International audienceThe dynamic recrystallization mechanisms and kinetics of a recently developed γ-γ′ nickel based superalloy are studied at different subsolvus temperatures. Special care is paid to the evolution of γ′ particles and their influence on recrystallization phenomena. An original dynamic recrystallization mechanism is highlighted thanks to the combined use of Energy Dispersive Spectrometry and Electron BackScattered Diffraction mapping techniques. This mechanism leads to the formation of large heteroepitaxial pairs, made of a primary precipitate embedded in a recrystallized grain having the same crystallographic orientation. Recrystallization nuclei arise from inverse precipitation of γ phase at the rim of primary γ′ precipitates, prior to deformation. This heteroepitaxial recrystallization mechanism is reported here for the first time. It controls dynamic microstructure evolution at low strains and is then progressively replaced by the conventional discontinuous necklace recrystallization process at higher strains
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
