Weldability of single-crystal and directionally solidified Ni-base alloys is important for repairwelding of failed components. During welding, phase decomposition and subsequent microstructure development may occur under non-equilibrium conditions. The final microstructure and phase composition of γ and γ' phases in these welds control the weld properties. Previous work used atom-probe field-ion microscopy (APFIM) for characterizing commercial single-crystal alloys. This work summarizes the microstructural development in PWA-1480 [Ni - 11.5 at. % Cr - 11.0% A1 - 5.1% Co - 1.3% W - 1.9% Ti - 4.0% Ta] electron beam (EB) welds and CMSX-4 [Ni - 7.5 at. % Cr - 12.7% A1 - 9.9% Co - 0.38% Mo -2.1% W - 1.3% Ti - 2.2% Ta - 0.95% Re - 0.034% Hf| pulsed laser (PL) welds.In both PL and EB welds, a dendritic mode of weld solidification was observed.

AbstractAn atom probe field ion microscopy and transmission electron microscopy characterization has been performed on the intragranular precipitates that are formed in a niobium-modified nickel-base superalloy 718 after the various stages of a multistage heat treatment. Atom probe results indicate that there is a wide variation in the compositions of the DO22-ordered γ″, the Ll2-ordered γ′ precipitates and the γ matrix with heat treatment and with position in the microstructure.
