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.

Temperature Applications

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.

AbstractMaterials processed by additive manufacturing often exhibit a very fine-scaled microstructures due to high cooling rates in the process. In this study, single-layer surface electron beam melting is used to create very high cooling rates similar to additive manufacturing processes to investigate the resulting microstructure. In the case of Nb-Si-Cr in-situ composites, a nano-scaled eutectic microstructure is beneficial for improving the mechanical and oxidational properties. Fast solidification results in the formation of supersaturated phases of Nbss and Cr2Nb with phase diameters down to 10 nm as well as in the stabilization of the metastable Nb9(Cr,Si)5 phase at room temperature. After processing with different solidification rates, the decomposition of the Nb9(Cr,Si)5 phase has been studied in detail with atom probe microscopy. The stabilization of mixed silicide phases by electron beam melting shows a new pathway for improving hardness and enhancing oxidation resistance of nanostructured eutectic in-situ composites, by which the inherent weaknesses of Nb-Si-Cr can be overcome without further alloying elements.
