Effects of Solution Temperature on Microstructure and Tensile Properties of a Novel Ni-Co-Based Wrought Superalloy
This study examines the microstructure and tensile properties of a novel Ni-Co-based wrought superalloy for turbine disk applications.The alloy was fabricated through triple melting combined with combined rapid forging and radial forging process, and subsequent heat treatment process. Tensile tests were conducted at room temperature, 650 ℃, 750 ℃ and 815 ℃ following solution treatment within the temperature range of 1 090 ℃ to 1 140 ℃ and aging treatment. The results demonstrate that increasing the solution temperature significantly enlarges grain size while simultaneously decreasing both the content and size of primary γ′ precipitates. Conversely, the volume fraction and dimensions of secondary γ′ precipitates exhibit augmentation. The dissolution of grain-boundary primary γ′ phase predominantly contributes to grain coarsening. The solute atoms released from dissolved primary and tertiary γ′ phases facilitate the coarsening of secondary γ′ precipitates. For the experimental alloy, room-temperature tensile fractures predominantly exhibited transgranular failure across different solid-solution temperatures. At 650 ℃, variations in the solid-solution temperature altered the fracture mode, while intergranular fracture dominated at 750 ℃ and 815 ℃. The evolution of grain structure and γ′ precipitates induced by solid-solution treatments significantly affected elevated-temperature tensile properties but had limited influence on room-temperature performance. Inverse yielding occurred across all test temperatures following treatment at 1 130 ℃. The deterioration in high-temperature tensile properties primarily originated from grain boundary weakening.
