Data regarding the influence of Al, Ti, and C additions to as-cast Al_0.6CoCrFeNi compositionally complex alloys on microstructures and mechanical properties.

ABSTRACT: This brief paper contains raw data of X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, microstructural characterization, chemical compositions, and mechanical properties describing the influence of Al, Ti, and C on as-cast Al_0.6CoCrFeNi compositionally complex alloys (CCAs). The presented data are related to the research article in reference [1] and therefore this article can be referred to as for the interpretation of the data. X-ray diffraction data presented in this paper are measurements of 2θ versus intensities for each studied alloy. A Table lists the obtained lattice parameters of each identified phase determined by Rietveld analysis. Microstructural-characterization data reported here include backscattered electron (BSE) micrographs taken at different magnifications in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) of Widmanstätten and dendritic microstructures and microstructural parameters such as phase volume fractions, thickness of face-centered cubic (FCC) plates, and prior grain sizes. The compositions of the identified individual phases determined by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) are listed as well. Finally, mechanical data including engineering stress-strain curves obtained at different temperatures (room temperature, 400 °C, and 700 °C) for all CCAs are reported.

Project description:Coating system(s) will be required for Nb-silicide based alloys. Alumina forming alloys that are chemically compatible with the Nb-silicide based alloy substrate could be components of such systems. The intermetallic alloys Nb1.45Si2.7Ti2.25Al3.25Hf0.35 (MG5) and Nb1.35Si2.3Ti2.3Al3.7Hf0.35 (MG6) were studied in the cast, heat treated and isothermally oxidised conditions at 800 and 1200 °C to find out if they are αAl₂O₃ scale formers. A (Al/Si)alloy versus Nb/(Ti + Hf)alloy map, which can be considered to be a map for Multi-Principle Element or Complex Concentrated Nb-Ti-Si-Al-Hf alloys, and a [Nb/(Ti + Hf)]Nb5Si3 versus [Nb/(Ti + Hf)]alloy map were constructed making use of the alloy design methodology NICE and data from a previously studied alloy, and were used to select the alloys MG5 and MG6 that were expected (i) not to pest, (ii) to form αAl₂O₃ scale at 1200 °C, (iii) to have no solid solution, (iv) to form only hexagonal Nb₅Si₃ and (v) to have microstructures consisting of hexagonal Nb₅Si₃, Ti₅Si₃, Ti₅Si₄, TiSi silicides, and tri-aluminides and Al rich TiAl. Both alloys met the requirements (i) to (v). The alumina scale was able to self-heal at 1200 °C. Liquation in the alloy MG6 at 1200 °C was linked with the formation of a eutectic like structure and the TiAl aluminide in the cast alloy. Key to the oxidation of the alloys was the formation (i) of "composite" silicide grains in which the Nb₅Si₃ core was surrounded by the Ti₅Si₄ and TiSi silicides, and (ii) of tri-aluminides with high Al/Si ratio, particularly at 1200 °C and very low Nb/Ti ratio forming in-between the "composite" silicide grains. Both alloys met the "standard definition" of high entropy alloys (HEAs). Compared with HEAs with bcc solid solution and intermetallics, the VEC values of both the alloys were outside the range of reported values. The parameters VEC,  and  of Nb-Ti-Si-Al-Hf coating alloys and non-pesting Nb-silicide based alloys were compared and trends were established. Selection of coating alloys with possible "layered" structures was discussed and alloy compositions were proposed.

Project description:In Nb-silicide based alloys Al, Cr, Hf, and Ti additions are crucial for achieving balance of properties. It is not known how the simultaneous addition of Hf with Al and Ti, or Hf with Al, Cr, and Ti affects macrosegregation, and how the alloying affects hardness, Young's modulus and bulk alloy oxidation, and contamination of the solid solution Nbss and the Nb?Si? compound by oxygen. Two alloys with nominal compositions (at.%) Nb-24Ti-18Si-5Al-5Hf (alloy NbSiTiHf-5Al) and Nb-24Ti-18Si-5Al-5Cr-5Hf (alloy NbSiTiHf-5Al-5Cr) were studied in the as-cast and heat-treated conditions and after isothermal oxidation at 800 and 1200 °C and were compared with similar alloys without Hf. In both alloys there was macrosegregation of Si and Ti, which was more severe in NbSiTiHf-5Al. Both alloys formed Nbss+?Nb?Si? eutectic. The Nbss was stable and its Al and Cr concentrations increased with increasing Ti concentration. In both conditions the ?Nb?Si? was observed in the alloys NbSiTiHf-5Al and NbSiTiHf-5Al-5Cr, and the ?Nb?Si? only in the alloy NbSiTiHf-5Al. In both heat-treated alloys, separate Hf-rich Nb?Si? grains were formed. The Si and Al concentrations in Nb?Si? respectively decreased and increased with increasing Ti concentration. Al and Cr had a stronger hardening effect in the Nbss than Al, Cr, and Hf. Al, Cr, and Ti had a stronger negative effect on the Young's modulus of the Nbss compared with Al, Cr, Hf, and Ti. When Nb was substituted by Ti, Cr, and Hf, and Si by Al in the ?Nb?Si?, the Young's modulus was reduced compared with the unalloyed silicide. At 800 °C both alloys did not exhibit catastrophic pest-oxidation after 100 h. The Nbss and Nb?Si? were contaminated by oxygen in both alloys, the former more severely. At 1200 °C the scales spalled-off, more severely in the alloy NbSiTiHf-5Al, where substrate that was heavily contaminated by oxygen below the scale also spalled-off. In both alloys the contamination of Nb?Si? and Nbss by oxygen was more severe compared with 800 °C, but the silicides were not contaminated by oxygen in their bulk. The Nbss was not contaminated by oxygen only in the bulk of the alloy NbSiTiHf-5Al-5Cr.
