In order to identify present phases, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was used on the composite. XRD analysis revealed that the composite was composed of Nb solid solution (Nbss) and α-Nb5Si3 phases. The microstructure of the composite was characterized by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was performed for the micro-analysis of the chemical species. SEM-EDS analyses show that the microstructure of composite consists of Nbss, Nb5Si3 and small volume fraction of Ti-rich Nbss phases. The micro hardness of constituent phases of the composite was found to be as 593±19 and 1408±33 Hv0.1, respectively and its relative density was % 98.54.}, type={Article}, title={Production and Microstructural Characterization of Nb-Si based in-situ Composite}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/116076/PDF/AMM-2020-2-53-Garip.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2020.132839}, keywords={Nb-Si in-situ composite, powder metallurgy, RS, Solid solution strengthening}, }
