Laves phases with their comparably simple crystal structure are very common intermetallic
phases and can be formed from element combinations all over the periodic table resulting in …

Abstract CoCrFeNiNb x (x= 0 or 1 at.%) high-entropy alloy (HEA) coatings with good
metallurgical bonding were successfully prepared on surfaces of pure titanium sheets by …

Laves phases form the largest group of intermetallic phases. Although they are well known
since long, there are still unsolved problems concerning the stability of the respective crystal …

In Part I, various models for the prediction of the occurrence and stability of Laves phases
have been discussed. In the present Part II paper, an overview is given on the various types …

Nb-based in situ composites are characterized by a large volume fraction of silicides and
Laves phase particles in an Nb solid solution matrix. The intermetallic hard particles can …

Pugh's criterion in terms of the bulk/shear modulus ratio (B/G) is widely used to distinguish
the ductility and brittleness of metals, with the recommended B/G ratio of 1.75 for the …

The effect of Ti content on the fracture toughness of the Cr 2 Nb–20/30/40Ti (in at.%) alloys
has been investigated in the arc melting and heat treatment (1473 K for 48 h) conditions …

The paper presents the results of an experimental study of large (≈ 0.6 kg) arc melted
buttons of four Ti free Nb-silicide based alloys with Sn addition with nominal compositions …

The C14 (hexagonal close-packed) and C15 (face-centred cubic) close-packed structures
are found to coexist in an individual Zr (Fe, Cr) 2 Laves structured nanophase in Zircaloy-4 …

Microstructure and mechanical properties of a binary Cr2Nb-based alloy containing the
Laves phase Cr2Nb and Cr phase have been studied in the arc-melted condition …
