Abstract

In as-cast ingots produced by arc-melting, several metastable polytypic modifications of NbCr2 were found additional to the cubic C15 phase stable at room temperature: C14, C36 and 6H-type structures, often highly faulted and/or intergrown. Strikingly, these phases had formed at locations of the specimen which had experienced a relatively low cooling rate, whereas the C15 phase was formed preferentially in regions which had experienced the highest cooling rates.
