| Research Abstract |
Mo alloys, which are known to be one of high melgin-temperature metals, are used as high-temperature materials such as heaters, trays for heat-treatments and a X-ray target. Further wide use requires high strengthening of the alloys.
The present research aims to harden a Mo-nitride surface layr formed by nitriding and also to strengthen the alloy by precipitation of very fine TiN particles dispersed in Mo matrix through preferred nitriding of dilute Mo-Ti alloys. Especially on the basis of basic and systematic investigations we tried to develop a new Mo-based composities in which a great number of nano-scale TiN superfine particles disperse through nitriding at much lower temperatures thatn those so far. As a result, it is quite lucky for us to succeed the development of a new Mo-based composite material having remarkably higher strength in comparison with any materials used at present.
For Mo-0.5 and 1.0wt% alloys and pure Mo nitrided in a NH_3 gas at 1100ﾟC which is much lower than 130

0-1500ﾟC in previous works, nitriding behavior, hardness profiles on cross sections of nitrided specimens, and microstructure and crystallographic relationship of fine Ti-nitride particles in the Mo matrix were discussed. Main results are summarized below.
(1) The growth mechanism of the Mo-nitride surface layr was made clear. A maximum hardness was found to reach Hv=1800. Furthermore, the surface layr was found to consist of two different sublayrs : a gamma-Mo_2N sublayr near the specimen surface and a beta-Mo_2N sublayr beneath the gamma-Mo_2N layr. Each sublayr has a different twin. In particular, the formation of a new type of microtwin was found in the beta-Mo_2N sublayr.
(2) In nitrided Mo-Ti alloys an internal nitriding layr having high strength was formed beneath the Mo_2 surface layr. The formation of the internal nitriding layr was not observed in pure Mo. We attained markedly high hardness of Hv=1000, which is twice a maximum hardness of Hv=500 reported in Mo alloys so far. Moreover, we found first in the world that the nitriding at the very low temperature of 1100ﾟC brought the precipitation of nano-scale TiN superfine particles with a thickness of about 0.45nm (=1 unit length of TiN) and a diameter of 2-4nm. The superfine particles formed were found to have a special crystallographic-relationship and to give the great increase in strength. Less
