Abstract

It is expected that the κ-phase of the intermetallic compound Co3A1C0.5 would strengthen Cobase alloys used at high temperatures like the γ' -phase of Ni-base superalloys. Tensile and creep rupture properties of Co+κ two-phase alloys with κ-phase volume fractions up to 0.75 were investigated. Alloy samples made by directional solidification casting were annealed at 1573 K for 3.6 ks and at 1373 K for 28.8 ks in vacuum, followed by Ar gas cooling. Tensile tests at RT and 1073 K and creep rupture tests at 1089 K under a stress of 172 MPa were conducted with the tensile axis parallel to the solidification direction. In alloys with low κ-phase volume fraction, cuboidal K-precipitates with average particle diameters of 0.4 to 1.0 μm were observed. They were coherent with the Co(fcc) matrix with misfits of about 3%. As the κ-phase volume fraction increased, tensile strength also increased. The alloy with κ-phase volume fraction of 0.4 had a 0.2% proof stress of 817MPa, tensile strength of 1047 MPa at RT, creep rupture life of 1.43 Ms, and tensile strain higher than 10%. These strengths are better than those of the conventional Co-base alloys. However, ductility of alloys with κ-phase volume fraction larger than 0.4 decreased due to large eutectic and primary κ-phase particles.
