Solidification behavior of Re- and Ru-containing Ni-based singlecrystal superaUoys with thermal and metaUographic analysis

To clarify the solidification behavior of Re- and Ru-containing Ni-based single-crystal superalloys, four experimental alloys with varied contents of Re and Ru were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and metallographic techniques. To obtain the - solvus temperatures, the stepwis...

Summary:To clarify the solidification behavior of Re- and Ru-containing Ni-based single-crystal superalloys, four experimental alloys with varied contents of Re and Ru were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and metallographic techniques. To obtain the - solvus temperatures, the stepwise solution and aging heat treatments were used. DSC analysis shows that Re leads to the increase in freezing range and γ-solvus temperature. On the contrast, Ru only has negligible influence on the freezing range, but leads to the lower γ-solvus temperature. In comparison with Ru, Re leads to more severe segregation and higher eutectic fractions in as-cast microstructures. Furthermore, the castability and phase stability of Ni-based superalloys were analyzed by the results of DSC and metallographic analysis, such as freezing range, critical nucleation temperature, γ-solvus temperature and eutectic fractions. It shows that Re leads to the wider freezing range and lower critical nucleation temperature, indicating the worse castability of Re-con- taining Ni-based single-crystal superalloys.
