Abstract

The aim of this study is two-fold: first we reexamine the thermodynamic stability of γ’-Co3(Al,W) phase in the Co-Al-W ternary system. Secondly, we investigate the effect of a fourth alloying element (Ti or Ta) on the thermodynamic stability of the γ’ phase through microstructure observation, DSC measurement and EPMA analysis. Coarsened areas with γ/CoAl/Co3W phases are formed after annealing at 900 ºC for 2000 h in Co-Al-W ternary alloys with different Al/W ratios, which confirms that the three phases are in equilibrium with each other and that the γ’ phase is metastable at this temperature. The addition of a fourth alloying elements does not drastically change the microstructure formed after long term annealing at 900 ºC, indicating that the alloying elements do not improve the stability of the γ’ phase.
