ABSTRACTBend strength, compression strength, and fracture toughness of niobium beryllide intermetallic compounds have been assessed at temperatures from ambient to 1200°C. Hot-isostatically-pressed (HIP) Be12Nb showed significantly improved lowand high-temperature mechanical properties over vacuum-hot-pressed (VHP) material. Strengths at 20°C were 250 MPa in bending and 2750 MPa in compression with a fracture toughness of ∼4 Mpa√m, much higher than previously measured for this compound. High-temperature (≥ 1000°C) mechanical properties were also improved with bend strengths of 250 MPa at 1200°C as compared to only 70 to 100 MPa for the VHP material. However, severe pest embrittlement was detected in the HIP material at temperatures between 650 and 1000°C.

ABSTRACTMechanistic understanding of deformation twinning in ordered superlattice structures is reviewed, and the inter-relationships between twinning and generalized plastic flow or fracture toughness are discussed. While general discussions refer to all the fcc-based and bcc-based cubic and noncubic ordered intermetallic alloys, specific calculations of the energetic and kinetic aspects of deformation twinning are made for TiAl. The importance of the twin-slip conjugate relationship on high temperature mechanical properties is emphasized. Discussion is given of possible effects of macro- and micro-alloying on twinning propensity.

We used the results of ab initio calculations to improve the high temperature mechanical properties of a Cr-Ni-base alloy (Cr-33Ni-2W-0,3Ti-0,3V, wt.%) (alloy I) with two-phase α - γ microstructure. It was established that γ – phase in Cr-Ni-base alloy (I) plays a key role in the processes of plastic deformation. By analogy with Ni-base superalloys the bulk and grain boundaries cohesion in γ – phase of the Cr-Ni-base alloy (I) were strengthened by adding a package of the “low alloying” elements (Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta) (alloy II) chosen in accordance with our theoretical predictions. We further investigated an influence of a sum (Ta, Nb, Hf, Zr) like the low alloying additions on the mechanical properties of Cr-Ni-base alloy (I). The results of mechanical testing revealed a significant strengthening of the alloy (II) in comparison with (I) at the temperature 1080 oC in accordance with our predictions. We also investigated the microstructure’s peculiarities of the alloys (I) and (II).
