Taking nickel-based single crystal superalloy DD6 as the research object, different degrees of creep damage were prefabricated by creep interruption tests, and then the creep damage was repaired by the restoration heat treatment system of solid solution heat treatment and two-stage aging heat treatment. The results show that with the creep time increasing, the alloy underwent microstructure evolution including γ′ phase coarsening, N-type rafting and de-rafting. After the restoration heat treatment, the coarse rafted γ′ phase of creep damaged specimens dissolved, precipitated, grew up, and became cubic again. Except for the specimens with creep interruption of 100 h, the γ′ phase can basically achieve the same arrangement as the γ′ phase of the original sample. The comparison of the secondary creep test shows that the steady-state creep stage of the test piece after the restoration heat treatment is relatively increased, and the total creep life can reach the same level as the primary creep life. The high temperature creep properties of the tested alloy are basically recovered, and the restoration heat treatment effect is good.

AbstractThe effect of specimen thickness on the creep response of Ni-based single-crystal superalloy DD6 was investigated. With the thickness of 0.3 mm, 0.6 mm and 1.2 mm, a series of thin-wall specimens were tested in this paper respectively at 760℃, 980℃ and 1,100℃. Under the conditions of lower temperatures and higher stresses, the creep life of thin-wall specimens increases with the increase of δ, but it is almost equal under higher temperatures and lower stresses conditions. Compared with the standard specimens, an obvious reduction (about 60%) of creep life of the thin-wall specimens was found at 760℃, whereas it is almost the same at 980℃ and 1,100℃. Therefore, obvious thickness effect is prone to lower temperature and higher stress. The thickness effect is a comprehensive effect, which is caused by fracture mode, the degree of necking, the shape and quantity of creep cavities, oxide thickness, etc. Under each condition, an increased thickness resulted in increased creep strain to rupture.

Three unusual Ru-rich phases have been identified in a multicomponent Ni-base single crystal superalloy, including a L21 Ru2AlTa Heusler phase, a B2 RuAl phase and a hcp Re(Ru)-rich δ phase. These phases have their own preferential precipitation location within the dendritic structure. No conventional topologically-close-packed (TCP) phases have been observed with thermal exposure at 950oC for 1500 hours.
