Abstract

Microstructural investigations of Co-5W-2.5Ta (at.%) and Co-4Mo-4.5Ta (at.%) ternary alloys were conducted. Fine coherent precipitates were observed in these alloys annealed at 800°C, and the crystal structures of precipitates (γ') and matrix (γ) phase were identified as the L12 and A1 structure, respectively, by transmission electron microscopy. Cellular precipitation with a γ+κ(D019) lamellar structure also proceeded at grain boundaries, and the alloys aged for a longer time only showed the γ+κ two-phase microstructure instead of the γ' phase. With aging at around 800°C, the peak hardness of these alloys with a γ+γ' two phase structure was about 580 Hv.
