Aerospace gas turbine disks operate in an environment of relatively high stresses caused by centrifugal forces and elevated temperatures. Because of the strong mechanical requirements and narrow specifications of such parts not only a correct, defect free final geometry is necessary, but also a defined microstructure. Even though the microstructure evolution during thermo-mechanical processing is well studied and understood for superalloys like IN718, the influences cannot easily be described analytically. Thus simulation tools are used to assure process stability and to optimize design parameters to meet the tough requirements in aerospace industries. Microstructure simulation of IN718 (and other materials) is well established at Bohler Schmiedetechnik GmbH & Co KG and appreciated by its customers. The advent of the newly developed nickel-base superalloy ATI Allvac® 718PlusTM led to extensive investigations and the development of an adapted microstructure model by Bohler Schmiedetechnik GmbH & Co KG and its research partners. Aim of this paper is a comparison of the microstructure evolution in IN718 and ATI Allvac® 718PlusTM during the thermo-mechanical treatment of turbine disks. Influences of process temperature, strain and strain rate on the final grain size are discussed by finite element simulations with a coupled grain structure model. Experimental results from trial forgings are compared with the outcome of the microstructure simulations.

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.

Creep processes in MAR-M247 Nickel - Base Superalloy were studied at elevated temperatures. The stress exponents of creep rate n and time to fracture m indicate power-low (dislocation) creep regime and suggest the same controlling mechanism for the creep deformation and fracture. The variation of values of parameter n within the interval of applied stress may indicate changes in the rate-controlling creep deformation mechanism. The possibility of using of Monkman-Grant relationship for creep life prediction was demonstrated.

Abstract The superalloy products formed by multi-pass conventional spinning are widely used in rotary forming parts with complex shapes. As the connection of each forming pass, the attaching-mandrel process has an important influence on forming quality and production efficiency. The hot spinning process is usually adopted in superalloy forming because its poor plasticity in normal temperature, meanwhile, it brings the poor surface quality of the parts and huge energy consumption. For this reason, the cold spinning and the attaching-mandrel process of nickel-base superalloy GH3030 are studied. The combination method of experiment and simulation is used to study the attaching-mandrel process based on one-forward-pass spinning process. The effects of pass pitch and the attaching-mandrel velocity on the tool forces, parts stress field, strain field and wall thickness distribution are analyzed. The microstructure of the part is divided into three layers: outer, middle and inner layer. The grain size of each layer is compared. Then the effect of different pass pitch on the grain structure is clarified. The results show that the reasonable pass pitch and the attaching-mandrel velocity can improve the forming quality and production efficiency. The multi-pass cold spinning process on superalloy GH3030 is feasible. The excessive pass pitch can cause seriously grain elongation, the grain boundaries are blurred, and even cracking.
