Abstract

Given the importance of nickel-base superalloys, there is interest in developing new cobalt-based superalloys with a dual phase (face-centered cubic)/'-Co3(Al,W) (L12) microstructure. Novel Co-based superalloys with this dual microstructure, have been developed by powder metallurgy (PM) techniques in our research. Starting from two particular compositions, Co-12Al-10W at.% and Co-12Al-10W-2Ti-2Ta at.%, processed by mechanical alloying (MA) alloys have been consolidated utilizing field-assisted hot pressing (FAHP). Our research is focused on the effects of specific heat treatments on the final microstructure. The results are linked to the final '-Co3(Al,W) (L12) volume-fraction, which depends on the temperature and times employed during both steps of the heat treatments. Microhardness measurements of both compositions demonstrate that Ti- and Ta-additions increase the microhardness values of the Co alloy. This quinary alloy also exhibits an increase of the '-Co3(Al,W) (L12) volume-fraction on the final samples.
