| Abstract Scope |
Mo-Si-B alloys offer attractive high temperature properties including excellent oxidation resistance and high strength and creep resistance. The alloy microstructure is comprised of a majority phase of BCC together with silicide and borosicilide (T2) phases. Due to solidification segregation however, non-equilibrium phases such as borides typically will form and are very difficult to remove even with subsequent annealing process at ultra-high temperatures. Partial substitution of Nb for Mo eliminates this issue due its effect in enhancing the thermodynamic stability of the T2 phase. Further, the Nb alloying creates new ultra-high temperature eutectic microstructures with enhanced mechanical properties at temperatures up to 1600°C with a potential for scale-up by solidification processing. |
