Abstract:
Eutectiferous behavior was observed within pseudobinary joins between the monocarbides of the group IVa and Va metals with nickel and cobalt. Coupled two phase growth normal to a macroscopically planar liquid-solid interface was noted even though the various carbide phases grew in a faceted manner. The composite structures formed by unidirectional freezing consisted of either a cobalt or nickel matrix with an aligned whisker-like or three-sided lamellar carbide dispersion. The nickel-niobium monocarbide system was examined in greatest detail and found to be stronger than TD nickel in tension from room temperature to 2100°F. Repeated fracture along the length of individual carbide whiskers was observed during tensile straining. This behavior, which is nontypical of previous eutectic whisker composites, was interpreted in terms of the distribution in whisker strengths. The strength of extracted NbC whiskers measured in bending was found to approach the theoretical failure stress. Creep rupture tests further indicated that reinforcement of a weak nickel or cobalt matrix with aligned monocarbide whiskers provides a new type of material for use at elevated temperatures.
