Co-RICH INTERMEDIATE PHASES IN THE Cb-Co SYSTEM

Metallographic and x-ray-diffraction study of Nb-Co alloys in the composition range of 7 to 33 at.% Nb, after annealing at 1175 deg C, showed that near 25 at.% Nb an MgNi/sub 2/type hexagonal Laves phase exists in a narrow composition range, and that an MgCu/sub 2/-type cubic Laves phase occurs between approximately 27 and 32.6 at.% Nb. Lattice parameter and density measurements indicated that, in both phases, the deviations from proper Laves stoichiometry resultad from the substitution of cobalt atoms for some of the niobium atoms. The same phases occur at 1000 deg C, together with an additional phase of unknown structure, which appears between the hexagonal Laves phase and the cobaltbase terminal solid solutions. (auth)
