It was found that Zr distributes at interdendrites and grain boundaries in the form of ZrC particle and Ni 5Zr eutectic phase which can refine microstructure. Ni 5Zr phase can alleviate the crack initiation at grain boundaries and dendrite boundaries, which helps deformation to be harmonical between matrix and precipitates at elevated temperature.展开更多
文摘The effect of Zr on tensile property, microstructure and fracture behaviour of cast Ni 3Al based alloy strengthened with carbides has been studied. It was found that Zr distributes at interdendrites and grain boundaries in the form of ZrC particle and Ni 5Zr eutectic phase which can refine microstructure. Ni 5Zr phase can alleviate the crack initiation at grain boundaries and dendrite boundaries, which helps deformation to be harmonical between matrix and precipitates at elevated temperature.
