Research on reaction-bonded SiC (RBSiC) is aimed at developing a reliable structural ceramic with improved mechanical properties. The starting materials for RBSiC were Si,C and α-SiC powder. The formation of the complex microstructure of RBSiC involves (i) solution of carbon in liquid silicon, (ii) nucleation and epitaxial growth of secondary β-SiC on the original α-SiC grains followed by (iii) β>α-SiC phase transformation of newly formed SiC. Due to their coherent nature, epitaxial SiC/SiC interfaces are considered to be segregation-free and “strong” with respect to their effect on the mechanical properties of RBSiC. But the “weak” Si/SiC interface limits its use in high temperature situations. However, few data exist on the structure and chemistry of these interfaces. Microanalytical results obtained by parallel EELS and HREM imaging are reported here.

Structural Applications

MoSi2 is a potential matrix material for high temperature structural composites due to its high melting temperature and good oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. The two major drawbacksfor structural applications are inadequate high temperature strength and poor low temperature ductility. The search for appropriate composite additions has been the focus of extensive investigations in recent years. The addition of SiC in a nanolayered configuration was shown to exhibit superior oxidation resistance and significant hardness increase through annealing at 500°C. One potential application of MoSi2- SiC multilayers is for high temperature coatings, where structural stability ofthe layering is of major concern. In this study, we have systematically investigated both the evolution of phases and the stability of layers by varying the heat treating conditions.Alternating layers of MoSi2 and SiC were synthesized by DC-magnetron and rf-diode sputtering respectively. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) was used to examine three distinct reactions in the specimens when exposed to different annealing conditions: crystallization and phase transformation of MoSi2, crystallization of SiC, and spheroidization of the layer structures.

Abstract High-temperature laser-scanning confocal microscopy (HT-LSCM) has proven to be an excellent experimental technique through in-situ observations of high temperature phase transformation to study kinetics and morphology using thin disk steel specimens. A 1.0 kW halogen lamp, within the elliptical cavity of the HT-LSCM furnace radiates heat and imposes a non-linear temperature profile across the radius of the steel sample. This local temperature profile when exposed at the solid/liquid interface determines the kinetics of solidification and phase transformation morphology. A two-dimensional numerical heat transfer model for both isothermal and transient conditions is developed for a concentrically solidifying sample. The model can accommodate solid/liquid interface velocity as an input parameter under concentric solidification with cooling rates up to 100 K/min. The model is validated against a commercial finite element analysis software package, Strand7, and optimized with experimental data obtained under near-to equilibrium conditions. The validated model can then be used to define the temperature landscape under transient heat transfer conditions.

Two modifications of ThNi2P2 were prepared in a tin flux at 850 °C (α-ThNi2P2) and 1000 °C (β-ThNi2P2). The crystal structures of both modifications were refined from single­crystal X-ray data. α-ThNi2P2 (BaCu2S2 type structure): Pnma. a = 819.69(5), b = 394.28(3), c = 981.54(7) pm. R = 0.028 for 32 variables and 654 structure factors: β-ThNi2P2 (CaBe2Ge2 type structure): P4/nmm, a = 408.5(1), c = 908.0(3) pm, R = 0.033 for 15 variable parameters and 261 F values. Although the two structures are closely related, they can be transformed into each other only by a reconstructive phase transformation. The differences and similari­ties of the two structures are discussed. The high temperature form has higher symmetry, a smaller number of variable positional parameters, and a tendency for higher coordination numbers.

Nb–silicide in situ composites have great potential for high-temperature turbine applications. Nb–silicide composites consist of a ductile Nb-based solid solution together with high-strength silicides, such as Nb5Si3and Nb3Si. With the appropriate addition of alloying elements, such as Ti, Hf, Cr, and Al, it is possible to achieve a promising balance of room-temperature fracture toughness, high-temperature creep performance, and oxidation resistance. In Nb–silicide composites generated from metal-rich binary Nb-Si alloys, Nb3Si is unstable and experiences eutectoid decomposition to Nb and Nb5Si3. At high Ti concentrations, Nb3Si is stabilized to room temperature, and the eutectoid decomposition is suppressed. However, the effect of both Ti and Hf additions in quaternary alloys has not been investigated previously. The present article describes the discovery of a low-temperature eutectoid phase transformation during which (Nb)3Si decomposes into (Nb) and (Nb)5Si3, where the (Nb)5Si3possesses the hP16 crystal structure, as opposed to the tI32 crystal structure observed in binary Nb5Si3. The Ti and Hf concentrations were adjusted over the ranges of 21 to 33 (at.%) and 7.5 to 33 (at.%) to understand the effect of bulk composition on the phases present and the eutectoid phase transformation.
