Microstructures and mechanical properties of CrFeNi2Nbx eutectic multicomponent alloys

The effects of Nb content on microstructures and resultant mechanical properties in Co-free CrFeNi2Nbx (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.55, 0.6, and 0.8) eutectic multicomponent alloys were investigated at room temperature. With increasing Nb content, the initial microstructure of a single face-centered cubic phase varied from hypoeutectic (0.2 0.6) with the formation of Fe2Nb-type Laves phase, and the compressive strength and...
