摘要

Nb–Si-based in situ composites are receiving attention as a substitute for Ni-based alloys in aerospace, while poor toughness limits its application. In this work, the toughness of Nb4FeSi-containing Nb–Si-based alloys was improved by hot deformation. The different deformation behaviors of reinforcements from traditional alloys, including the eutectoid decomposition of β-Nb5Si3, and the stacking faults (SFs) and reorientation-induced plasticity (RIP) effect of Nb4FeSi, are revealed. During hot deformation, the β-Nb5Si3 phase undergoes the eutectoid decomposition to obtain the α-Nb5Si3 and niobium-based solid solutions (Nbss) phases, which α-Nb5Si3 and Nbss satisfy the relationship {110}α//{110}Nbss. The [ \({1}\overline{1}{\text{0}}\) 1 1 ¯ 0 ] SFs and lath-like reoriented variants are formed in the Nb4FeSi phase, where the matrix and variants follow [001]m//[111]v, ( \({1}\overline{1}{\text{0}}\) 1 1 ¯ 0 )m//( \({1}\overline{1}{\text{0}}\) 1 1 ¯ 0 )v. Furthermore, the interface between matrix and variant is Σ33c symmetrical tilt boundaries, manifested as ( \({1}\overline{1}{\text{0}}\) 1 1 ¯ 0 )/60°. The fracture toughness of the deformed alloy reaches 18.31 MPa·m1/2 at 1300 °C/0.005 s−1/0.7, which is 49% higher than the initial alloy.
