“…[153][154][155][156][157] As such, limitations on the amount of c¢ by limiting the Al+Ti to less than six atomic percent have been found to be helpful. [153,158] In addition, adjusting the Ti/Al ratio to be > 2 (weight percent basis), or according to the plot of Figure 14, slows the c¢ kinetics sufficiently to avoid SAC in many cases. [153] Hot cracking can occur in the weld itself and can be characterized as a solidification hot tear, which can be influenced by the alloy, weld contamination, and weld geometry.…”

This paper reviews the status of technology in design and manufacture of new wrought polycrystalline Ni-base superalloys for critical engineering applications. There is a strong motivation to develop new alloys that are capable of operating at higher temperatures to realize improvements in thermal efficiency, which are necessary to achieve environmental targets for reduced emissions of harmful green-house gases. From the aerospace sector, the development of new powder metallurgy and ingot metallurgy alloys is discussed for disk rotor and static applications. New compositions for powder metallurgy contain about 50 to 55 pct of gamma prime (c¢) strengthening precipitates to ensure components operate successfully at temperatures up to 788°C (1450°F). In contrast, new compositions for ingot metallurgy aim to occupy a design space in temperature capability between Alloy 718 and current powder alloys that are in-service, and show levels of c¢ of about 30 to 44 pct. The focus in developing these alloys was design for manufacturability. To complement the aerospace developments, a review of work to understand the suitability of candidate alloys for multiple applications in Advanced-Ultra Supercritical (AUSC) power plants has been undertaken by Detrois, Jablonski, and Hawk from the National Energy Technology Laboratory. In these power plants, steam temperatures are required to reach 700°C to 760°C. The common thread is to develop alloys that demonstrate a combination of high-temperature properties, which are reliant on both the alloy composition and microstructure and can be produced readily at the right price. For the AUSC applications, the emphasis is on high-temperature strength, long-term creep life, phase stability, oxidation resistance, and robust welding for fabrications. Whereas for powder disk rotors in aircraft engines, the priority is enhanced resistance to time-dependent crack growth, phase stability, and resistance to environmental damage, while extending the current strength levels, which are shown by existing alloys, to higher temperatures.
