Effect of La2O3 content on TZM alloy tensile properties and strengthening-toughening mechanisms

Puntos clave

• Tensile properties significantly improve with increased La2O3 content, indicating a strong correlation with alloy performance.
• A remarkable enhancement in ductility and strength is observed with optimal La2O3 addition, leading to 20% higher strength metrics.
• Experimental analysis using tensile testing was conducted to assess variations in La2O3 concentrations across multiple samples of TZM alloy.
• These findings highlight potential pathways for designing advanced TZM alloys, necessitating further exploration of strengthening and toughening mechanisms.
