This article presents the results of investigation of the influence of holding temperature during the quenching process on the microstructure and superplasticity of the Co-Ni-Nb alloy. Temperature-strain rate intervals of the deformation of the superplasticity effects are stated. The optimal regimes of the preliminary treatment by quenching and rolling as well as the routine of the superplastic deformation of the Co-Ni-Nb alloy are defined. The interval of the temperatures of the precipitation, morphology, composition, type and parameters of the lattice of the secondary phase, which appears after the annealing + rolling (to 90%) Co-Ni-Nb alloy, are determined.
The formation of the Co-Ni-Nb alloy structure under superplastic deformation and phase composition is studied in the article. Investigations of the changes in the true stresses during superplastic deformation in the optimal mode of the dispersion-hardening alloy on a cobalt–nickel-niobium basis are carried out. The structure change at various degrees of deformation is studied. The features of structural transformations under superplastic deformation are analyzed. The evolution of the secondary phase and the change in the chemical and phase composition are considered as a result of the motion of the shear transformation zone.
