EFFECT OF P, S AND Si ON THE SOLIDIFICATION,SEGREGATION, MICROSTRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES IN Fe-Ni BASE SUPERALLOYS

The effects of the trace elements, P, S and Si,on the solidification, segregation,microstructure and mechanical properties of GH761 and In718 alloys were studied.It was found that the segregation of the P,S and Si can be greatly aggravated or relieved by the precipitation taking place during the solidification. In the heat treated state,P enhances the intergranular precipitation in the GH761 alloy.The refinement of P in In718 alloy causes the appearance of a film-like δphase.Si increases the intergranular precipitation of the M_6C and the Laves Phase in the In718 alloy.P, S and Si play diverse roles in the tensile and the stress rupture properties of the GH761 and In718 alloys. The most striking effect is that P significantly prolongs the stress rupture lives of the GH761 and In718 alloys in a wide range of 0.00050.015 wt% .The mechanisms by which P,S and Si influence the superalloys are discussed in the text.
