The data are presented mainly as isothermal sections at 1523 and 1273 K, determined primarily by electron probe microanalysis and X-ray diffraction; some data for 1173 K are also included. The phases covered by the investigation are as follows: the Ni based solid solution γ, the Mo–Ta based solid solution, and intermetallic compounds based on Ni8Ta, Ni3Ta, Ni2Ta, Ni3Mo, and NiMo. A notable feature of the equilibria is the extensive solid solubility of Mo (up to ∼11 at.-%) in orthorhombic Ni3Ta in the range 1523–1173 K. In contrast to a previous report in the literature, it has also been shown that Ni3Ta and Ni3Mo do not form a continuous series of solid solutions at 1173 K. At 1523 and 1273 K, γ enters into equilibria with the following phases: Ni8(Ta, Mo), Ni3(Ta, Mo), and NiMo.

Based on the experimental results, where σf was measured in the steels and their grain size and carbide size were changed independently, it is suggested that in the grain size range cited, the predominant mechanism was the propagation of a microcrack, which formed in the discrete carbide, into contiguous ferrite grains. The measured values of σf were discussed in a quantitative manner based on a model into which an equilibrium distribution of dislocations produced by the double pile-up mechanism was incorporated.","PeriodicalId":18750,"journal":{"name":"Metal science","volume":"13 1","pages":"581-589"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72911391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result of the continuous ripening of the carbide precipitates the density of carbide pinned dislocations, which are assumed to provide an important contribution to strength, decreases as the creep process advances. In correlation with creep crack formation, a nitriding effect can occur during long term testing in air which is accompanied by an increase of the creep resistance.","PeriodicalId":18750,"journal":{"name":"Metal science","volume":"121 1","pages":"549-555"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79441677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increase of Cr and Mo contents increased both the rate and the maximum amount of σ phase precipitation, while the increase of Ni content reduced the maximum amount of σ phase precipitation, though the rate of the precipitation was also accelerated. The effect of Ni can be explained in terms of the reduction in the δ phase fraction before aging, resulting in the enrichment of σ forming elements in the ferrite.","PeriodicalId":18750,"journal":{"name":"Metal science","volume":"112 1","pages":"541-548"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80722208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A few cycles of fully reversed overstress applied intermittently during very large numbers of cycles of understress below the threshold stress intensity caused significant acceleration of crack propagation. Ultrahigh voltage electron microscopic observation of the dislocation structures adjacent to fatigue crack tips revealed the occurrence of remarkable recovery during understressing and the formation of a radial band structure within the recovered region on overstressing. These structure changes induced by varying the stress are thought to be responsible for the acceleration of crack propagation in the material.

Although the sintered M2 steel underwent a brittle–ductile transition at ∼300°C, no associated significant change in the fracture mechanism was detected. In all samples studied, cracking of individual carbides (nucleation of failure) was followed by the subcritical linking of these microcracks through the matrix, i.e. growth, and only then by catastrophic propagation, as a Griffith crack from an approximately semielliptical edge (or corner facet) fracture initiating region.
