PRECIPITATION PHENOMENA IN COBALT-TANTALUM ALLOYS

Journal Article · · Trans. Met. Soc. AIME
OSTI ID:4187924

The precipitation phenomena occurring in cobalttantalum alloys were investigated in the temperature range from 500 to 1050 deg C by correlating the results of metallographic, X-ray, micro- and macrohardness, and electrical resistivity studies. The property changes were found to depend on general precipitation and lamellar precipitation. Two new intermetallic phases, alpha Co/Ta, a metastable ordered face-centered-cubic compound, and a stable beta Co/ Ta phase of hexagonal structure were identified. The previcusly reported Co/sub 2/Ta phase was found to exist in two allotropic modifications, the hexagonal MgZn/ sub 3/-type and the cubic MgCu/sub 2/-type Laves phases. (auth)
