Abstract

Equilibrated alloys were characterized using SEM/EDX and XRD methods to identify the Co-Nb-Ni phase equilibria at 1100 °C and 900 °C. The isothermal section at 1100 °C was re-constructed and the partial phase relationships at 900 °C were further validated. The crystal structure of the ternary compound τ was proved to be of the Mg3Cd type with Pearson symbol hP8 and space group P63/mmc. The addition of nickel can increase the phase stability of Co7Nb2. The Co-Nb, Ni-Nb, and Co-Nb-Ni systems were assessed using the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagram) method. The present experimental and calculated results can be used as a reference for developing and designing Co/Ni-based intermetallics and superalloys.
