不同气氛对激光熔覆IN718涂层形貌、组织与性能的影响

目的研究不同气氛条件下激光熔覆IN718高温合金涂层的微观偏析。方法利用激光熔覆技术,在不同送粉气和不同保护气条件下制备了IN718高温合金涂层,并对制备的涂层进行双时效热处理。采用光学显微镜观察显微组织结构和特征,采用扫描电镜和能谱仪对涂层组织和相成分进行分析,采用维氏硬度计对涂层热处理前后的硬度进行测定。结果送粉气种类对熔覆层的形貌和组织有一定影响,而保护气种类对熔覆层的形貌和组织影响不明显。与氩气作为送粉气制备的涂层相比,氦气作为送粉气制备的涂层组织更加细密,Laves相的尺寸更小且分布更均匀,Laves相的体积分数由氩气送粉的9.35%减少到氦气送粉的5.25%,并且Laves相中Nb的质量分数由20%下降到16%,涂层硬度由287HV0.2提高到306HV0.2。双时效热处理后,涂层的显微硬度明显提高,氦气作为送粉气制备的涂层硬度为468HV0.2,高于氩气作为送粉气制备的涂层硬度447HV0.2。结论氦气作为送粉气能有效降低激光熔覆IN718涂层的Nb元素偏析,同时细化涂层组织,提高涂层显微硬度。氦气作为保护气对涂层形貌和组织的影响不明显。

采用电弧离子镀技术,在镍基高温合金DZ22B表面沉积一层NiCrAlYSi抗高温氧化涂层。利用SEM、XRD、EDS和电子探针等,分析了涂层的微观形貌、组织结构、物相和元素分布规律。研究了涂层和基体在1050℃的静态空气环境中恒温氧化200 h的氧化动力学规律和抗氧化性能。结果表明:沉积态涂层致密均匀,无孔洞等明显缺陷。经热处理后,涂层发生了β-NiAl向γ'-Ni_3Al的转变,主要物相为γ'-Ni_3Al/γ-Ni、β-NiAl和α-Cr相。恒温氧化200 h后,与基体相比,平均氧化速度由0.096 7g/(m~2·h)降到0.0340g/(m~2·h),显著提高了基体的抗高温氧化性能。氧化初期,涂层表面形成了一层均匀致密的α-Al_2O_3保护层,阻止氧向涂层内部扩散,从而大大提高了抗氧化性能。氧化过程中,涂层与基体的界面处发生了元素互扩散现象;主要为Cr元素从涂层向基体的内扩散和Co、W和Y元素从基体向涂层的外扩散。

Experimental investigation and life prediction of hot corrosion pre‐exposure on low‐cycle fatigue of a directionally solidified nickel‐base superalloy

Low‐cycle fatigue tests were conducted on the directionally solidified nickel‐base superalloy DZ125 at 850 °C in the unexposed and exposed specimens for 2, 15, 25 and 50 h in hot corrosion environment. The pre‐exposed specimen exhibited a lower life than unexposed specimens. Fatigue cracks in the unexposed specimens are initiated from defects near the surface, while the cracks of exposed specimens preferentially occur on the surface. Hot corrosion damage in fatigue life was found to be associated with the reduction of the bearing area. A novel life prediction methodology based on continuum damage mechanics was proposed to predict the experimentally observed decrease in low‐cycle fatigue life with increasing prior exposure time.     

Influence of surface recrystallization on the low cycle fatigue behaviour of a single crystal superalloy

This paper investigated the effect of surface recrystallization (RX) on the low cycle fatigue (LCF) behaviour of a single crystal (SX) superalloy. LCF tests on both raw and recrystallized samples showed that fatigue life was significantly reduced by surface RX. Fractography indicated that fatigue cracks initiated from the casting defects in RX layer and multiple crack initiations were commonly observed. Moreover, RX grains exhibited predominantly transgranular cracking, in contrast to the intergranular fracture reported in literature. The fatigue crack propagation behaviour was discussed in light of fracture mechanics and crack growth life model. The fatigue cycles required to penetrate RX layer were estimated to be about one magnitude lower than that in forming an equivalent crack in SX specimens. It is suggested that the earlier crack initiation and promoted crack propagation in RX layer, as well as the trend of multiple initiations, are responsible for the fatigue degradation by RX.     

A quantitative metallographic assessment of the evolution of porosity during processing and creep in single crystal Ni‐base super alloys

The present work reviews previous research on the evolution of porosity. It presents new results from a detailed study on the evolution of porosity during casting, heat treatment and creep of a single crystal Ni‐base superalloy subjected to uniaxial tensile creep at 1050 °C and 160 MPa in [001] and [110] directions. A quantitative metallographic study was performed on carefully polished metallographic cross sections, monitoring sampling fields of 4500 × 1000 µm² using the back scatter contrast of an analytical scanning electron microscope; evolutions of pore sizes and pore form factors were analyzed and all important details which were previously revealed in a synchrotron study could be reproduced. In addition, it was observed that micro cracks form at larger cast pores. They interlink and thus initiate final rupture. The [110] tensile creep tests showed lower rupture strains than the [001] experiments. In agreement with earlier work, this can be rationalized on the basis of aligned porosity along primary dendrites.     

Effect of strain rate on microstructure evolution of a nickel-based superalloy during hot deformation

The hot deformation behavior of a nickel-based superalloy was investigated by means of isothermal compression tests in the strain rate range of 0.001–10 s⁻¹ at 1110 °C. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique were used to study the effect of strain rate on the microstructure evolution of the alloy during hot deformation. The results revealed that the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) process was stimulated at high strain rates ($\dot{\epsilon }⩾5{\text{s}}^{-1}$) due to the high dislocation density and adiabatic temperature rise. Meanwhile, high nucleation of DRX and low grain growth led to the fine DRX grains. In the strain rate rage of 0.001–1 s⁻¹, the volume fraction of DRX grains increased with the decreasing strain rate, and the grain growth gradually governed the DRX process. Moreover, the strain rate has an important effect on DDRX and CDRX during hot deformation. On the other hand, particular attention was also paid to the evolution of twin boundaries during hot deformation. It was found that there was a lower fraction of Σ3 boundaries at the intermediate strain rate of 1 s⁻¹, while the fractions of Σ3 boundaries were much higher at both the lower strain rates ($\dot{\epsilon }⩽0.1{\text{s}}^{-1}$) and higher strain rates ($\dot{\epsilon }⩾5{\text{s}}^{-1}$).

Microstructure and micro-hardness of the Inconel 718 superalloy coating prepared by cold gas dynamic spraying

Inconel 718 superalloy coating was prepared on a martensitic steel substrate by cold gas dynamic spraying (CGDS).Microstructure and micro-hardness of the coating were characterized by means of scanning electronic microscope (SEM),energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS),and micro-hardness and nano-indentation tests.The results have indicated that the coating’s thickness can reach more than 300 μm,and there exists a good interfacial cohesion between the coating and the substrate.The quantity and size of the defects at the bottom,middle and top areas increase gradually.There is no significant change to the original microstructure of the Inconel 718 superalloy particle after the process of CGDS;and an obvious torsional deformation on the particle’s profile is produced while little deformation at the center part occurs.The micro-hardness of the coating at the bottom,middle and top areas decreases in turn.Compared with the bottom area,the micro-hardness of the middle and top areas decreases by about 10% and 21%,respectively.The nano-hardness of the coating is much lower than the original particle,which decreases by about 13.5% at the bottom area and 28% at the top area,respectively.The distribution of micro-defects is an important factor to the micro-hardness of the coating.
