Abstract
AbstractMicrolaminated composites of Nb3Al-Nb and Cr2Nb-Nb(Cr) were synthesized by high rate magnetron sputtering. Both composites were stable at elevated temperatures. A Cr2Nb-Nb(Cr) composite with 2 µm metal and intermetallic layers had room temperature tensile fracture strength over 725 MPa and a fracture toughness of about 20 MPa√m. Composites with 2 µm and 6 µm thick refractory metal and intermetallic laminations were compared and it was found that layer thickness did not affect fracture toughness. Microlaminates with the thicker 6 µm laminations had lower fracture strength, however. Good fracture strength and high fracture toughness indicated that microlaminated high temperature composites synthesized by vapor phase deposition exhibit the properties predicted by ductile toughening models.
