Abstract
Y2O3 crucibles have been prepared for as-cast Nb-22Ti-16Si-2Al-2Cr-2Hf and Nb-22Ti-16Si-2Al-2Cr alloys at 1950 °C. The microstructures, metal-crucible interfaces and contaminations were evaluated. Experimental results demonstrated that a mild interface reaction occurred between the Y2O3 crucibles and Hf, resulting in some inclusions dispersed in the metallic matrix. However, without Hf addition, no apparent reaction layers or inclusions were found. Both alloys were slightly contaminated with oxygen as the result of slow thermal dissociation of Y2O3, and its extent depended on Hf contents and holding times.
