| Abstract: | Aero-engines can be exposed to One Engine Inoperative (OEI) conditions during service, and the resulting overheating effect may significantly impact their structural integrity and flight safety. This paper focuses on the influence of overheating on the microstructural evolution and tensile properties of the GH4720Li alloy, a nickel-based polycrystalline superalloy commonly used in turbine disks. Based on the typical OEI operating conditions of a real aero-engine, a series of non-isothermal high-temperature tensile tests involving an OEI stage of 800 °C were conducted. The effects of OEI-induced overheating on the microstructure and tensile properties of the GH4720Li alloy were investigated. The results showed that, after OEI treatment, the primary γ′ phase in this alloy was partially dissolved. The GH4720Li superalloy also exhibited numerous microcracks at the grain boundaries, resulting in complex effects on its tensile properties. The alloy's yield strength and ultimate tensile strength were slightly decreased, whereas its ductility decreased considerably. The OEI-induced embrittlement phenomenon was mainly caused by the non-uniform distribution of the tertiary γ′ phase within grains. The formation of microcracks nucleated at the interfaces between the primary γ′ precipitates and γ matrix phase was another key factor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
