A Study of the Effects of Hf and Sn on the Microstructure, Hardness and Oxidation of Nb-18Si Silicide-Based Alloys-RM(Nb)ICs with Ti Addition and Comparison with Refractory Complex Concentrated Alloys (RCCAs)

In this paper, we present a systematic study of the as-cast and heat-treated microstructures of three refractory metal intermetallic composites based on Nb (i.e., RM(Nb)ICs), namely the alloys EZ2, EZ5, and EZ6, and one RM(Nb)IC/RCCA (refractory complex concentrated alloy), namely the alloy EZ8. We...
