Additive manufacturing of high-strength multiphase nanostructures in the binary Ni–Nb system for the discovery of new types of superalloys
Abstract Ni-based superalloys have been studied extensively due to their impressive mechanical properties, including strength and creep resistance at high temperatures. Growing interest surrounding additive manufacturing (AM) methods has led to recent investigations of alloys that are traditionally difficult to process, including Ni-based superalloys. Recent work has shown that AM methods enable high-throughput materials discovery and optimization of difficult- or impractical-to-process alloys, including those with high or even majority refractory element compositions. This work focuses on AM-enabled investigations of composition-dependent mechanical and microstructural properties for Ni–Nb binary alloys. Specifically, we report on the mechanical behavior of compositionally-graded NixNb1−x and uniform composition Ni59.5Nb40.5 specimens made with AM. The AM fabrication process resulted in extraordinarily high strength, attributed to the formation of a dual-phase microstructure consisting of δ-Ni3Nb and µ-Ni6Nb7 intermetallic compounds with nanostructured and multimodal grain size and eutectic lamellar spacing.Graphic Abstract
