Abstract
In this work, the evolution of MC-type Nb-rich primary carbides in a 35Ni-25Cr-Nb-type refractory alloy, commonly known as HP40-Nb, and its transformation into Ni-Nb silicide known as G-phase (Ni16Nb6Si7), has been studied. For this purpose, the experimental technique of scanning electron microscopy was used together with X-ray microanalysis to detect changes in the chemical composition of niobium carbide over time and at a given aging temperature. The microstructure of the studied alloy, in its as-cast condition, consists of an austenitic matrix strengthened by a network of primary eutectic-like carbides rich in chromium and niobium of the M23C6 and MC types, respectively. During aging of the alloy at high temperatures, microstructural changes take place such as the secondary precipitation of M23C6 type carbides and the transformation of the primary Nb-rich carbide towards the Ni-Nb-rich silicide. It has been found that the transformation begins at the interface of the niobium carbides with the matrix, progressing towards their interior with the development of aging.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
