| Abstract: | A novel nickel-based powder metallurgy superalloy was processed using two different thermal–mechanical processes, including hot isostatic pressed (As-HIP) and hipped + hot extruded + isothermally-forged (IF) heat treatments following two processed alloys, designated as As-HIP-HT and IF-HT. The objective of this study is to investigate the microstructure and mechanical property evolution in a nickel-based powder disk alloy fabricated by two processes. The findings revealed that both As-HIP and IF alloys underwent substantial recrystallization, with grains in the IF alloy being finer. Notable Prior Particle Boundaries (PPBs) were identified in the As-HIP samples. The IF-HT alloy exhibited a larger grain size due to a greater amount of stored energy. Significant differences in the secondary γ′ precipitates were observed between the two processes. More uniform substructures in the IF-HT alloy led to a higher density of finer γ′ precipitates. At temperatures of 704 °C and 760 °C, the As-HIP-HT alloy displayed a higher yield strength, but its plasticity significantly declined as temperature increased, while the IF-HT alloy showed a relatively stable plasticity. The presence of PPBs in the As-HIP-HT alloy minimally affected the alloy's strength but reduced its plasticity. The creep property of the two processes was compared at 800 °C/330 MPa; the IF-HT alloy demonstrated lower creep rates and a longer creep life, which was attributed to its finer γ′ precipitates. Dominant creep deformation mechanisms in the As-HIP-HT alloy included Orowan dislocation loops and deformation twinning, while the primary mechanisms in the IF-HT alloy involved dislocation cutting through γ′ precipitates, dislocation slip, and micro-twins. These findings support the use of isostatic pressing + hot extrusion+ isothermally-forging process for critical high-temperature components. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
