Rc. Thomson et al., PHASE-SEPARATION IN A NI-37 AT-PERCENT CO-5-PERCENT NB ALLOY, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 250(1), 1998, pp. 104-108
Microstructural characterization has been performed on the decompositi
on in a Ni-37 at.% Co-5% Nb alloy during ageing at 500 degrees C For t
imes up to 501 h. Atom probe field ion and transmission electron micro
scopy data revealed a fine scale phase separation involving a Ni3Nb ph
ase and a Go-enriched matrix. This phase separation explains the inabi
lity of a solid solution strengthening model which was developed to pr
edict the yield stress for ternary Ni-M-Nb alloys. (C) 1998 Elsevier S
