Al Additions

This research objective is to study the microstructural modification by Al additions in cast nickel base superalloy, GTD-111 by means of vacuum arc melting process. The Al additions to the alloy were 1, 2 and 3% by weight. After that, all casted specimens were performed with different reheat treatment conditions, which consist of solutioning temperatures of 1125°C, 1145°C, 1165°C, 1185°C and 1205°C, respectively, for 6 hours following with precipitation aging at 845°C for 24 hours. After all reheat treatments, the microstructures were investigated and analyzed by SEM. From all obtained results, it was founded that the specimens with Al additions for 1-2%wt. following with reheat treatment show the decrease in size of γ’ precipitated particles when increasing solutioning temperatures. 3%wt. of Al addition was too high content resulting in already improper microstructural characteristics. However all obtained data of area fractions of precipitate phase were almost the same. Effect of Al addition and solutioning temperature did not provide any significant effect in this case. The mechanical property behavior: hardness was investigated by using Vickers hardness tester. It was found that the hardness all was very similar and increased with higher solutioning temperatures.

This research has an aim to modify and improve the microstructures and hardness property of cast nickel-based superalloy, IN-738 by modified chemical composition of various Al additions as well as different reheat treatment conditions. IN-738 was modified by adding aluminium in 1, 2 and 3% by weight and casting with vacuum arc melting process. Then all casted alloys were performed with 5 different solutioning temperatures of 1125°C, 1145°C, 1165°C, 1185°C and 1205°C for 6 hours and all following with the same precipitation aging temperature of 845°C for 24 hours. The various obtained microstructures of the casting and reheat treatments were observed and investigated by SEM to evaluate the average area fraction and size of γ’ precipitated particles. The mechanical property was evaluated by Vickers hardness. From the obtained results, it was found that fine microstructure, which would be the most appropriate for using at elevated temperature, was obtained by the Al addition with 1%wt. following with solutioning temperature range between 1125°C – 1145°C/6 hours and precipitation aging at 845°C/24 hours. The microstructures received consist of high area fraction of γ’ particles in cubic shape with the proper size. However, the maximum hardness value of 683 HV was obtained from the alloy with 3%wt. Al addition following with solutioning temperature of 1205°C.

The nickel base alloy, grade Hastelloy X was modified by Aluminum and Titanium additions by means of vacuum arc melting process in order to improve microstructural characteristics and oxidation resistance. The arc melted Hastelloy X was added Aluminum and Titanium each for 2%, 4% and 6% by weight. Then all specimens were performed with heat treatment, which consists of solutioning treatment at 1125°C for 24 hours and precipitation aging at temperatures of 760°C, 800°C and 845°C for 24 hours. Both aluminum and titanium additions resulted in network intermetalic phase formation, namely, σ-phase, throughout the matrix. Furthermore, the addition of both elements provided the better oxidation resistance for the alloys.

ABSTRACTSix alloys based on Cr-10Ta-7Si (by at.%) with quaternary additions of 0.5Ag, 5Ti, 1Hf, 3Mo, 3Al, or 3Re (by at.%) substituted for Cr were produced by vacuum arc-melting. The microstructures of the alloys were found to predominantly consist of a eutectic mixture of an A2 Cr-based solid solution and a C14 Cr2Ta Laves phase along with proeutectic Cr2Ta dendrites. Microstructural macro- and micro-scale inhomogeneities were observed in all alloy ingots, which were attributed to the non-equilibrium arc-melting process. The measured lattice parameters of the constituent phases and the elemental partitioning behaviour between the phases have been correlated with the respective covalent atomic radii. The bulk hardnesses of the alloys, along with the hardness of individual phases, have also been reported.

The objective of this research work is to investigate the effect of Aluminum addition in cast nickel base superalloy grade GTD-111 by vacuum arc melting process on microstructural modification and oxidation behavior at elevated temperatures of 900°C and 1000°C. The Al element, basically, could be added in cast nickel base superalloys in proper amount to form precipitated intermetallic phase with nickel atoms as gamma prime phase (γ’, Ni3Al) to increase mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, Al can assist nickel base superalloy to form protective oxide film, Al2O3 for better oxidation resistance at very high temperatures. In this research, all casted samples of GTD-111 with various Al additions for 1, 2 and 3 percent by weight were solutioning treated at 1125°C for 6 hours and following with precipitatation aging at 845°C for 24 hours. The oxidation tests were carried out at temperatures of 900°C and 1000°C up to 110 hours. From all obtained results, it was found that the sample that has the most microstructural stability after long-term heating as simulated working conditions is GTD-111 sample with 2%wt. Al addition. Furthermore, more Al addition had resulted in higher oxidation resistances for both testing temperatures.

Co-based high temperature alloys have been widely used in aeronautics and astronautics industry, because of its high strength at high temperature, excellent resistance of hot corrosion and oxidation. Unlike the traditional Co-based superalloys, strengthened by solution and carbide strengthening, the novel Co-Al-W superalloys are strengthened by a ternary compound with the Ll2 structure γ-Co3(Al,W). And the novel Co-Al-W superalloys showing high-temperature strength greater than those of conventional nickel-base superalloys, will become the candidates for next-generation high-temperature materials. We research alloying element Ta effect on microstructure of Co-Al-W superalloys by vacuum arc melting. Compare with the microstructure before and after adding alloying element Ta of Co-Al-W superalloy, we find that most of Ta element distributed in the γ-Co substrate phase, stabilizing and reinforcement the γ phase.

The nickel-based superalloys, grade GTD-111, were modified by aluminum addition by the mean of vacuum arc melting process, in order to improve microstructure and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. The arc melted GTD-111 specimens were added with aluminum of 1, 2 and 3 wt. %. All specimens were then performed with heat treatment, which consists of solution treatment for 6 h at various temperatures of 1125, 1145, 1165, 1185 and 1205°C. After that, all specimens were followed by precipitation aging at 845°C for 24 h. Finally, to evaluate the microstructural stability, the long-term heating at temperatures of 900 and 1000°C for 400 h were performed to the specimens. It was found that the most proper amount of aluminum addition was 1 wt.%, which provided reheat treated microstructures with high area fractions of γ′-precipitated particles, as well as uniformed distribution of cubic γ′-morphology. The most proper solutioning condition is also found at 1165°C for 6 h.

Recently, the irradiation behaviors of multi-component alloys have stimulated an increasing interest due to their ability to suppress the growth of irradiation defects, though the mostly studied alloys are limited to face centered cubic (fcc) structured multi-component alloys. In this work, two single-phase body centered cubic (bcc) structured multi-component alloys (CrFeV, AlCrFeV) with different lattice distortions were prepared by vacuum arc melting, and the reference of α-Fe was also prepared. After 6 MeV Au ions irradiation to over 100 dpa (displacement per atom) at 500 °C, the bcc structured CrFeV and AlCrFeV exhibited significantly improved irradiation swelling resistance compared to α-Fe, especially AlCrFeV. The AlCrFeV alloy possesses superior swelling resistance, showing no voids compared to α-Fe and CrFeV alloy, and scarce irradiation softening appears in AlCrFeV. Owing to their chemical complexity, it is believed that the multi-component alloys under irradiation have more defect recombination and less damage accumulation. Accordingly, we discuss the origin of irradiation resistance and the Al effect in the studied bcc structured multi-component alloys.
