RESUMO

The transition metal silicides have been investigated aiming high temperature applications. The thermal expansion is one of main properties for applications. The aim of this work was the evaluation of the thermal expansion coefficients for αTa5Si3 and Cr5Si3 phases and the investigation of (Hf, Ti)5Si3 phase formation. The Ta-Si and Cr-Si alloys were prepared by arc-melting. The Ta-Si alloys were heat-treated at 1900 °C for 3 h in argon atmosphere. The Cr-Si alloys were treated at 1200 °C for 24 h in argon. The alloys were characterized by X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy. The αTa5Si3 and Cr5Si3 phases were analyzed in high temperatures up to 800 °C using high-resolution X-ray diffraction with synchrotron radiation source. The thermal expansion coefficients for the αTa5Si3 tetragonal phase (T2) was found to be 5.9(3).10-6 K-1 and αc = 9.2(4).10-6 K-1 in Ta62.5Si37.5 composition alloy and αa = 6.2(3).10-6 K-1 and αc = 9.5(4).10-6 K-1 in Ta62Si38 composition alloy. The anisotropy αc/αa was determined to be 1.5 for both samples. The thermal expansion coefficients for Cr5Si3 hexagonal phase was found to be αa = 17.1(3).10-6 K-1 and αc = 11.1(4).10-6 K-1 for Cr62.5Si37.5 composition alloy and αa = 17.2(3).10-6 K-1 and αc = 10.7(4).10-6 K-1 for Ta62Si38 composition alloy. The values of the anisotropy αc/αa were respectively, 1.5 and 1.6. In the second part of this work, the alloys of Hf(62.5-x)TixSi37.5 (0 ≤ x ≤ 62.5) compositions with different proportion of Hf and Ti were prepared by arc-melting and heat-treated at 1200 °C for 24 h in argon atmosphere. The formation of (Hf,Ti)5Si3 phase was observed for all prepared alloys. The alloys of Hf38.9Ti23.6Si37.5 and Hf22.5Ti40Si37.5 to Ti62.5Si37.5 compositions were found to be single-phase. The variation in the lattice parameters a and c for the hexagonal (Hf,Ti)5Si3 phase with different proportion of Hf and Ti shown the formation of solid solution in all range between Hf5Si3 and Ti5Si3 with partial substitution of Hf by Ti.
