Microstructural comparison of Zr73.5Nb9Cu7Ni1Al9.5 nanostructure-dendrite composites produced by different casting techniques

High strength ultrafine eutectic Fe–Nb–Al composites with enhanced plasticity

“…Recently, multicomponent Ti- [34,35] and Zr- [36,37] alloys have been developed that exhibit a higher level of strength and plasticity (compressive fracture strength: w1.75 GPa, compressive plastic strain: w10.3%) by introducing a micrometer-scale primary phase in an ultrafine (or nanometer) scale eutectic matrix. Even binary eutectic TieFe has been reported to show high strength and plasticity (compressive fracture strength: w2.2 GPa, compressive plastic strain: w6.7%) [38].…”

Effect of B addition to hypereutectic Ti-based alloys

“…The deformation behaviour of the Ti-Cu-Ni-Sn-Ta [13], Ti 66 Cu 8 Ni 4.8 Sn 7.2 Nb 14 [14] and other similar alloys [15][16][17] has been studied in detail [18]. Ultrafine eutectic composites with high strength and enhanced plasticity were also developed recently in Fe-Nb-Al system [19] as well as in Fe-Zr system [20,21].…”

Combustion Synthesis of Large Bulk Nanostructured Ni65Al21Cr14Alloy

“…By TEM images and corresponding SAED patterns, it can be further found that the nanolamellar and fiber in the dendrites consist of about 3-20 nm high dense twins (see Figure 3(b)). It has been proved that both nano/ultrafine eutectic structure [9,[25][26][27] and nanotwinned structure [28,29] could enhance strength and ductility of metallic materials.…”
