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.

Abstract Eutectic NiAl-(Cr,Mo) composites are promising high temperature materials due to their high melting point, excellent oxidation behavior and low density. To enhance the strength, hardness and fracture toughness, high cooling rates are beneficial to obtain a fine cellular-lamellar microstructure. This can be provided by the additive process of selective electron beam melting. The very high temperature gradient achieved in this process leads to the formation of the finest microstructure that has ever been reported for NiAl-(Cr,Mo) in-situ composites. A very high hardness and fracture toughening mechanisms were observed. This represents a feasibility study towards additive manufacturing of eutectic NiAl-(Cr,Mo) in-situ composites by selective electron beam melting.

Structural Applications

Directionally solidified (DS) in-situ composites based on (Nb) and Nb silicides, such as Nb5Si3 and Nb3Si, are being investigated for high-temperature structural applications. The use of alloying additions, such as Hf, Ti and Mo, to these silicides is required to enhance their properties. The present paper describes the microstructural response of a DS Nb-silicide based composite to creep testing.The composites investigated were directionally solidified from a molten alloy using the Czochralski method as described previously. Creep tests were conducted at 1200°C to strains of up 50%. Microstructure and microtexture characterizations were performed using scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis (EMPA), and electron backscatter diffraction pattern analysis (EBSP).Microstructures of the longitudinal section of a DS composite generated from a Nb-12.5Hf-33Ti- 16Si alloy are shown in Figure 1 in the as-DS (left hand side) and the DS+creep tested conditions (right hand side).
