Abstract

The interface in natural Nb-Si composites is analyzed for three structural modifications of Nb5Si3.On the basis of the crystal-chemical analysis of the phase conjugation surfaces, using the concept of the lattice of matching nodes, the value of the discrepancy in the interatomic distance of the mating planes is determined and the conclusion is made about the mechanisms of compensation of the lattice mismatch, the degree of deformation of the crystal lattices and the possibility of diffusion processes on the interface for Nb–Si composites with different modifications of the silicide.

Based on the crystal-chemical analysis of the interfacial boundary in the composite Nb–α-Nb5Si3 using the concept of a lattice of coincident nodes, the value of the discrepancy between the interatomic distances in the mating planes is determined: it is 3.8% in a series of atoms perpendicular to the direction of growth, and an order of magnitude less – 0.4% - along the direction of growth. At small (less than 10%) mismatch values, compensation at the interface can occur due to elastic deformations of the mating re-grids, without defects in the crystal structure.

In the composite Nb–β-Nb5Si3 based on the difference of average interatomic distances in the matrix of Nb and the silicide β-Nb5Si3, the value of the dimensional mismatch of the adjacent lattices is at 7.8%. For interphase boundaries with a mismatch of less than 10%, compensation can be achieved by elastic deformation and the formation of an average lattice with a period of ~3Å without defects in the crystal structure.
