The effects of bonding temperature（1130–1170 °C） and time（5–120 min） as well as foil thickness（35–140 μm） were studied on the microstructure of joint region and its mechanical properties. The solidification sequence in the joint region was found to be（i） formation of γ solid solution in the isothermally solidified zone, followed by（ii） ternary eutectic of γ ＋ Ni3 B ＋ Cr B, and finally（iii） binary eutectic of γ ＋ Ni3 Si in the athermally solidified zone. Fine Ni3 Si particles were also formed via a solid state transformation within the γ matrix in the vicinity of eutectic products. A deviation of isothermal solidification kinetics from the standard parabolic TLP model was observed by increasing the bonding temperature to 1170 °C, which resulted in the formation of eutectic constituents at the joint centerline.The analysis of mechanical and fractographic test results revealed that the samples with complete isothermal solidification exhibit the highest shear strength, whereas the hard eutectic constituents act as preferential failure sites and lead to a significant reduction in the joint shear strength in samples with incomplete isothermal solidification.展开更多

In the present paper, the validity of the extended model is discussed further on the basis of nonproportional experiments of IN738LC at 850 such as multiaxial ratchetting, multiaxial cyclic stress relaxation, circular cyclic straining with strain hold, and so on. Predictions based on the OhnoWang model as well as the ArmstrongFrederick model are also given for the sake of comparison. It is shown that the extended model is capable of simulating the nonproportional experiments accurately, and especially that the extended model can predict much less steadystate ratchetting than the ArmstrongFrederick model. It is also shown that the extended model provides almost the same predictions as the OhnoWang and th展开更多

In this investigation, aluminide coatings were modified by titanium and the microstructural feature and formation mechanism were evaluated. The coatings were formed on a Ni-based superalloy(IN738LC) by a two stage process including titanizing at first and aluminizing thereafter. Pack cementation titanizing performed at temperatures 950° C and 1050° C in several mixtures of Ti, A12O3 and NH^Cl. At the second stage, aluminum diffused into surface of the specimens by an industrial aluminizing process known as Elcoatl01(4 hrs at 1050° C). The modified coatings were characterized by means of standard optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-Ray diffraction methods. The results show that Ti in the coatings is mainly present in the form of TiNi and Al67Cr8Ti25. Titanium modified coatings grew with a mechanism similar to simple aluminizing; this includes inward diffusion of Al from the pack to the substrate and then outward diffusion of Ni from the substrate to the coating. The advantages and characteristics of this two-stage modified coating is discussed and the process parameters are proposed to obtain a coating of optimum microstructure.展开更多
