Abstract

In situ aligned composites are envisioned for applications in environments involving simultaneous exposure to the effects of thermal cycling and oxidizing atmospheres. Therefore, to examine the extent of any synergism between these two effects, the oxidation behavior at 800°C and 1000°C of the aligned eutectic alloy TaC-Co50B-3W was examined in both the as-solidified state and after exposure to thermal cycling effects. The results presented here indicate that thermal cycling strongly influences the oxidation behavior of this alloy.
