A microstructural study was conducted on 15 cobalt-chromium-nickel alloys of the basic composition 40 Co-30 Ni-30 Cr. The alloys were strengthened by the addition of tantalum and tantalum-rich regions were found at the interdendritic spaces. The increase in Ta concentration caused a decrease in the concentration of the
phase and an increase in the amounts of the
phase. Excessive amounts of Ta resulted in formation of the
phase. The failure of the alloy occurred as a result of the interconnection of
regions.
