The Influence of Second-Phase Dispersion on Environmental Embrittlement of Ni3(Si, Ti) Alloys
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
Some quaternary Ni3(Si, Ti) alloyed with transition elements V, Nb, Zr and Hf was prepared beyond their maximum solubility limits to investigate the effect of second-phase dispersion on moisture-induced embrittlement. V-added Ni3(Si, Ti) alloy contained ductile fcc-type Ni solid solution as the second-phase, while Nb-, Zr- and Hf-added Ni3(Si, Ti) alloys contained hard dispersion compounds as the second-phase. V- and Nb-added Ni3(Si, Ti) alloys did not display reduced tensile elongation in air, indicating that their second phases have the effect of suppressing the moisture-induced embrittlement. Possible mechanisms for the beneficial effect by the second phase on the moisture-induced embrittlement of V- and Nb-added Ni 3(Si, Ti) alloys are discussed in association with hydrogen behavior and deformation property in the constituent phases or at matrix/second-phase interface.
