Precipitation of the δ-Ni 3 Nb phase in two nickel base superalloys

TL;DR: In this article, the precipitation of the metastable δ-Ni3Nb phase has been studied in two niobium bearing nickel base superalloys and the morphology and distribution of precipitates have been examined and the crystallographic orientation relationship between the austenite and the δ phases has been determined.
Abstract: The precipitation of the equilibrium δ-Ni3Nb phase has been studied in two niobium bearing nickel base superalloys—INCONEL 718 and INCONEL* 625—both of which are hardenable by the precipitation of the metastableγ″-Ni3Nb phase. The morphology and the distribution of precipitates have been examined and the crystallographic orientation relationship between the austenite and theδ phases has been determined. The nucleation of theδ phase at stacking faults within pre-existing δ" precipitates has been discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Cozar and Pineau's model was used to predict the precipitation sequence of Alloy 718 microstructure in the case of specimens subjected to standard ageing treatment.
Abstract: Alloy 718 samples aged to precipitate only δ particles (with maximum volume fraction) when tensile deformed to fracture at elevated temperatures revealed precipitation of γ′ and γ″ phases. The γ′ precipitation was found to precede the γ″ phase precipitation unlike in the case of specimens subjected to standard ageing treatment where both the γ′ and the γ″ phases precipitate simultaneously. This sequence is explained on the basis of the relative concentration of Al, Ti and Nb in the matrix of δ precipitated Alloy 718 microstructure. The precipitation sequence was consistent with the Cozar and Pineau's model that predicts such sequences on the basis of (Al + Ti) to Nb atom ratios.

TL;DR: Inconel 718 powders were used as green compacts for pressureless sintering at temperatures of 1200, 1225, and 1250°C for 10, 60, and 180 min this article.
Abstract: The deposition of Inconel 718 powders, by cold spray, was performed on a mild steel substrate. The deposits showed a porosity level lower than 3%, but lacked interparticle bonding, hence strength. To circumvent the problem, the deposits were used as green compacts for pressureless sintering at temperatures of 1200, 1225, and 1250 °C for 10, 60, and 180 min. The grain size, second-phase distribution, micro-hardness, and flexural strength were measured. Upon sintering, the flexural strength and strain increased from 187±41 to 1225±122 MPa, and 0.026±0.022 to 0.183±0.037, respectively. After a conventional aging treatment, a maximal strength of 2303 MPa was obtained. During the sintering treatment, minimal grain growth occurred in the 1200 and 1225 °C trials where the calculated grain growth exponent was n =1/8. However for the sintering trials at 1250 °C, the grain growth exponent was found to be n =1/2. The grain growth was found to be influenced by secondary MC carbides that precipitated during the sintering treatment but dissolved at 1250 °C. The carbides acted as a pinning phase during the sintering treatment, explaining the reduced grain growth for the 1200 °C and 1225 °C conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of theoretical models applicable to concentrated solid solutions is presented, focusing on concentrated solutions because dilute ones can be considered as special cases and because the interesting effects of clustering and ordering are most apparent at high solute concentrations.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter reviews current theoretical models applicable to concentrated solid solutions. It focuses on concentrated solutions because dilute ones can be considered as special cases and because the interesting effects of clustering and ordering are most apparent at high solute concentrations. The extended ranges of solubility are often found in metallic systems, and for this reason most examples selected will refer to metals and alloys, although the models presented are equally applied to off-stoichiometric compounds, metallic or inorganic, and to amorphous solids. The chapter provides description of the state of the order of the system through suitable averaging procedures. It discusses the internal energy of solutions, from both electronic and elastic standpoints. The chapter presents free energy models, such as generalized Bragg- Williams's model, Landau theory, and cluster variation method. These models are applied to the study of phase equilibrium.

TL;DR: In this article, a heat treatment for 706 alloy was developed which effectively optimizes the 1200°F stress-rupture properties of the alloy by precipitation of globular to plate-like Ni3Cb/Ni3Ti at the grain boundaries in conjunction with maintaining a fine as-forged grain structure.
Abstract: Evaluation of a commercial heat treatment for 706 alloy indicated that it resulted in relatively low 1200° F stress rupture ductility. It was determined that this was caused by a solution treatment which dissolved all of the age-hardening phases in the alloy and caused a coarse grain size and supersaturated matrix condition. Based upon extensive fine structure study of the 706 alloy as well as previous experience with 718 alloy and other Fe−Ni-base superalloys, a heat treatment is developed which effectively optimizes the 1200°F stress-rupture properties of the alloy. The key to best properties was found to be the precipitation of globular to plate-like Ni3Cb/Ni3Ti at the grain boundaries in conjunction with maintaining a fine as-forged grain structure.
