Although the （γ ＋γ′） is deemed to be formed by a eutectic reaction and has been called eutectic （γ ＋γ′）, it was found in the present study that the （γ ＋γ′） precipitation begins with a peritectic reaction of （L ＋ γ）γ′, and develops by the eutectic reaction of L （γ ＋γ′）. The energy for the γ′ nucleation is low because the interfacial energy for the γ /γ′ interface is about one-tenth of the solid/liquid interface, and hence, the nucleation rate is high and the fine structure of （γ ＋ γ′） is formed at the initial precipitation stage. The γ and γ′ in （γ ＋ γ′） tend to grow into a lamellar structure because it is difficult for them to nucleate directly from the residual liquids, and hence, the γ′ precipitates naturally tend to grow divergently direction of the regions rich in AI and Ti, forming a fan-like structure of the （γ ＋γ′）. As a result, the γ′ precipitates will coarsen finally because the space between them is enlarged. The solidification of the final residual liquids is a diffusion dependent process. When cooled at a higher rate, a higher degree of super cooling is reached and finally the solidification is finished by the pseudo- eutectic reaction of L → （γ ＋ boride） and L→ （γ ＋γ′）, which can absorb Zr and B. When cooled at a rate low enough, most of the residual liquids are consumed by the （γ ＋γ′） growth due to the sufficient diffusion, and the boride and Zr- bearing phase are precipitated at a quasi-equilibrium state. Under this condition, Ti is depleted at the （γ ＋γ′） growth front. However, the η-Ni3Ti phase is formed there occasionally due to the boride precipitation, because the compositions of the two phases are complementary.展开更多

The results showed that, the primary and secondary gamma' particles maintain good thermal stability at 650 and 700 degreesC with aging time up to 3000 h, while the tertiary gamma' is apparently dependent on aging temperature and time. The tertiary gamma' particles undergo a procedure of coarsening, dissolution and eventually complete disappearance with the increasing of aging time and temperature. They exhibit unusual high sensibility upon aging temperature, which is attributed to the lattice misfit between the gamma' precipitates and the matrix in the alloy. The grain boundary phase M23C6 remains stable without forming of sigma phase even with aging time up to 3000 h at 700 degreesC. Microhardness decreases apparently with increasing aging time and aging temperature. Theoretical analysis based on dislocation mechanism indicates that the change of microhardness should be attributed to the evolution of the tertiary gamma' during aging.展开更多

The present study aims to supply the elementary information about the existing form of B and Zr in the as-cast microstructure, which is helpful for the subsequent processing, such as homogenization treatment. The M_3B_2 and Ni_5Zr phases were observed in the U720 Li alloy in as-cast state, which were usually accompanying with each other together with g-Ni_3 Ti phase at the edge of eutectic（γ＋γ＇）. Combining the DTA analysis and heating and quenching tests, the solidification sequence was determined to be the following： c matrix, eutectic（γ＋γ＇）, g-Ni_3Ti, M_3B_2 and Ni_5Zr. The in situ composition analysis by EDS and EPMA revealed that the precipitation and microstructure were governed by the composition evolution in the liquids. The solidification of c matrix increased the Ti concentration in the residual liquids and resulted in the eutectic（γ＋γ＇） formation; the（γ＋γ＇） formation increased the Ti/Al radio in the liquids and the g-Ni_3Ti was formed in front of the eutectic（γ＋γ＇）; the g-Ni_3Ti precipitation consumed up Al and Ti and increased the concentration of B, Mo and Cr, and M_3B_2 boride is formed;the previous precipitation of the phases consumed up most of the elements other than Ni and Zr, and Ni_5Zr is formed finally. The melting points are in the ranges of 1130–1140 °C for Ni_5Zr phase, 1180–1190 °C for M_3B_2 boride and1190–1200 °C for g-Ni_3Ti phase.展开更多
