Abstract

Nb-Ti-Si “in-situ” metal ceramic composites consist of Nb3Si and Nb5Si3 intermetallic phases in a body centered cubic Nb solid solution, and show promising potential for elevated temperature structural applications. The addition of Cr has also been shown to increase the oxidation resistance at high temperatures. In this study, the LENS™ (Laser Engineered Net Shaping) process is being implemented to construct the Nb-Ti-Cr alloy system from elemental powder blends. Advantages of the LENS™ process include the ability to produce near net shaped components with graded compositions as well as a more uniform microstructure resulting from the negative enthalpy of mixing associated with the silicide phases. This study focuses on characterization of the microstructure of the Nb-27Ti-5Si-10Cr (at%) system using SEM and TEM analysis.
