Figure 3. Thermo-Calc for (a) the nominal composition of the parent alloy, showing phase fraction vs temperature (Note that the predicted phases labelled 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9 were not observed in this work) (b) the composition of M3B2 boride. It predicts the onset of melting of the boride to be about 1200°C (insert black arrow)
