Fibrous composites with high melting-point matrices

It is now well established that the strength and stiffness of materials such as epoxy resins and aluminium can be increased by the incorporation of suitable fibres. However, relatively little effort has been made to improve similarly the high temperature strength of materials intended for service above ca . 800°C. This paper is introduced with a general examination of fibre/matrix systems that offer improved high temperature capability over current materials, with reference to gas turbine blade applications. The importance of properties and characteristics that influence the selection of suitable fibre and matrix combinations, for example, density, strength, oxidation resistance and compatibility, are discussed. Experi­mental work on the strength of potentially useful fibres such as refractory metal and alumina filaments, their incorporation into nickel-base alloy matrices using vacuum-casting techniques, and the evaluation of composites are described. In terms of the measured properties and of strength predictions based on fibre and matrix data, the merits and limitations of composites relative to well-developed alloys strengthened by precipitation mechanisms are considered.

Currently there is a great interest in developing nickel base alloys with fine and uniform dispersion of stable oxide particles, for high temperature applications. It is well known that the high temperature strength and stability of an oxide dispersed alloy can be greatly improved by appropriate thermomechanical processing, but the mechanism of this strengthening effect is not well understood. This investigation was undertaken to study the dislocation substructures formed in beryllia dispersed nickel alloys as a function of cold work both with and without intermediate anneals. Two alloys, one Ni-lv/oBeo and other Ni-4.5Mo-30Co-2v/oBeo were investigated. The influence of the substructures produced by Thermo-Mechanical Processing (TMP) on the high temperature creep properties of these alloys was also evaluated.

Intermetallic matrix composites are candidates for ultrahigh temperature service when light weight and high temperature strength and stiffness are required. Recent efforts to produce intermetallic matrix composites have focused on the titanium aluminide (TiAl) system with various ceramic reinforcements. In order to optimize the composition and processing of these composites it is necessary to evaluate the range of structures that can be produced in these materials and to identify the characteristics of the optimum structures. Normally, TiAl materials are difficult to process and, thus, examination of a suitable range of structures would not be feasible. However, plasma processing offers a novel method for producing composites from difficult to process component materials. By melting one or more of the component materials in a plasma and controlling deposition onto a cooled substrate, a range of structures can be produced and the method is highly suited to examining experimental composite systems. Moreover, because plasma processing involves rapid melting and very rapid cooling can be induced in the deposited composite, it is expected that processing method can avoid some of the problems, such as interfacial degradation, that are associated with the relatively long time, high temperature exposures that are induced by conventional processing methods.
