文摘The mechanical properties and oxidation resistance of two nickel-based superalloys with and without oxide dispersion strengthened(ODS)phases at different temperatures were studied.The microstructure was investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD),and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The results show that the yield strength of the samples with and without ODS phases at room temperature is 1020 and 324 MPa,respectively.The yield strength model was constructed,and it is found that the contribution of grain boundary strengthening,dislocation strengthening and nanoparticle strengthening of nickel-based ODS superalloy exceeds 83%.As the temperature increases,grain boundary sliding and migration decrease the strength of sample but improve its ductility.Oxidation hinders the ductility of sample and intensifies its fracture,and the maximum elongation of nickel-based ODS superalloy at 800℃ is 47.3%.
文摘For nickel-based superalloys with medium volume-fractionγʹphase(20%-40%),dual or multi-stage aging treatments are usually conducted to generate a microstructure containing the multimodal distri-bution ofγʹfor a balance of strength and plasticity.In the present study,the microstructure and high-temperature properties of a novel cast nickel-based superalloy K4800 were investigated after being sub-jected to three heat treatments(HT)procedures,namely HT1:1180℃/4 h+1090℃/2 h+800℃/16 h,HT2:1180℃/4 h+1060℃/2 h+800℃/16 h and HT3:1180℃/4 h+800℃/16 h.It was found that the sub-solvus aging treatments at 1090 and 1060℃ precipitated sub-micron-sized(∼300 nm)primaryγʹphase which enhanced the ductility during 800℃ tensile(the total elongation of T1,T2,and T3 sam-ples were 6.75%,7.3%,and 3.25%,respectively)without evidently impairing the strength.After careful microstructure observation and deformation mechanism analysis,the enhancement of elongation was ra-tionalized that the precipitation of the sub-micron-sized primaryγʹphase decreased the volume-fraction and size of the nanometer-sizedγʹphase which was precipitated at 800℃,and simultaneously,pro-moted the dislocation movement by suppressing the non-planar slip.However,an excessive amount of the sub-micron-sized primaryγʹphase led to a faster ripening process of the nanometer-sizedγʹduring creep,which decreased the creep life at 800℃/430 MPa(T1:125 h,T2:199 h,and T3:198 h).Based on this,we monitored the number density of nanometer-sizedγʹphase coexisting with different amounts of largeγʹduring creep.An area fraction less than 7%of the sub-micron-sizedγʹphase was considered to have little detrimental effect on the creep life of K4800 alloy,which corresponded to a sub-solvus temperature range about 1080-1090℃.

文摘The undeformed chip thickness and grinding force are key parameters for revealing the material removal mechanism in the grinding process.However,they are difficult to be well expressed due to the ununiformed protrusion height and random position distribution of abrasive grains on the abrasive wheel surface.This study investigated the distribution of undeformed chip thickness and grinding force considering the non-uniform characteristics of abrasive wheel in the grinding of K4002 nickel-based superalloy.First,a novel grinding force model was established through a kinematic-geometric analysis and a grain-workpiece contact analysis.Then,a series of grinding experiments were conducted for verifying the model.The results indicate that the distribution of undeformed chip thickness is highly consistent with the Gaussian distribution formula.The increase in the grinding depth mainly leads to an increase in the average value of Gaussian distribution.On the contrary,the increase in the workpiece infeed speed or the decrease in the grinding speed mainly increases the standard deviation of Gaussian distribution.The average and maximum errors of the grinding force model are 4.9%and 14.6%respectively,indicating that the model is of high predication accuracy.

文摘A new type of nickel-based single-crystal superalloy was subjected to creep performance test,microstructure observation,and composition analysis under the condition of 1100℃/140 MPa.The variation characteristics of the creep rate during the creep fracture process and the microstructure evolution before and after creep were investigated,thereby revealing the creep fracture mechanism of the new nickel-based single-crystal superalloy.The results indicate that the creep life of the alloy is 104.5 h,and the strain can reach 33.58%.The creep rate decreases first,then increases,and finally tends to be stable until fracture.At the initial stage of creep,the creep rate decreases first,then rises and finally decreases again with time.Furthermore,the creep fracture microstructure is composed of dimples and tearing edges without obvious slip planes.Oxides and recrystallized structures exist inside the fracture surface,and the voids inside the fracture are elongated and perpendicular to the stress axis,showing a fracture mechanism of microcrack accumulation.

文摘The high-entropy alloy composite coatings AlCu_(2)Ti(NiCr)_(2)-(WC)_(x)(x denotes powder feeding speeds,including 0,25,50,and 75 r/min)were prepared by plasma cladding using a hybrid mode of AlCu_(2)(NiCr)_(2)Ti cable-type welding wire(CWW)and tungsten carbide(WC)powder.The effect of WC powder feeding speed on the microstructure,hardness,and wear properties of the prepared coatings was investigated.The results show that the coatings consist of body-centered cubic main phases and face-centered cubic secondary phases,with carbide reinforcement phases formed due to the addition of WC.The hardness and wear resistance of the coatings are significantly improved compared to the TC11 substrate.When WC powder feeding speed is set at 50 r/min,the coating exhibits optimal wear resistance,with a minimum volume wear rate of 8.5869×10^(-6)mm^(3)·N^(-1)·m^(-1),greatly improving the wear properties of TC11 surface.The coincident CWW-powder plasma cladding provides a viable method for the preparation of highentropy alloy composite coatings with enhanced wear resistance.
文摘Aseries of [(Fe_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Ni_(0.2))_(0.75-0.03x)B_(0.2)Si_(0.05+0.03x)]_(96)Nb_(4) amorphous alloy composite coatings were prepared by adjusting the silicon content(x=0,1,2,3,4,5,and 6)and their microstructures and tribological properties were investigated by laser cladding technique.Additionally,the effect of Si on the glass forming ability(GFA)of the layers was understood.Results show that an appropriate Si content can refine the microstructure of the FeCoNiBSiNb laser cladding layers and improve the mechanical and tribological properties.The hardness of the coating layer increases monotonically with the Si content.At the Si content of 4.8at%(x=0),the coating layer exhibits a relatively low hardness(734.2HV 0.1).Conversely,at the silicon content of 13.44at%(x=3),the coating layer exhibits the highest hardness(1106HV 0.1).The non-crystalline content and tensile strength exhibit an initial increase,followed by a subsequent decrease.At x=2,the coating exhibits its maximum fracture strength(2880 MPa).However,when x>2,the fracture strength of the coating decreases with an increase in x.Conversely,with an increase in Si content,the wear volume loss initially decreases and then increases.At a Si content of 10.56at%(x=2),the coating exhibits the highest non-crystalline content(42%),the highest tensile strength(2880 MPa),and the most favorable dry friction performance.
文摘The failure of mechanical components is mainly caused by three key mechanisms:wear,corrosion,and fatigue.Among these failure modes,wear of mechanical components notably increases energy consumption and leads to substantial economic losses.Fe-Cr-C-B-Ti-Y wear-resistant cladding metals were prepared by the plasma cladding method.The wear performance of the cladding metals was analyzed using an MLS-23 rubber wheel wet sand wear tester.X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscope,electron backscatter diffraction,and transmission electron microscope were employed to investigate the phase composition and microstructure of the cladding metals,followed by a discussion of their strengthening and wear mechanisms.The results indicate that the microstructure of Fe-Cr-C-B-Ti-Y cladding metals is composed of austeniteγ-Fe,M_(23)(C,B)_(6)eutectic carbide,and TiC hard phase.As the Y_(2)O_(3)content increases,the hardness and wear resistance of the cladding metal show a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.When the Y_(2)O_(3)content is 0.4wt%,the precipitation of TiC hard phase and M_(23)(C,B)_(6)-type eutectic carbides reaches maximum,and the grain size is the finest.The cladding metal exhibits optimal formability,featuring the smallest wetting angle of 52.2°.Under this condition,the Rockwell hardness value of the cladding metal is 89.7 HRC,and the wear mass loss is 0.27 g.The dominant wear mechanism of cladding metals is abrasive wear,and the material removal process involves micro-cutting and plowing.

文摘In order to enhance the wear resistance of 45 steel,a WC/Stellite 6 composite layer with 30%WC which with different morphologies(spherical and irregular)was prepared on the surface of 45 steel by laser cladding technology.The effects of WC morphology on the phase composition,microstructure,microhardness,and wear resistance of the cladding layer were compared and analyzed.The res-ults show that the surface of the cladding layer was well formed.M_(23)C_(6),M_(7)C_(3),WC,and W_(2)C exist in both cladding layers.With the ad-dition of spherical WC,the diffraction peaks of γ-Co appear on the left side of the main peak of Co6W6C.The area of intergranular carbides accounts for a large proportion in the surface layer which with the fine grains.During the process of laser cladding the spherical WC particles with loose structure are prone to melting,including their interior.However,the melting amount of irregular WC particles is finite,which only occurs on the periphery of the particles,and the particle interior is relatively intact.The microhard-ness of two cladding layers gradient increases from the substrate to the surface layer.The surface layer added spherical WC has high-er microhardness,which reaches 790.6 HV1.Nevertheless,the wear resistance of the cladding layer added irregular WC is better than that of the cladding layer added spherical WC.The reason is because that the incompletely melted irregular WC particles are uni-formly distributed in the cladding layer which provided the support points for the cladding layer matrix during the wear process,the wear of the cladding layer by the grinding pair is reduced consequently.

文摘Quantifying the residual stress at micron-scale is crucial for comprehending the trans-and inter-granular deformation mechanisms and the influence of heat treatment,but remains technically challenging.This study utilized focused ion beam and digital image correlation(FIB-DIC)techniques to assess residual stress within the dendrite stem and arm of nickel-based single-crystal superalloys.The influence of hot isostatic pressing(HIP)on the microstructure and residual stress was also elucidated.Our results revealed that the residual stresses in the dendrite stem and arm regions manifest as tensile stress along the x-axis and compressive stress along the y-axis,with a range of−720 MPa to 680 MPa.HIP treatment effectively improved microstructure and regulated residual stress in nickel-based single-crystal superalloys,leading to a rapid reduction in residual stress levels.The present study lays a solid theoretical groundwork for optimizing processing strategies to regulate residual stress and enhance mechanical properties in next-generation single-crystal superalloys.

文摘The effects of the Laves-decorated dendrite structure on the hydrogen-assisted cracking behavior of the SLM-718 alloy were investigated.The Laves phase exhibits a hydrogen desorption activation energy of 47.67±7.85 kJ mol^(-1).The results of in situ scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy and hydrogen microprint technique provide direct evidence of the hydrogen trapping by the Laves phase.The high-density dendrite walls consisting of entangled dislocations exhibit an inhibitory effect on hydrogen diffusion.Atomic-scale characterization reveals that dislocation stacking at the Laves/γ-matrix interface induces the formation of dislocation defects and a high-stress concentration in the Laves phase.The presence of hydrogen further promotes the formation of micropore defects and the embrittlement of the Laves phase.Hydrogen-promoted dislocation slip localization and hydrogen-induced reduction of interatomic bonding are the primary reasons for the Laves phase fracture and debonding at the Laves/γ-matrix interface.The coalescence of micropore defects ultimately leads to hydrogen-induced crack formation.

文摘Conventional Fe-C alloy parts used in mechanical transmission and braking systems exposed to the external environment often suffer from wear and corrosion failures.Surface coating strengthening technologies have been explored to improve the surface performance and prolong service life of these parts.Among these technologies,laser cladding has shown promise in producing Fe-based alloy coatings with superior interfacial bonding properties to the Fe-C alloy substrate.Additionally,the microstructure of the Fe-based alloy coating is more uniform and the grain size is finer than that of surfacing welding,thermal spraying,and plasma cladding,and the oxide film of alloying elements on the coating surface can improve the coating performance.However,Fe-based alloy coatings produced by laser cladding typically exhibit lower hardness,lower wear resistance,corrosion resistance,and oxidation resistance compared to coatings based on Co and Ni alloys.Moreover,these coatings are susceptible to defects such as pores and cracks.To address these limitations,the incorporation of rare-earth oxides through doping in the laser cladding process has garnered significant attention.This approach has demonstrated substantial improvements in the microstructure and properties of Fe-based alloy coatings.This paper reviewed recent research on the structure and properties of laser-cladded Fe-based alloy coatings doped with various rare earth oxides,including La_(2)O_(3),CeO_(2),and Y_(2)O_(3).Specifically,it discussed the effects of rare earth oxides and their concentrations on the structure,hardness,friction,wear,corrosion,and oxidation characteristics of these coatings.Furthermore,the mechanisms by which rare earth oxides influence the coating’s structure and properties were summarized.This review aimed to serve as a valuable reference for the application and advancement of laser cladding technology for rare earth modified Fe-based alloy coatings.

文摘The effects of temperature and Re content on the mechanical properties,dislocation morphology,and deformation mechanism of γ-γ′phases nickel-based single crystal superalloys are investigated by using the molecular dynamics method through the model of γ-γ′phases containing hole defect.The addition of Re makes the dislocation distribution tend towards the γ phase.The higher the Re content,the earlier theγphase yields,while the γ′phase yields later.Dislocation bends under the combined action of the applied force and the resistance of the Re atoms to form a bend point.The Re atoms are located at the bend points and strengthen the alloy by fixing the dislocation and preventing it from cutting the γ′phase.Dislocations nucleate first in the γ phase,causing theγphase to deform plastically before the γ′phase.As the strain increases,the dislocation length first remains unchanged,then increases rapidly,and finally fluctuates and changes.The dislocation lengths in the γ phase are larger than those in the γ′phase at different temperatures.The dislocation length shows a decreasing tendency with the increase of the temperature.Temperature can affect movement of the dislocation,and superalloys have different plastic deformation mechanisms at low,medium and high temperatures.

文摘Nickel-based superalloys are indispensable for high-temperature engineering applications,yet their additive manufacturing(AM)is plagued by significant cracking defects.This review investigates crack failure mechanisms in AM nickel-based superalloys,emphasizing methodologies to evaluate crack sensitivity and compositional design strategies to mitigate defects.Key crack types—solidification,liquation,solid-state,stress corrosion,fatigue,and creep-fatigue cracks—are analyzed,with focus on formation mechanisms driven by thermal gradients,solute segregation,and microstructural heterogeneities.Evaluation frameworks such as the Rappaz-Drezet-Gremaud(RDG)criterion,Solidification Cracking Index(SCI),and Strain Age Cracking(SAC)index are reviewed for predicting crack susceptibility through integration of thermodynamic parameters,solidification kinetics,and mechanical properties.Alloy compositional design strategies are presented,including optimization of strengthening elements(Al,Ti),grain boundary modifiers(B,Zr,Re),and impurity control(C,O),which suppress crack initiation and propagation via microstructure refinement and enhanced high-temperature resistance.Computational approaches,such as thermodynamically assisted design,high-throughput experimentation,and machine learning,are highlighted for decoding complex composition-structure-property relationships.Challenges in modeling multi-scale defect interactions and developing unified frameworks for manufacturing-and service-induced cracks are outlined.This review underscores the necessity of integrated computational-experimental strategies to advance reliable AM of nickel-based superalloys,providing insights for defect prediction,alloy optimization,and process control.

文摘Inclusions in nickel-based superalloys significantly influence their mechanical properties which limit the application and development.A two-dimensional axisymmetric model coupling electromagnetic flow,heat transfer,and inclusions transport was developed using the finite element method.The effects of current intensity and frequency on the transport behavior of inclusions and removal rate during vacuum induction melting were investigated using this model.To verify the accuracy of the mathematical model,experiments were conducted using the vacuum induction furnace model VIF200.A comparison of the experimental results with the simulation results reveals an excellent agreement.Four eddies exist in the central section of the molten pool,with any two eddies flowing in opposite directions.The drag force exerted by the eddies causes the inclusions converge toward the four corners of the cut surface.Due to buoyancy,an increase in the particle size of inclusions makes it easier for them to be adsorbed by the free surface,a phenomenon that is particularly noticeable for inclusions with a particle size of 400μm.An increase in current intensity changes the adsorption interface of certain 400-μm inclusions from the free surface to the sidewall.Increasing both current intensity and frequency enhances the crucible removal rate of inclusions,with current intensity exerting a more significant effect,increasing the removal rate by approximately 1% for every 150 A.Upon completion of melting,the ingot is typically obtained by pouring or bottom pouring,and inclusions adsorbed to the free surface are difficult to separate.Therefore,higher current intensity and frequency should be employed during melting to enhance the crucible removal rate.
文摘Cladding light strippers(CLSs)are essential components for high-power monolithic fiber laser systems.Because they allow for bending of the fiber,which leads to an excellent stripping efficiency of light with a low ray angle,refractive index-based CLSs have an advantage over the commonly used alternative approaches.However,conventional high-index CLSs overheat at relatively low input power as the maximum temperature,located in a hot-spot,increases linearly with the input power.This applies particularly to CLSs in thulium-based fiber systems,where very low power can already lead to extreme heat generation due to the high cladding material absorption around 2μm.Here,we investigate materials with a highly negative thermooptical coefficient combined with a refractive index closely above glass to distribute the stripped power and heat uniformly along an increased fiber length.Analyzing multiple CLS geometries for fiber diameters of 125 and 400μm,we show record-high maximum input powers for single-material CLSs of 21.8 W for the signal(2039 nm)and 675 W for the pump wavelength(793 nm).Transmitting excess light instead of overheating,this wavelength-adaptable self-protecting CLS concept is fast to apply onsite in the lab and reaches stripping efficiencies of>40 dB in the bent version.

文摘The GH4720Li alloy is one of the most widely used precipitation-strengthened nickel-based superalloy.However,systematic study about effect of strain rate on the plastic deformation behavior of GH4720Li alloy at intermediate temperature is lacking.The evolution of the tensile properties and plastic deformation mechanism of GH4720Li alloy with the strain rate at 650℃ were systematically studied with the help of transmission electron microscopy analysis.The results show that the tensile strength of the alloy increases and the plasticity decreases with the increase in strain rate.When the strain rate is 5 min^(-1),the tensile strength of the alloy is 1448 MPa and the tensile plasticity is 18%.As the strain rate increases from 0.05 to 0.5 min^(-1),the size and morphology of the primaryγ′phase of the alloy remain unchanged,with an average size of about 1.8μm.However,when the strain rate further increases to 5 min^(-1),the average size of the primaryγ′phase increases to 2.5μm.In addition,the increase of strain rate has no significant effect on the size and distribution of secondary and tertiaryγ′phases.As the strain rate increases from 0.05 to 5 min^(-1),the deformation mechanism of alloy gradually evolved from dislocation slip and twin to dislocation slip,indicating that the plastic deformation mechanism of the alloy presents a high strain rate sensitivity at 650℃.

文摘Enhancing homogenization efficiency and hot-workability is the key issue for wrought superalloys in the industry.A novel approach for simultaneous accelerating the homogenization kinetics and improving hot-workability via a simple way of prior hot-deformation was proposed,which was not widely accepted for wrought superalloys.The homogenization efficiency is increased by 40%-70%via performing 10%-20%prior hot-deformation.Both theoretical and experimental analyses revealed that the increment in homogenization efficiency is mainly attributed to the decrease in interdendritic-segregation spacing,and thus the necessary diffusion distance,rather than that of dislocations.In addition,dynamic and static recrystallizations occurred during the prior hot-deformation and diffusion-annealing processes,and the grains were significantly refined even after the homogenization.Furthermore,the size of the precipitates was refined as well.These enhanced the hot-workability of the homogenized ingot for the subsequent cogging process.
