Abstract
The room-temperature fracture toughness and high-temperature compression strength are investigated in directionally solidified Nb-Mo-Si-based alloys with aligned Nbss/Nb5Si3 lamellar structure. The fracture toughness is higher as grain size is reduced or annealing at 1300°C for 100h is applied. The normalized work of rupture (χl) in the in situ Nbss/Nb5Si3 lamellar structure is modeled and calculated to range from 0.10 to 0.38. Besides, the Nbss and Nb5Si3 are firmly connected on the fracture surface. Thus, the Nbss/Nb5Si3 interface is strongly bonded. Either reducing interface toughness or enhancing Nbss toughness is advantageous for interface decohesion. In the annealed Nb-17Si-10Mo-0.1Ga alloy, a small amount of Nbss/Nb5Si3 interface decohesion is observed because the annealing increases the toughness of Nbss. At 1250°C and 1350°C, the maximum compression strength is 620MPa and 520MPa, respectively.
