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.

Abstract FANSTEEL 80 METAL is a columbium-base alloy containing nominally 1% zirconium. It is produced by electron-beam melting which gives it exceptionally high interstitial purity. It is several times stronger than pure columbium at elevated temperature; and this is without sacrificing the ease of fabrication associated with columbium. Fansteel 80 Metal can be fabricated easily at room temperature and high-quality ductile welds are possible. Its applications include nuclear, liquid metal loops and structures for high-temperature environments. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Cb-10. Producer or source: Fansteel Metallurgical Corporation. Originally published August 1966, revised November 1981.

Titanium aluminides are highly attractive for high temperature applications involving dynamic components, e.g. turbine blades or turbocharger wheels, due to their high strength-to-weight ratio. The drawback is the difficult manufacturing of this material class due to the low toughness and high sensitivity to oxygen. Selective electron beam melting SEBM shows a new approach of producing complex titanium aluminide parts without a major oxygen pick up and avoiding problems with brittleness. The high cooling rates of this process lead to a very fine microstructure, which is not fully understood up to now. The microstructure determines the creep properties and therefore defines the performance of this material in high temperature applications. In this contribution, the creep properties of Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb fabricated by SEBM are investigated. The influence of the processing parameters and the building direction on the microstructure and the creep properties are discussed and compared to cast material.
