Abstract

On the basis of creep strength, ultimate tensile strength and oxidation resistance, seven intermetallic compounds with melting temperatures above 1600°C have been selected as possible candidate materials for high temperature structural applications in advanced aero-turbines. These compounds, Nb3Al, Cr3Si, Co2Nb, Cr2Nb, MoSi2, Mo5Si3 and Nb2Al, have been evaluated and their properties reported herein. All seven of the compounds displayed excellent creep resistance at 1200°C with Mo5Si3 and Nb2Al being the strongest. Nb3Al, with the precipitation of the niobium solid solution displayed the greatest low temperature toughness. The greatest ultimate tensile strengths were observed for Co2Nb and MoSi2, while MoSi2 was by far the most oxidation resistant.
