The melting diagram of cobalt containing up to
3 wt.% C and 40 wt.% Nb was investigated and the liquidus and solidus
projections were determined. Alloys were prepared by arc melting and cast from
the liquid state. No ternary phases were found. The investigated part of the
C–Co–Nb phase diagram contains three isothermal three-phase planes,
corresponding to the following four-phase invariant reactions with
participation of liquid: L ↔ <Co> + NbC + C (1310°С), L ↔ NbC
+ <Co> + Co3Nb (1230°С), L + NbC + Co2Nb ↔ Co3Nb
(1430°С). The eutectic temperature for the quasibinary system Co–NbC was
determined to be 1420±10°C for an optimal niobium to carbon ratio of 9.5 (wt.%)
in the carbide (NbC0.814).
