Abstract
The effects of Cr additions to y-base alloys have been investigated, using bulk materials consolidated from rapid solidification-processed ribbons. The composition ranges studied were 0 to 4 at. pet Cr and 44 to 54 at. pet Al. It was found that Cr additions do not affect the deformation behavior of single-phase γ alloys. However, they significantly enhance the plasticity of Al-lean duplex alloys which contain grains of single-phase γ and grains of lamellar γ/α2. Other Cr effects on microstructure, phase stability, site occupancy, and deformation sub-structures were characterized and correlated to the observed mechanical behavior. It was concluded that the ductilization effect of Cr in duplex alloys is partially due to the tendency of Cr to occupy Al lattice sites. Ductilization is also partially due to the ability of Cr to modify the Al partitioning and, therefore, the thermal stability of transformed α2 laths.
