The invention discloses a
Laves phase eutectic
alloy with high strength, high
hardness and high
thermal stability and a preparation method of the
Laves phase eutectic
alloy. The preparation method comprises the following steps that 1, high-purity
metal raw materials are polished and cleaned, and proportioning is conducted according to chemical components Cr-22.93 Fe-53.68 Nb (at.%); and 2, the
metal raw materials are sequentially put into a water-cooled
copper crucible of a non-consumable
electric arc melting furnace according to the sequence that the melting points are from low to high, the vacuum degree of a furnace body is increased to 3 * 10 <-3> Pa to 6 * 10 <-3> Pa, high-purity
argon is introduced, the air pressure in the furnace is controlled to be 0.05 Pa, and in an
electric arc melting process, an
alloy ingot is turned over and remelted five times to obtain an eutectic alloy product. According to the eutectic alloy, in a microscopic structure, a full eutectic
Laves phase / Nbss phase is arranged in dendrites, a full eutectic Laves phase / mu phase / Nbss phase is arranged among the dendrites, the eutectic alloy has high strength, high
hardness and high
thermal stability, meanwhile, low-cost Fe is adopted for replacing Cr, the material cost is low, the manufacturing process is simple, rapid and efficient, the eutectic alloy has the advantages of being small in
crystallization temperature interval, good in fluidity, small in component segregation and the like, and is suitable for preparing large-size high-quality components with uniform components and structures.
