Cr-NbCr2 composite material was prepared by mechanical alloying (MA) + hot pressing. Its microstructure and properties were investigated. The results show that the microstructure of Cr-NbCr2 composite material is homogeneous and the grain size is up to the grade of micron/nano-metre.Moreover, the relative density of the material is 98.3% , compressive strength is 2 044 MPa and plasticity strain is 7.26 %. Compared with Cr-NbCr2 composite material prepared by arc-melting and simple Laves phase NbCr2, its pla...
