Diffusion Mechanism in the μ Phase in Nb-X (X= Ni, Co, Fe) Systems
View through CrossRef
Nb is one of the common refractory elements added in Ni, Co and Fe based superalloys. This lead to the formation of brittle topological close packed (tcp) μ phase, which is deleterious to the structure. It mainly grows by interdiffusion and in the present article, the interdiffusion process in different Nb-X (X=Ni, Co, Fe) systems is discussed. The activation energy for interdiffusion is lower in the Co-Nb system (173 kJ/mol) than Fe-Nb system (233 kJ/mol), which is again lower than the value found in the Ni-Nb system (319.7 kJ/mol). The mole fraction of Nb in this phase is less than Fe or Co at stoichiometric compositions in the Nb-Fe (that is Fe7Nb6) and Nb-Co (that is Co7Nb6) systems. On the other hand, the mole fraction of Nb is higher than Ni in the same phase (Ni6Nb7) in Ni-Nb system. However, in all the phases, Nb has lower diffusion rate. Possible diffusion mechanism in this phase is discussed with respect to the crystal structure.
Title: Diffusion Mechanism in the μ Phase in Nb-X (X= Ni, Co, Fe) Systems
Description:
Nb is one of the common refractory elements added in Ni, Co and Fe based superalloys.
This lead to the formation of brittle topological close packed (tcp) μ phase, which is deleterious to the structure.
It mainly grows by interdiffusion and in the present article, the interdiffusion process in different Nb-X (X=Ni, Co, Fe) systems is discussed.
The activation energy for interdiffusion is lower in the Co-Nb system (173 kJ/mol) than Fe-Nb system (233 kJ/mol), which is again lower than the value found in the Ni-Nb system (319.
7 kJ/mol).
The mole fraction of Nb in this phase is less than Fe or Co at stoichiometric compositions in the Nb-Fe (that is Fe7Nb6) and Nb-Co (that is Co7Nb6) systems.
On the other hand, the mole fraction of Nb is higher than Ni in the same phase (Ni6Nb7) in Ni-Nb system.
However, in all the phases, Nb has lower diffusion rate.
Possible diffusion mechanism in this phase is discussed with respect to the crystal structure.
