Abstract

Refractory Metal-Intermetallic Composites (RMICs) based on the Nb-Si system have been considered as candidates for the next-generation high temperature materials (i.e. >1200°C). Ti, Cr and Hf have been shown to have beneficial effects on the oxidation resistance and mechanical properties of Nb-Si alloys. The present study has determined phase equilibria in the Nb-rich region of the Nb-Si-Ti-Cr-Hf system via the Calphad approach. The alloying effects of Cr and Hf on the microstructure of Nb-Si-Ti alloys are understood based on isothermal sections, liquidus projections, and solidification curves that were calculated from the thermodynamic models of the Nb-Ti-Si-Cr-Hf system developed in the present study. This work provides important guidelines on the development of new Nb-Si-Ti-Cr-Hf alloys.
