The formation of precipitates and its effect on grain structure in V-4Cr-4Ti alloys with yttrium addition

Coexisting superconductivity and ferromagnetism in the (V0.60Ti0.40)-Gd alloys

“…The rare earth elements are immiscible in solid vanadium [6,7,22,23,24,25,26,27]. It was predicted theoretically that no binary Ti-rare earth and V-rare earth compounds will form [27].…”

The Effect of Yttrium Addition on the Microstructure and Irradiation Hardening in V-4Cr-4Ti Alloy under Self-Ion Irradiation

“…In our work, small vacancy clusters were formed, however, their size might be too small to be distinguished by TEM, so no void could be found in all samples. With the increase of the addition of Y element, the size and density of Ti-rich precipitate decrease [28], the interface between Ti-rich precipitates and matrix becomes smaller, which might contribute to the higher hardness. Thus, the results calculated by the DBH model which were contributed by dislocation loops are quite different from the test results of the nano-indentation test.…”
