Thanks Metaljon,
We experienced brittle fracture during processing and on analyzing the fracture face on the SEM found La rich areas particularly on grain boundaries with La anywhere from 2 to 16% using EDX. We have also seen a phase which appears to be ~30% La and ~62% Ni. I've read some...
Has anyone any experience with what phases/precipitates should generally be observed in wrought and solution treated alloy 230? We have found grain boundary films which are high in Lanthanum.
