Abstract
Primary interest in Laves phases in iron binary systems with transition elementslies in their effects as dispersed precipitates. The characteristics of Laves phases themselves should be made clear before discussing precipitation hardening. Mechanical properties of Laves phases, NbFe 2 , TaFe 2, TiFe 2 , ZrFe 2 and HfFe 2 have been studied by use of a micro Vickers hardness tester. The highest strength (over Hv. 1000) was obtained in NbFe 2, TaFe 2, while the strength of TiFe 2 and ZrFe 2 was comparatively low (Hv. 859).Keywords
