Summary: | The powder metallurgy technology of mechanical alloying followed by hot-pressing consolidation has been used to obtain NbCr...-Ni Laves phases. High-purity Nb, Cr, and Ni crystalline powders were milled for periods up to 35 h. These powders were vacuum sintered at 1250...C for 0.5 h under 45 MPa. The phase transformations of NbCr...-Ni Laves phases have been investigated by X-ray diffraction. The grain size decreases and the microstrain increases with increased Ni content. Different phase transformations were observed from NbCr...-Ni intermetallics. It is found that the electron concentration and phase stability correlation is obeyed in the Nb-Cr-Ni systems. However, the electron concentration corresponding to the C15/C14 phase transition is found to move to a higher value (i.e. 6.103) than the predicted one (i.e. 5.88) in the literature.
