Abstract

Ni-based stable and metastable solid solutions with T3 and T4 transition metals have been prepared by rapid liquid quenching. The microhardnesses of these alloys show a substantial increase (by a factor of 4 to 5) that scales with their size mismatch as well as the solute concentration. It was found that the microhardness increase, ΔH, can be fitted well to the theoretical equation: ΔHv = K μ (cη)4/v3 where μ is the solvent shear modulus, c is the solute concentration and η is the size mismatch. The constant K for Ni base solid solutions is ~85.
