Creep behavior was investigated along the pseudo-binary line between L12-type Ni3Si and Co3Ti system with constant Si content. Addition of Co to Ni3Si and addition of Ni to Co3Ti enhanced creep strength due to precipitation hardening, respectively. Maximum creep strength on the pseudo-binary line was found at the composition which Co/(Ni+Co)=0.3 with 11 at.% Si content. The peak of creep strength on the pseudo-binary line was shifted to higher Co/(Ni+Co) value with decreasing Si content. Variation of creep strength was discussed based on metallo-graphic observations.
Also, the creep strength of these pseudo-binary alloys was improved by further addition of other elements, such as Hf and Ta.
