TLDR
In this paper, the influence of master alloy on the cleanliness of spray formed superalloy was investigated by means of electron beam (EB) button melting and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), on the basis of optimized process of spray forming and EB button melting.Abstract:
Three kinds of master alloys, including scrap material, vacuum induction melting (VIM) ingot and electro slag remelting (ESR) ingot, were spray formed into different billets. The influence of master alloy on the cleanliness of spray formed superalloy was investigated by means of electron beam (EB) button melting and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), on the basis of optimized process of spray forming and EB button melting. The results show that the inclusions in spray formed preform are mainly composed of alumina and magnesia, stem from master alloy and some refractory materials in the process of remelting. The cleaner the master alloy, the lower level of inclusion contents of the billet. Among three kinds of master alloys, the ESR ingot exhibit the cleanest melt surface in the process of re-melting and contains much smaller inclusions in EB button. The cleanliness of spray formed billet is better than ingot stack for deposition. Superclean sprayforming billet with smaller size inclusions (<100μm) can be attained by the ESR ingots.read more
