Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Abstract

Phase reactions in three high-temperature nickel-base alloys with 16–22% Cr are studied in the process of long-term laboratory aging after different kinds of heat treatment and after operation. The conditions of formation, the composition, and the amount of the σ-phase and its influence on the properties of the alloys are determined.
