Conclusions
-
1.
The addition of silicon to nickel-base alloys has a large effect on the nature and formation rate of precipitating carbides and intermetallic phases.
-
2.
The ν carbide of the M6C type formed in alloys with silicon has a smaller lattice constant than in alloys without silicon or the ν carbide of the M12C type. Silicon accelerates the formation of carbides of the M12C type.
-
3.
Silicon favors the formation of Laves phase in nickel alloys. After aging for 1000 h, Laves phase is formed in alloy ÉI929 with 1% Si and in alloy ÉP220 with 0.4% Si.
