The ternary Cr–Al–Nb phase diagram: Experimental investigations of isothermal sections at 1150, 1300 and 1450°C

“…In order to improve the insufficient low-temperature deformability, the effect of the addition of ternary alloying elements has been investigated [11,12]. A candidate worth to be studied as alloying element is Al, because both the metal Cr as well as the Laves phase NbCr 2 can dissolve large amounts of Al [13,14]. As the knowledge of the phase equilibria in respective systems is an essential prerequisite for the development of materials on the basis of such alloys, the aim of the present work is an investigation of the high-temperature phase equilibria in the ternary Cr-Al-Nb system.…”
