Improving primary Nbss morphology and fracture toughness in hypoeutectic Nb-Si-Ti ternary alloy by ultrasonic treatment

Nb-Si ultra-high temperature alloys have been a hot topic in aviation materials, but low fracture toughness limits the application. Ultrasound treatment has a significant advantage on the grain refinement and properties improvement, successfully induced into hypoeutectic Nb-Si-Ti ternary alloys to i...
