摘要

Directionally solidified specimens of Nb-Ti-Si based ultrahigh temperature alloy with the withdrawing rates of 2.5μm/s and 50μm/s were homogenized at 1250, 1350°C and 1400°C for 50h, respectively. The constituent phases were Nbss, β(Nb, X)5Si3 and γ(Nb, X)5Si3. The needle-like precipitates of Cr2(Nb, Ti) appeared in the specimens directionally solidified at the withdrawing rate of 2.5μm/s after homogenizing treatments, and its amount increased with the homogenizing temperatures. After homogenizing treatments, the straight boundaries and sharp edges of the primary hexagonal silicides became smooth, the fine silicides in the center of the eutectic cells became spheroidzed, and some silicide blocks in the eutectic cells broke into small ones. The transformation from β(Nb, X)5Si3 to α(Nb, X)5Si3 did not occur during the homogenizing treatments. After homogenizing treatments, the microhardness of the alloy increased remarkably, and its value first increased and then decreased with the increasing of the homogenizing temperatures. The maximum value of microhardness of the constitute phases occurred in the specimens homogenized at 1350°C for 50h.
