Title: Ductile long range ordered alloys with high critical ordering temperature and wrought articles fabricated therefrom

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6038432

Malleable long range ordered alloys having high critical ordering temperatures exist in the V(Fe, Co)/sub 3/ and V(Fe, Co, Ni)/sub 3/ systems. These alloys have the following compositions comprising by weight: 22 to 23% V, 14 to 30% Fe, and the remainder Co or Co and Ni with an electron density no more than 7.85. The maximum combination of high temperature strength, ductility and creep resistance are manifested in the alloy comprising by weight 22 to 23% V, 14 to 20% Fe and the remainder Co and having an atomic composition of V(Fe/sub 0.20-0.26 C/Co/sub 0.74-0.80/)/sub 3/. The alloy comprising by weight 22 to 23% V, 16 to 17% Fe and 60 to 62% Co has excellent high temperature properties. The alloys are fabricable into wrought articles by casting, deforming, and annealing for sufficient time to provide ordered structure.
