Abstract

For the Ni-base TaC eutectics, it has been shown previously that carbide volume fraction is a strong function of Ta/C ratio. Now in a number of Ni,Cr-TaC and Ni,Cr,Al-TaC alloys, Cr has been observed to have only a small influence on volume fraction of carbide, while Al has a major influence acting to decrease the volume fraction. The Al present in the matrix causes the phase equilibrium to approach that of a much greater Ta/C ratio. This analysis has been extended to more complex NiTaC alloys as well. For the simple Ni-Cr-Ta-C alloys, creep behavior has been studied as a function of volume fraction of carbide.

Other carbide systems have been evaluated as well, including TiC and NbC. A general understanding of volume fraction differences between these systems and TaC can be reached by consideration of ideal solution behavior and the appropriate phase diagrams.
