Laves phase intermetallic matrix composite in situ toughened by ductile precipitates

Data on a Laves phase intermetallic matrix composite in situ toughened by ductile precipitates

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Laves phase intermetallic matrix composite in situ toughened by ductile precipitates" (Knowles et al.) [1]. The composite comprised a Fe2(Mo, Ti) matrix with bcc (Mo, Ti) precipitated laths produced in situ by an aging heat treatment, which was shown to confer a toughening effect (Knowles et al.) [1]. Here, details...

Fracture toughness characterization of ductile phase containing in-situ BMG composite

Magnetic anisotropy in the cubic Laves REFe2 intermetallic compounds

In the past, the Callen–Callen (1965 Phys. Rev. 139 A455–71; 1966 J. Phys. Chem. Solids 27 1271–85) model has been highly successful in explaining the origin and temperature dependence of the magneto-crystalline anisotropy in many magnetic compounds. Yet, despite their high ordering temperatures of ∼650 K, the Callen–Callen model has proved insufficient for the REFe2 compounds. In this paper, w...

HIGH-TEMPERATURE FRACTURE AND FATIGUE RESISTANCE OF A DUCTILE b-TiNb REINFORCED g-TiAl INTERMETALLIC COMPOSITE

ÐThe high-temperature fatigue-crack propagation and fracture resistance of a model g-TiAl intermetallic composite reinforced with 20 vol.% ductile b-TiNb particles is examined at elevated temperatures of 650 and 8008C and compared with behavior at room temperature. TiNb reinforcements are found to enhance the fracture toughness of g-TiAl, even at high temperatures, from about 12 to 040 MPa m, a...

IN-SITU FABRICATION PROCESS OF AL- TIC COMPOSITE BY SLAG

The new in situ method for AI-TiC composite fabrication has been carried out. In this method, fabrication of AI-TiC composite by simultaneous introduction of titanium oxide and carbon into aluminum melt was investigated.. Under the process conditions, titanium and carbon reaction results in titanium carbide whiskers. The salt containing keriolite (Na3AIF6), titanium oxide (TiO2) and graphite us...
