METALLURGICAL STABILITY OF SEVERAL BORIDE DISPERSION SYSTEMS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4111601
The metallurgical stability (compatibility) of 80 different boride-metal systems was determined experimentally. Specifically, the compatibility of some MB/sub 2/ borides (HfB/sub 2/, TiB/sub 2/, VB/sub 2/, ZrB/sub 2/), MB/sub 4/ borides (B/sub 4/C, YB/sub 4/), and MB/sub 6/ bo rides (CaB/sub 6/, EuB/sub 6/, SmB/sub 6/, and YB/sub 6/) with the metals Ti, Zr. Fe, stainless steel (304), Ni, Cu, Ag, and Al, respectively, was determined using the methods of x ray diffraction and metallography. Determinations were made on disperse powder samples at temperatures and times consistent with anticipated fabrication parameters. (auth)
