Directional solidification and characterization of the Al Nb2 - Al3 Nb eutectic system

  • 1. Universidade Estadual de Campinas, SP (Brazil). Faculdade de Engenharia Mecanica

Description

The manufacturing of components to operate at high temperatures requires the use of metallic materials which can keep satisfactory mechanical and chemical properties, even at temperatures beyond 1000 deg C. An interesting alternative is the use of directionally solidified eutectic alloys. The eutectic alloy solidification makes possible the production of 'in situ' composite. A potentially useful system for manufacturing structural materials is the Al-Nb eutectic system. The aim of this work is to present the directional solidification of the Al-Nb eutectic alloy.
