Mechanically Activated Combustion Synthesis Of Molybdenum Borosilicides For Ultrahigh-Temperature Structural Applications, Alan Alberto Esparza Hernandez
Mechanically Activated Combustion Synthesis Of Molybdenum Borosilicides For Ultrahigh-Temperature Structural Applications, Alan Alberto Esparza Hernandez
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
The desire to improve the efficiency of power generation gas-turbines has led to a relentless quest for new, ultrahigh-temperature structural materials to replace the current nickel-based superalloys. These materials have reached the maximum allowable operating temperature determined by the melting temperature of these alloys, which is about 1150 °C. These materials could be replaced by molybdenum silicides and borosilicides based on Mo5SiB 2 (T2) phase due to their high melting point and mechanical properties. A major challenge, however, is to simultaneously achieve high oxidation resistance and acceptable mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. One novel approach to improve these properties is …
The Effect Of Al And B Additions On The Oxidation Behavior Of Alloys From The Nb-Cr-Si System, Nydia Judit Esparza
The Effect Of Al And B Additions On The Oxidation Behavior Of Alloys From The Nb-Cr-Si System, Nydia Judit Esparza
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
Nickel based superalloys have been developed to perform substantially in industry however as technology develops, the need and desire to increase service temperatures to improve efficiency and performance is pushing the capabilities of these alloys. These aspired requirements entail the research and development of new structural materials that surpass the abilities of nickel alloys. Research in Nb-based alloys is underway as Nb alloys have shown to be a promising alternative with similar density but higher melting temperatures than the Ni alloys. However, because Nb has poor oxidation properties extensive studies are necessary to develop an alloy that can perform as …

The Effect Of Al, Mo, And B On The Oxidation Behavior Of Three Nb-Based Alloys, Victoria Rae Rangel
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
Extensive work has been undertaken to develop niobium based structural alloys for high temperature applications. These developments have led to the increase in engine operating temperatures and better performance efficiency. New materials including alloys based on metals with higher melting points such as molybdenum and niobium with silicon are now being examined as a better alternative to nickel base superalloys. Materials with a niobium silicide based composites have the potential for higher temperature capabilities. The oxidation behavior of Nb-20Cr-10Si and Nb-20Cr-10Si-5Al has been studied in a range of temperature from 700 to 1400°C in static air. Isothermal oxidation experiments indicate …
Development And Characterization Of The Oxidation Behavior Of Various High Temperature Niobium Based Alloys, Benedict Isabel Portillo
Development And Characterization Of The Oxidation Behavior Of Various High Temperature Niobium Based Alloys, Benedict Isabel Portillo
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
The oxidation response of various niobium based refractory alloys from the Nb-Mo-Si-B-X alloy system has been examined at temperatures between 700 and 1400°C in air. The development of these alloys was part of an ongoing effort to develop and discover a new materials system capable of replacing nickel based super alloys. Additions of titanium were found to provide limited oxidation resistance. A discontinuous layer of TiO2 was observed to from at temperatures above 1100°C. Alloys containing titanium additions were observed to suffer from pest oxidation at low and intermediate temperatures due to the development of Nb2O5. Poor oxidation resistance at …

The mechanical behavior of dual-phase NiAl(Cr) microstructures, consisting of elongated primary NiAl grains aligned with an intergranular NiAl-Cr eutectic phase, produced by extrusion of a cast NiAl(Cr) alloy, has been examined. Chromium addition to create a dual phase NiAl-based aligned microstructure leads to large increases in the yield strength but no significant toughness improvement. This is achieved primarily by solid solution hardening and precipitation hardening. The constitutional hardening rate resulting from deviations from stoichiometry in the nickel-rich NiAl was estimated to be about 66 MPa per atomic per cent of nickel.
