The structural and surface stabilities of two experimental c-Ni+c¢-Ni 3 Al-base alloys containing Pt or Ir were investigated. These alloys are representative of alloys currently being developed to occupy a unique domain with a good combination of high-temperature strength and resistance to oxidation and hot corrosion. Structural characterization included differential thermal analysis (DTA), transmission synchrotron X-ray analysis, precipitate morphology evolution, phase-partitioning behavior, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dislocation analysis, and isothermal precipitate-coarsening behavior. Electron microprobe investigations showed that Pt partitions largely to the c¢ phase, while Ir partitions more to the c phase. As a consequence, the influence of these two elements on the c-c¢ lattice-parameter mismatch was quite different. Specifically, synchrotron X-ray analysis confirmed a positive c-c¢ misfit in both the Pt-and Ir-modified alloys in the temperature range 700°C to 1200°C; however, the Pt partitioning to the c¢ phase resulted in a much larger misfit. The coarsening kinetics of both alloys followed a cubic time dependence and Pt addition was more effective than Ir in slowing the coarsening rate. Thermodynamic predictions about elemental partitioning and about the solidus, liquidus, and c¢ solvus temperatures were made using the software package PANDAT; the results of these predictions were compared with experimental measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
