The characterization of the microstructure evolution during welding of nickel base superalloys is required for efficient reuse and reclamation of used and failed components. Previous atom probe analysis of electron-beam and laser-beam welds revealed complex alloying elemental partitioning between the γ and γ phases. Rapid cooling conditions in the weld leads to non-equilibrium partitioning and large amplitude Cr and Co levels in the γ phase. These results indicated that there is a strong relationship between weld cooling rate and the precipitation of γ′ precipitates from the γ phase. To understand and develop predictive models, a systematic investigation of the microstructure evolution in CM247DS alloy under controlled thermomechanical conditions are being performed. This paper describes some recent results on the elemental partitioning between γ and γ′ phases obtained with atom probe microanalysis.
