Detection and Deformation Mechanism of Non-Metallic Inclusions in FGH96 Alloy Isothermal Forging Disk
According to the defects of powder metallurgy superalloy, especially the influence and damage of inclusions on properties of disk, the deviation between nondestructive testing and metallographic testing of inclusions in FGH96 alloy isothermal forging disk was investigated. Meanwhile, the types and deformation mechanism of inclusions were studied. The results showed that the buried depth tested by metallographic detection was less 67-180μm than nondestructive testing. The size of inclusions with metallographic detection was less about 18-50μm than nondestructive testing. The major types of inclusions in practical disk were Al2O3 and Al2O3-SiO2, the inclusions run through several grains, no matter Al2O3 or Al2O3-SiO2. The Al2O3 inclusion and matrix was purely mechanical bonding, but the Al2O3-SiO2 had reaction zone. There was remarkable effect of extrusion process on crushing and dispersing Al2O3 inclusion, but which was unremarkable for Al2O3-SiO2.
