Conclusions
-
1.
Secondary recrystallization occurs at the contact between specially alloyed molybdenum filaments with a Nichrome matrix, and an intermetallic zone as much as 12μ wide with a high hardness is formed at the boundary with the matrix.
-
2.
In a Fecraloy matrix the alloyed molybdenum filament does not recrystallize and the addition of powdered Cr-W-Mo alloy prevents formation of a brittle intermetallic layer at the boundary.
-
3.
The addition of the powdered Cr-W-Mo alloy to the Nichrome matrix restrains secondary recrystallization processes in the molybdenum filament. The transition zone at the matrix-filament interface has a low microhardness.
-
4.
The powdered Ni-W-Mo alloy activates secondary recrystallization of the molybdenum filament in the Nichrome-molybdenum and Fecraloy-molybdenum composites. This indicates that nickel lowers the stability of the structure of molybdenum with holding at elevated temperatures.
