Conclusions
The Nichrome alloy was alloyed with niobium to produce the materials of the LNKhB7 and LNKhB8 grades with a heterogeneous structure which consist of an alloyed solid solution and nickel and a high-hardness phase, i.e., molybdenum carbide. Heat treatment (normalizing, aging) greatly hardens the material as a result of the formation of the high-hardnessγ′ phase (Ni3Al).
The materials hardened with the high-hardness molybdenum carbide and theγ′ phase have high and stable strength properties in the temperature range 20–700°C (800°C); at temperatures higher than the temperature of hardening heat treatment the strength properties of the materials rapidly decrease.
Alloying the grade LNKhB materials with niobium greatly improves the tribotechnical characteristics as a result of the formation of a surface film in the form of complex compounds on the friction surfaces.
