And the influence of the pre-compressive creep on the internal friction stress and creep lifetimes of the superalloy are investigated by means of the measurement of the creep curves and microstructure observation. Results show that, compared to the P-type structure alloy, the full heat treated state alloy displays a bigger internal friction stress value of dislocation motion during steady state creep and a longer creep lifetimes. The creep activation energies of the full heat treated and P-type structures alloys are measured to be 462 kJ/mol and 412 kJ/mol, respectively. Thereinto, the P-type rafted γ′ phase in the alloy is transformed into the N-type structure during tensile creep. And the N-type γ′ phase transformed from the P-type structure displays a shorter size in length, this is a main reason of the P-type structure alloy possessing a shorter creep lifetimes due to creep dislocation moving easily over the rafted γ′ phase.展开更多

In this study, a number of Ni-based vacuum-cast test bars were investigated. The fractures in the broken test bars were observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy （SEM）. Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy （EDS）, as well as Wavelength Dispersive Spectroscopy （WDS） were used to characterize the chemical elements of the fracture＇s surface. Observation by SEM revealed the presence of inclusions identified as films that appeared to have initiated the growth of carbides. This study has added to the evidence that oxide film defects do exist in Ni-based super-alloy in certain vacuum casting conditions. It provides a reference for researchers＇ further study on the defects, and provides a possible direction for researchers to improve casting technology so as to remove these defects.展开更多
