Microstructural Stability of a Single Crystal Superalloy DD10 under Stressed and Un-Stressed Thermal Exposure at 980 °C

Abstract

The effects of applied tensile stress on the microstructural stability of a third generation single crystal superalloy DD10 have been investigated under stressed and un-stressed thermal exposure at 980 °C. The results indicated that μ phase precipitated in the dendrite core after both stressed and un-stressed thermal exposure at 980 °C for 450 h. The μ phase formation, γ′ coarsening and rafting processes were promoted by the applied tensile stress. However, the precipitation of μ phase was not sensitive to the magnitude of applied tensile stress. Meanwhile, the applied tensile stress did not affect the type and morphology of the topologically close packed (TCP) phase. It is suggested that the interaction of the applied tensile stress and the misfit stress decreased the lattice misfit between μ phase and γ matrix and promoted the formation of μ phase.

The effects of Ta on the stress rupture properties and microstructural stability of a novel Ni-base superalloy for land-based high temperature applications

“…10c and d). These carbides are similar in morphology to the TCP phases in many SC Ni-base superalloys [31][32][33]. The plate-like morphology of M 6 C in Alloy 3 can be clearly observed by deep etching (Fig.…”

Heat Treated Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of K492M Alloy

“…The level of mechanical property of conventional castings depends of the grain structure and microstructure. The current results indicate that the tensile strength increases and then decrease with the temperature raised from 25ºC to 760ºC, which is beneficial from the strengthening of γ′ phase [14].…”

Directional Solidification Behavior of CMSX-6 Superalloy

“…The single crystal superalloys have been developed from the last several decades, and the second and the third generation single crystal superalloys such as CMSX-4, PWA 1484, N5, CMSX-10, N6 [1][2][3][4][5] have been widely used in the aeronautical industry. Many research works have been carried out for the better properties and further uses of the superalloys [6][7][8][9] .…”
