Title: REGULARITIES IN CREEP AND HOT FATIGUE DATA. PART II

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4245349

The theory of regularities ia creep and hot-fatigue data are compared with 103 sets of published creeprupture, creep rate, and hot fatigue data relating mainly a alloys of the iron, nickel, chromium, and cobalt system of 44 different compositions. The results of all analyses are tabulated, and a statistical assessment of the extent of agreement of the theory with the data are given with reference to the number of free constants used. (J.E.D.) l6l95 The niobium-carbon system has been determined by x-ray and metallographic examination of sintered and arc-cast alloys. Two carbides exist: hexagonal Nb/sub 2/C with a limited range of homogeneity, and cubic NbC with a solubility range from 8.25 a 10.25 weight per cent carbon. Dilute alloys freeze by eutectic reaction at the eutectic temperature, but this decreases rapidly with temperature. Metallographic evidence indicates a peritectic reaction between melt, Nb/sub2/C, and NbC; alloys richer in carbon than NbC freeze by eutectic reaction. (auth)
