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 article, high temperature tension and low cycle fatigue experiments of IN718 alloy have been performed in the electro-hydraulic servo system with scanning electron microscope at 455°C.
Abstract: High temperature tension and low cycle fatigue experiments of IN718 alloy have been performed in the electro-hydraulic servo system with scanning electron microscope at 455 °C. Fatigue crack initiation and propagation process are investigated in situ. Results show that the carbide and twin grain are the crack source of the low cycle fatigue of IN718 alloy, and the low cycle fatigue life of the alloy increases with the decrease in grain size.

TL;DR: In this article, density functional theory calculations at 0 K were performed to determine the stabilizing effect of aluminium and of the transition group elements on the stability of the δ-phase and η-phase.
Abstract: To improve the high-temperature capability of 718-type wrought nickel-base superalloys, the -phase () can be stabilized. However, this also reduces the size of the forging window because forging has to be done above the - and below the solvus temperature of the phase that is used to enable fine-grain forging, i.e. the δ-phase of type or the η-phase of -type. Understanding the influence of alloying elements on the formation of these phases is therefore important. In this paper, density functional theory calculations at 0 K are performed to determine the stabilizing effect of aluminium and of the transition group elements on the stability of the δ-phase and η-phase. Most of the transition group elements of 5th and 6th period stabilize the δ-phase, whereas the stabilizing effect on the η-phase is weaker. According to the calculations, Mo, Tc, W, Re, and Os may be expected to stabilize the δ-phase but not the η-phase, whereas Al and Zn strongly stabilize the η-phase. V, Zr, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, Hf, Ta, Ir, Pt, Au, and Hg stabilize both phases. For some elements (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co), magnetic effects in the δ and especially in the η-phase are shown to be significant at the concentrations studied here.

TL;DR: In this paper, an in situ diffraction study on the tensile deformation behavior of the polycrystalline Ni-based superalloy VDM® Alloy 780 at temperatures up to 500 °C performed at the STRESSSPEC neutron diffractometer at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum was presented.
Abstract: Polycrystalline Ni-based superalloys are one of the most frequently used materials for high temperature load-bearing applications due to their superior mechanical strength and chemical resistance. In this paper, we presented an in situ diffraction study on the tensile deformation behavior of the polycrystalline Ni-based superalloy VDM® Alloy 780 at temperatures up to 500 °C performed at the STRESS-SPEC neutron diffractometer at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum. A detailed microstructural investigation was carried out by electron microscopy before and after testing. The results of these studies allowed us to determine the deformation mechanism in the differently orientated grains. It is shown that the deformation behavior, which is mainly dislocation motion and shearing of the γ′-precipitates, does not change at this temperature range. The deformation is strongly anisotropic and depends on the grain orientation. The macroscopic hardening can mainly be attributed to plastic deformation in grains, where the (200) lattice planes were orientated perpendicular to the loading direction. Accordingly, a remaining lattice strain and high dislocation density were detected predominantly in these grains.

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.
