PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a platinum-iridium alloy which has a compressive strength above that of an Ni based single crystal heat resistant alloy at 1,200 deg.C, and has sufficiently high room temperature toughness. SOLUTION: In a Pt-Ir binary alloy, the content of Ir is >0 to
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide Ir-Nb alloy having improved creep life which is considered to be a material useful for members for use in high temperature and high stress, such as a jet engine, turbine blades and turbine vane of a gas turbine, and further a space-plane engine, etc. SOLUTION: In the Ir-Nb alloy in which iridium (Ir) is used as a base and niobium (Nb) is added to it and precipitates with Ll2 structure are precipitated in a matrix with fcc structure in a manner to be coherent with the matrix. In this alloy, >=1 atomic % niobium and >=1 atomic % zirconium (Zr) are added and the sum of the additive quantities of niobium and zirconium is made to 10-20 atomic %, and further, this alloy exhibits >=100 hr creep life at >=1,600 deg.C.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce an iridium based cemented carbide which has excellent high temperature strength, or higher strength and in which grain boundaries are strengthened, and intergranular cracking is suppressed. SOLUTION: In the iridium based cemented carbide having a composition consisting of iridium as a base, to which one or more kinds of metals selected from the metallic groups consisting of vanadium, titanium, niobium, tantalum, hafnium and zirconium are added by 2 to 22 atomic %, and in which precipitates having an LI2 structure are comformably precipitated into a base phase having an fcc structure, further, carbon or boron (in the case of boron, by 200 wppm at most) in a trace amount by which a third phase does not appear is added.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for accurately and simply analyzing an iridium alloy, enabling the melting and chemical analysis of the iridium alloy chemically stable and difficult to melt because of a metal bond. SOLUTION: An alkaline peroxide is added to a powder sample of the iridium alloy to heat and melt the iridium alloy. This molten iridium alloy is dissolved in aqua regia to obtain a solution sample which is, in turn, used to quantify the element in the iridium alloy.
