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.

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).

Ir-based superalloys are irreplaceable in some specific harsh conditions regardless of their cost and high density. In order to develop a new class of Ir-based superalloy for future ultrahigh-temperature applications, the microstructure evolution, phase relationships, and mechanical properties of Ir–Al–W–Ta alloys with γ/γ′ two-phase structure were investigated. Room- and high-temperature compressions at 1300 °C, and room-temperature nanoindentation for the Ta-containing Ir–6Al–13W alloys were conducted. The results show that the addition of Ta can significantly improve the high-temperature mechanical properties, but does not change the fracture mode of the Ir-based two-phase superalloys. The compressive strength of quaternary alloys can be attributed to the precipitation of γ′-Ir3(Al, W) phase and solid solution strengthening. The microstructure and mechanical properties of Ir–Al–W–Ta quaternary alloys exhibit promising characteristics for the development of high-temperature materials.

It is expected that silicon nitride based ceramics will be used as high-temperature structural components. Though much progress has been made in both processing techniques and microstructural control, the mechanical properties required have not yet been achieved. It is thought that the high-temperature mechanical properties of Si3N4 are limited largely by the secondary glassy phases present at triple points. These are due to various oxide additives used to promote liquid-phase sintering. Therefore, many attempts have been performed to crystallize these second phase glassy pockets in order to improve high temperature properties. In addition to the glassy or crystallized second phases at triple points a thin amorphous film exists at two-grain junctions. This thin film is found even in silicon nitride formed by hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) without additives. It has been proposed by Clarke that an amorphous film can exist at two-grain junctions with an equilibrium thickness.

Abstract BERYLCO NICKEL ALLOY 440 is an age-hardenable nickel-beryllium-titanium alloy that offers high strength, excellent spring properties outstanding formability, good high-temperature mechanical properties, and resistance to corrosion and fatigue. Complex shapes can be produced in the solution-treated (soft) condition and then aged to a minimum tensile strength of 215,500 psi. It is used for mechanical and electrical/electronic components in the temperature range -320 to 800 F. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on high temperature performance and corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Ni-94.
