Abstract
Decomposition of a Cu-30 pct Ni-1 pct Nb alloy on aging in the range of 866 K (600°C) to 1073 K (800°C) was investigated. The initial decomposition, concomitant with age hardening, occurred through the precipitation of body centered tetragonal metastable Ni3Nb-γ” precipitates on the 100 matrix planes. Equilibrium orthorhombicβ phase formed either through a grain boundary cellular reaction at low temperature (≤973 K (700°C)) or as Widmanstaettenplatelets on the 1ll planes at higher temperatures (≥1073 K (800°C)) with the following crystallographic relationship: (0l0)β//111γ [100]β//[1•11]γ. Based on the observations, a schematic transformation sequence is presented.
