Abstract

The results of high-temperature compressive deformation tests on a two-phase alloy consisting of Cr2Nb, a C15 Laves phase, and a soft Nb-based solid solution, are presented along with measurements of oxidation kinetics at 1273 K in air. These alloys are deformable only at temperatures above 1273 K. The measured 0.2% yield stress decreases steadily with increasing temperature and is only slightly sensitive to alloy composition. The steady state flow stress decreases steadily with increasing temperature and depends on alloy composition. A constitutive equation was fitted to the experimental data with a composition-independent stress exponent of about 2.7 and an apparent activation energy which ranges between 477 and 391 kJ/mol, also depending on alloy composition. Microstructural examination shows that cracking (cavitation) and interfacial sliding between the two constituent phases, in addition to bulk deformation of the constituent phases, are responsible for the deformation. The oxidation resistance of these alloys is very good.
