Book Description
Nickel-based superalloys, an alloy system bases on nickel as the matrix element with the addition of up to 10 more alloying elements including chromium, aluminum, cobalt, tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, and so on. Through the development and improvement of nickel-based superalloys in the past century, they are well proved to show excellent performance at the elevated service temperature. Owing to the combination of extraordinary high-temperature mechanical properties, such as monotonic and cyclic deformation resistance, fatigue crack propagation resistance; and high-temperature chemical properties, such as corrosion and oxidation resistance, phase stability, nickel-based superalloys are widely used in the critical hot-section components in aerospace and energy generation industries. The success of nickel-based superalloy systems attributes to both the well-tailored microstructures with the assistance of carefully doped alloying elements, and the intently developed manufacturing processes. The microstructure of the modern nickel-based superalloys consists of a two-phase configuration: the intermetallic precipitates (Ni,Co)3(Al,Ti,Ta) known as γ′ phase dispersed into the austenite γ matrix, which is firstly introduced in the 1940s. The recently developed additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, acting as the disruptive manufacturing process, offers a new avenue for producing the nickel-based superalloy components with complicated geometries. However, γ′ strengthened nickel-based superalloys always suffer from the micro-cracking during the AM process, which is barely eliminated by the process optimization. On this basis, the new compositions of γ′ strengthened nickel-based superalloy adapted to the AM process are of great interest and significance. This study sought to design novel γ′ strengthened nickel-based superalloys readily for AM process with limited cracking susceptibility, based on the understanding of the cracking mechanisms. A two-parameter model is developed to predict the additive manufacturability for any given composition of a nickel-based superalloy. One materials index is derived from the comparison of the deformation-resistant capacity between dendritic and interdendritic regions, while another index is derived from the difference of heat resistant capacity of these two spaces. By plotting the additive manufacturability diagram, the superalloys family can be categorized into the easy-to-weld, fairly-weldable, and non-weldable regime with the good agreement of the existed knowledge. To design a novel superalloy, a Cr-Co-Mo-W-Al-Ti-Ta-Nb-Fe-Ni alloy family is proposed containing 921,600 composition recipes in total. Through the examination of additive manufacturability, undesired phase formation propensity, and the precipitation fraction, one composition of superalloy, MAD542, out of the 921,600 candidates is selected. Validation of additive manufacturability of MAD542 is carried out by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). By optimizing the LPBF process parameters, the crack-free MAD542 part is achieved. In addition, the MAD542 superalloy shows great resistance to the post-processing treatment-induced cracking. During the post-processing treatment, extensive annealing twins are promoted to achieve the recrystallization microstructure, ensuring the rapid reduction of stored energy. After ageing treatment, up to 60-65% volume fraction of γ′ precipitates are developed, indicating the huge potential of γ′ formation. Examined by the high-temperature slow strain rate tensile and constant loading creep testing, the MAD542 superalloy shows superior strength than the LPBF processed and hot isostatic pressed plus heat-treated IN738LC superalloy. While the low ductility of MAD542 is existed, which is expected to be improved by modifying the post-processing treatment scenarios and by the adjusting building direction in the following stages of the Ph.D. research. MAD542 superalloy so far shows both good additive manufacturability and mechanical potentials. Additionally, the results in this study will contribute to a novel paradigm for alloy design and encourage more γ′-strengthened nickel-based superalloys tailored for AM processes in the future.

Microstructural Evolution and Deformation Mechanisms in Nickel-base Super Alloys

Book Description
Nickel-base superalloys are used at high temperature applications in aerospace and power generation. The objective of present work is to gain a better understanding of microstructural evolution and deformation mechanisms in Nickel-base superalloys. The microstructure of the Nickel base superalloy is basically composed of gamma matrix with eta, delta, gamma prime or gamma double prime/or both, carbides and nitrides. Cold working of IN 718 and Waspaloy to 50% reduction led to an increase in hardness. This hardening was related to the continuous increase in dislocation density in both alloys. Cold working of IN 718 to levels of 10% and higher also led to shearing of the gamma double prime precipitates present initially, leading to their dissolution and the redistribution of the alloying elements into the matrix. Shot peening of both alloys introduces near surface compressive residual stresses and a significant increase in the surface and near-surface hardness to a distance of ~200-400 [mu]m in both alloys. Shot peening of both alloys followed by aging at 900°C quickly led to a large drop in hardness to near that of the bulk material. Aging shot peened the IN 718 at 700°C led to an increase in the hardness throughout the sample. Microstructural characterization revealed that this hardening is related to the formation of new precipitates of gamma prime or gamma double prime or both within the gamma matrix. Aging shot peened Waspaloy at 700°C led to an increase or decrease at near surface region at short time, depending on the Almen intensity. Microstructural characterization shows that these changes are related to partial reduction in % cold work by recrystallization and/or new gamma prime precipitation, depending on the Almen intensity. The hardening, microstructural evolution and stress rupture behavior of IN 740 were studied. Aging of the IN 740 alloy led to significant hardening due to the gamma prime precipitation. The gamma prime coarsening in aged and tensile tested and stress rupture tested IN740 alloy was observed to follow the LSW theory. Gamma prime coarsening was promoted by the applied stress and accelerated between 750 and 800°C. Applied stress was also found to significantly enhance the eta phase formation. Various models for strengthening in Ni-base superalloys were considered and their contributions to strength following aging were calculated utilizing the experimentally measured gamma prime sizes and volume fractions. Good agreement between the calculated and experimentally measured yield strengths was obtained. Based on these calculations and characterization of the deformation microstructure in the aged and tensile-tested samples, it was concluded that apart from solid solution strengthening, the main strengthening contributions from the gamma prime precipitates is associated with precipitate shearing involving either weak pair dislocation coupling or strong pair dislocation coupling/ or both at 700°C for 100h, strong pair dislocation coupling following aging at 700°C for 1000, 3000h and 750°C for 100, 1000h, strong pair coupling or Orowan process/or both following aging at 750°C for 3000h and 800°C for 100h, and mainly Orowan process following aging at 800°C for 1000 and 3000h.
