Nb base in-situ composites with the base composition of Nb-5Mo-2W-18Si were prepared by conventional arc-melting and induction heating floating zone melting followed by directional solidification. To investigate the effect of HfC addition, Nb was replaced with 0, 1 and 2 mol% HfC. The in-situ composites predominantly have an eutectic microstructure consisting of Nb solid solution (NbSS) and (Nb,Mo,W))5Si3 (5-3 silicide). The strength at 1470 K and 1670 K increases without fracture toughness decreasing, with increasing the HfC content. Directional solidification also improves the strength at the high temperature. The slip band under the shearing stress occurs in the NbSS during plastic deformation, which contributes to suppress microcrack propagation. It seems that HfC addition reinforces the bonding strength at grain boundary or NbSS/5-3 silicide interface.

The microstructure and mechanical properties including room temperature fracture toughness Kq, tensile strengthσb and elongationδ at 1250°C of the Nb based alloy directionally solidified in an electron beam floating zone melting (EBFZM) furnace have been evaluated. The microstructure is primarily composed of Nb solid solution (Nbss), α-(Nb)5Si3 and (Nb)3Si phases. After directional solidification with the moving rate of electron beam gun R being respectively 2.4, 4.8 and 7.2 mm/min, the primary Nbss dendrites, Nbss + (Nb)5Si3/(Nb)3Si eutectic colonies (lamellar or rod-like) and divorced Nb silicide plates align along the longitudinal axes of the specimens. When R = 2.4 mm/min, the best directional microstructure is obtained. Directional solidification has significantly improved theσb at 1250°C and Kq. The maximumσb occurs for the specimens with R = 2.4 mm/min and is about 85.0 MPa, meanwhile, the Kq is about 19.4 MPam1/2.

ABSTRACTMo fiber reinforced NiAl in-situ composites with a nominal composition Ni-43.8Al-9.5Mo (at.%) were produced by specially controlled directional solidification (DS) using a laboratory-scale Bridgman furnace equipped with a liquid metal cooling (LMC) device. In these composites, single crystalline Mo fibers were precipitated out through eutectic reaction and aligned parallel to the growth direction of the ingot. Mechanical properties, i.e. the creep resistance at high temperatures (HT, between 900 °C and 1200 °C) and the fracture toughness at room temperature (RT) of in-situ NiAl-Mo composites, were characterized by tensile creep (along the growth direction) and flexure (four-point bending, vertical to the growth direction) tests, respectively. In the current study, a steady creep rate of 10-6s-1 at 1100 °C under an initial applied tensile stress of 150MPa was measured. The flexure tests sustained a fracture toughness of 14.5 MPa·m1/2at room temperature. Compared to binary NiAl and other NiAl alloys, these properties showed a remarkably improvement in creep resistance at HT and fracture toughness at RT that makes this composite a potential candidate material for structural application at the temperatures above 1000 °C. The mechanisms responsible for the improvement of the mechanical properties in NiAl-Mo in-situ composites were discussed based on the investigation results.

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.
