Influence of Melt Superheating Treatment on Solidification Characteristics and Rupture Life of a Third-Generation Ni-Based Single-Crystal Superalloy

The microstructure of a third generation single crystal superalloy DD10 with 0°~15° grain boundary and stress rupture property at 980°C/280MPa and 1100°C/140MPa have been studied and compared in the present investigation. The results showed that the primary dendritic stems at either side of low angle boundary indicated angular differences as compared with structure of principal [001] crystal. After thermal treatment, the grain boundary changed from irregular chain structure of γ’ and γ to flat and thin γ layer. Under the condition of 980°C/280MPaand 1100°C/140MPa, stress rupture life of the DD10 alloy with 7° low angle boundary decreased little compared with [001] crystal. The rupture was non-intergranular fracture. The 9° low angle boundary did not have a remarkable effect on stress rupture property of the DD10 alloy.

Calculation Results

In order to optimize the Ta content of a newly developed 3rd generation Ni3Al-based single crystal superalloy, a series of alloys with the varying of Ta content of 3.0, 4.2, 4.5, 6.0wt. % were prepared. The experimental results showed that with the addition of Ta, the size and volume fraction of bulky γ' phase significantly increased while the primary dendrite arm spacing decreased. Meanwhile, the difficulty of solution treatment significantly increased with increasing Ta content. And the thermodynamic calculation results showed that the volume fractions of γ' phase in this series of alloys were significantly higher than those of typical Ni based single crystal superalloys, indicating that the 3rd generation Ni3Al based single crystal superalloys can serve in the temperature of 1150oC to 1200oC.

Rupture Properties

This work assesses the effects of the surface recrystallization of the processing of water grit blasting, grit blasting and mechanically polishing on the microstructures and creep rupture properties of DD6 alloy, a low-cost second generation single crystal superalloy. The results demonstrate that the possibility and the depth of the surface recrystallization of DD6 show an increase as the annealing temperature increases from 1050°C to 1250°C. No surface recrystallization happens when the specimens of the alloy have been undergone at 1100°C for 4 hours after water grit blasting, but the surface recrystallization occurs at the annealing temperature above 1200°C for 4 hours after water grit blasting. The test indicates that the increasing pre-deformation decreases the surface recrystallization temperature. The creep rupture life of DD6 alloy without processing is 274.4 hours, 341.1 hours at the conditions of 980°C/250MPa, 1070°C/140MPa respectively. After annealing at 1100°C for 4 hours, the creep rupture life of the alloy with the processing of water grit blasting is equivalent to that of the alloy without processing. The surface recrystallization of the alloy happens with the processing of grit blasting after the annealing at 1100°C for 4 hours, and there is a reduction of the creep rupture life at the conditions as mentioned above. The creep properties of DD6 alloy meet the needs of blades and vanes of single crystal for advanced aeroengines when the surface recrystallization of the alloy occurs during manufacturing and processing.
