSTRACTCopper-refractory metal composites/alloys are of interest for aerospace and related applications requiring good thermal conductivity and high strength at elevated temperatures[1]. These materials, due to generally very low mutual solubilities, may allow high strength microstructures to be developed which are stable at temperatures exceeding those suitable for precipitation strengthened alloys. Phase stability and mechanical property characteristics of bulk fabricated Cu-refractory metal composites were recently reviewed[2-3]. This paper reports the results of structure-property studies of a series of Cu1–xTax alloys created by RF sputter deposition. It will be shown that nanoscale face-centered-cubic and body-centered-cubic Ta particles form in the Cu matrix and that these Ta particles are very resistant to coarsening at temperatures up to 900ºC. Nanoindentation studies of these alloys reveal that their strengths are also essentially unaffected by exposure to 900ºC for times up to 100 hours.
