Abstract

In-situ composites based on Nb-Si alloys are potential candidates for application as structural materials in future aircraft engines. In order to achieve the balance of properties that is required, additional alloying species, such as Ti, Hf, Mo, Cr, Al, are employed. The present paper describes the effect of Hf additions on phase stability of Nb-Si alloys. Liquid-solid and solid-state phase equilibria have been investigated. The Nb-Hf-Si liquidus surface and the isothermal section at 1500°C will be described. A broad range of Nb and Hf compositions were investigated for Si concentrations up to 35.0%.
