Nb(1.30)Cr(0.70)S(5): a layered ternary mixed-metal sulfide.

ABSTRACT: The new layered ternary sulfide, Nb(1.30)Cr(0.70)S(5), niobium chromium penta-sulfide, is isostructural with the solid solution Nb(1+x)V(1-x)S(5) and belongs to the FeNb(3)Se(10) structure type. Each layer is composed of two unique chains of face-sharing [NbS(8)] bicapped trigonal prisms (m symmetry) and edge-sharing [MS(6)] (M= Nb, Cr) octa-hedra (m symmetry). One of the two metal sites is occupied by statistically disordered Nb and Cr atoms, with 0.3 and 0.7 occupancy, respectively. The chains are connected along the c axis, forming two-dimensional layers, which then stack on top of each other to complete the three dimensional structure. As a result, an undulating van der Waals gap is found between the layers.

Project description:This paper is about metallic ultra-high temperature materials, in particular, refractory metal intermetallic composites based on Nb, i.e., RM(Nb)ICs, with the addition of boron, which are compared with refractory metal high entropy alloys (RHEAs) or refractory metal complex concentrated alloys (RCCAs). We studied the effect of B addition on the density, macrosegregation, microstructure, hardness and oxidation of four RM(Nb)IC alloys, namely the alloys TT2, TT3, TT4 and TT8 with nominal compositions (at.%) Nb-24Ti-16Si-5Cr-7B, Nb-24Ti-16Si-5Al-7B, Nb-24Ti-18Si-5Al-5Cr-8B and Nb-24Ti-17Si-3.5Al-5Cr-6B-2Mo, respectively. The alloys made it possible to compare the effect of B addition on density, hardness or oxidation with that of Ge or Sn addition. The alloys were made using arc melting and their microstructures were characterised in the as cast and heat-treated conditions. The B macrosegregation was highest in TT8. The macrosegregation of Si or Ti increased with the addition of B and was lowest in TT8. The alloy TT8 had the lowest density of 6.41 g/cm3 and the highest specific strength at room temperature, which was also higher than that of RCCAs and RHEAs. The Nbss and T2 silicide were stable in the alloys TT2 and TT3, whereas in TT4 and TT8 the stable phases were the Nbss and the T2 and D88 silicides. Compared with the Ge or Sn addition in the same reference alloy, the B and Ge addition was the least and most effective at 800 °C (i.e., in the pest regime), when no other RM was present in the alloy. Like Ge or Sn, the B addition in TT2, TT3 and TT4 did not suppress scale spallation at 1200 °C. Only the alloy TT8 did not pest and its scales did not spall off at 800 and 1200 °C. The macrosegregation of Si and Ti, the chemical composition of Nbss and T2, the microhardness of Nbss and the hardness of alloys, and the oxidation of the alloys at 800 and 1200 °C were also viewed from the perspective of the alloy design methodology NICE and relationships with the alloy or phase parameters VEC, δ and Δχ. The trends of these parameters and the location of alloys and phases in parameter maps were found to be in agreement with NICE.
