The Co-Cr-Ta (Cobalt-Chromium-Tantalum) System K.P. Gupta, The Indian Institute of Metals

Introduction Very little work has been done in the Co-Cr-Ta system. Only the face-centered-cubic (fcc) ␥Co phase boundary has been established at high temperature. The aging of Co-CrTa alloys has been studied and is reported here.

Binary Systems Two evaluated versions of the Co-Cr phase diagram are shown in Fig. 1(a) [1978All, 1990Gup] and (b) [Massalski2]. The two versions are in quite close accord except for the Co-rich region below ∼900 °C. The two agree with regard to the following. Above 1300 °C, the Co-Cr system is a simple eutectic system with the eutectic reaction, L ↔ (Cr) + (␥Co), occurring at 1395-1397 °C. At 1283 °C, the (Cr) solid solution undergoes a congruent transformation to a ␴ phase. A eutectoid reaction, (Cr) ↔ ␴ + (␥Co), occurs near 1260-1266 °C. A peritectoid reaction, (␥Co) + ␴ ↔ (␧Cr), occurs at 967 °C. Lack of agreement between the two evaluated diagrams occurs (a) in the composition region with compositions of
