The temperature behavior of the dissolution of the hardening γ' phase and the kinetics of its coarsening at 700 and 800°C have been determined.

At high temperatures the pressure of interfacial dislocations against the gamma/gamma'-interface causes grooves. This 'fingerprint of the dislocation network' is visualized by deep selective etching, which removes the gamma'-phase down to the gamma/gamma'-interface. Compared with transmission electron microscopy, the proposed method has important advantages: observation of large sample areas, no superposition of dislocations lying in different specimen depths, possibility of three-dimensional view of dislocation configurations, information about the dislocation mobility, reduced time for preparation and visualization. The method can be applied for multiphase materials where the interface is grooved by interfacial dislocations.

It has been found that the competitive grain growth in a starter block is determined by the crystallographic factor: rapidly growing grains with the axial orientation close to the [001] direction dominate in this part of the casting. For the competitive grain growth in a helicoidal separator, the geometric factor (the position of a grain at the input of the separator) is also important. The results obtained suggest that an appropriate geometry of the single-grain selector was chosen. In addition, the distribution of the orientations of columnar grains obtained by electron backscattered diffraction, can be used for approximate estimation of the yield of suitable (i.e., with the deviation of the axial orientation from the [001] direction within a specified tolerance) single-crystal blades.

T1 - Creep behavior of a γ΄-strengthened Co-base alloy with zero γ/γ΄-lattice misfit at 800 °C, 196 MPa N2 - Deformation and structural behavior of an experimental γ΄-strengthened Co-base alloy during creep at 800 °C and 196 MPa have been investigated. The characteristic features of this alloy are zero γ/γ΄-lattice misfit and a fine γ/γ΄-microstructure. In the initial condition, the γ΄-precipitates in this alloy are small (size of about 100 nm), have polyhedral morphology, and are separated by the very narrow c-channels (width of about 10 nm). The tests performed up to about 1% creep strain (about 500 h creep time) gave creep curves with a slow constant strain rate and without an apparent transient creep, typical for superalloys with nonzero misfit. In this initial stage of creep, entering of the narrow γ-channels by dislocations is blocked by a strong Orowan force. The micromechanism of creep was identified as an octahedral glide of h011i superdislocations simultaneously in two phases, γ and γ΄. The γ/γ΄-microstructure with zero misfit shows no rafting but rapidly coarsens isotropically. It is concluded that zero misfit is beneficial at the initial stages of the creep but is unfavourable for longterm creep because of the continuous microstructural coarsening.

T1 - (100) Dislocations in nickel-base superalloys: Formation and role in creep deformation N2 - α(1 0 0) Dislocations are observed in nickel-base superalloys after creep deformation at high temperatures and low stresses. They are formed in the γ/γ´ interfaces by a three step mechanism. First, primary dislocations with Burgers vector α/2(1 0 1) and 60° character are left behind in the interfaces when dislocation loops glide through the γ channels. The 60° dislocations move into edge orientation and react forming secondary dislocations α/2(1 1 0). In the third step, new primary dislocations are knit into the already existing meshes of primary and secondary dislocations, which results in hexagonal misfit dislocation networks consisting of secondary dislocations α/2(1 1 0) and tertiary dislocations α(1 0 0), both of edge type. This self-organisation process is explained by dislocation theory and crystallography. Creep deformation accelerates when the α(1 0 0) interfacial dislocations enter the γ´ phase. During their climb towards the opposite interface, they attain a characteristic rectangular shape. This shape and the importance of the α(1 0 0) super dislocations for creep deformation are discussed.

The kinetics of rafting are assumed to be driven by the reduction of the internal stresses represented by the macroscopic back-stress.

A1 - Fedelich, Bernard T1 - Inhomogeneity of misfit stresses in nickel-base superalloys: Effect on propagation of matrix dislocatiion loops N2 - It is shown experimentally that, during annealing and creep under low applied stresses, matrix dislocation loops frequently cross-glide. The periodic length of the zigzag dislocations deposited in the interfaces is equal to that of the γ/γ'-microstructure. Initially, the zigzag dislocations move in the (001) interface by a combination of glide and climb but then they stop near the γ'-edges and align along (100). Reactions of such dislocations lead to the formation of square interfacial networks consisting of (100) oriented edge dislocations. The complex dislocation movement is explained by the inhomogeneity of the misfit stresses between γ- and γ'-lattices. The tensile components of the stress tensor drive the dislocations through the channel, whereas the shear components near the γ'-edges cause the zigzag movement and the (100) alignment. The total effect is the most efficient relaxation of the misfit stresses. The results are relevant, especially for single-crystal superalloys of the newest generations, which have an increased γ/γ'-misfit due to the high level of refractory elements.

T1 - Creep of the single-crystal nickel-base superalloy CMSX-4 at a super-solvus temperature N2 - Data about the creep of metals and their alloys at temperatures close to the melting point are very limited. The reason is that most engineering alloys are used at temperatures below 0.6-0.8 of their melting point, so, investigation of creep at higher temperatures has usually no practical relevance. For some special applications however it is important, in our case hot isostatic pressing (HIP) of single-crystal turbine blades cast from nickel-base superalloys. In order to remove porosity the blades are HIPed at temperatures above GammaP-solvus where superalloy has no strengthening GammaP-phase and therefore is very soft. E.g., the company Howmet Castings hips the superalloy CMSX-4 at 1288°C, which corresponds to a homologous temperature of about 0.97=1561 K/1612 K (solidus temperature). Knowledge about the creep of CMSX-4 at this temperature and understanding of the creep mechanisms are necessary to model the kinetics of pore closure during HIP. CMSX-4 single-crystals of [001] orientation and few single-crystals of different orientations, [011], [123] and [111], were tested under creep conditions at 1288°C in the stress range between 4 and 16 MPa. At this temperature which is above the GammaP-solvus (for CMSX-4 1280°C) the superalloy has single phase structure representing the Gamma-solid solution of nickel strengthened by solute atoms. On creep curves of CMSX-4 single-crystals of different orientations measured at 1288°C/10 MPa it is seen that despite such a high homological temperature, 0.97, CMSX-4 shows very high anisotropy of creep rate. The average creep rate of [001] single-crystal in the range 0-30% strain is about 11.5 time faster than that for [111], a ratio, which is even higher than at the practically relevant temperatures 750-1100°, see e.g.. Approximation the strain rate – stress dependence by the Norton power law gave a stress exponent n of about 6 which is an indication of dislocation creep. The specimen shape after testing, analysis of traces of plastic deformation by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations indicate on dislocation slip on the octahedral system <011>{11-1}.This result however does not support the current doctrine that at high temperatures creep of metals and alloys are climb controlled. It is concluded from the obtained results that even at such a high homologous temperature, 0.97, dislocation movement by slip is more preferable than by climb if only relatively week obstacles are present like solute atoms and low angle boundaries (LABs). It is remarkable that under used testing conditions the necking and recrystallization behavior of differently oriented single-crystals is very different. E.g., the [001] single-crystal showed very large local strain during necking, Phi=99.8%, and no recrystallization (see Fig. 3a), while the [111] single-crystal small necking, Phi=62%, accompanied by recrystallization. Such a specific deformation and recrystallization has to be undestood. The obtained creep data of CMSX-4 was introduced in a finite element model in order to simulate pore closure during commercial HIP at a temperature of 1288°C.

T1 - Untersuchung des Kriechverhaltens einer Nickelbasis-Superlegierung bei ultrahohen homologen Temperaturen und Anwendung auf das heiß-isostatische Pressen (HIP) N2 - Mit Hilfe des HIP-Verfahrens („Hot Isostatic Pressing“) werden Poren in der einkristallinen Nickel-Basis Superlegierung CMSX-4 kontinuierlich geschrumpft und dadurch die nach der Erstarrung und der Wärmebehandlung vorhandene Porosität stark reduziert. In diesem Beitrag werden experimentelle und numerische Untersuchungen zu den Mechanismen der Porenschrumpfung zusammengefasst. Es zeigt sich, dass das Verformungsverhalten während Kriechversuchen bei der HIP-Temperatur durch Versetzungsgleitung auf oktaedrischen Ebenen dominiert wird. Dagegen zeigen Messungen der Porositätsabnahme und Simulationen des Porenschließens, dass die Kinetik der Porenschrumpfung durch das Phänomen der Leerstellendiffusion zwischen Poren und Kleinwinkelkorngrenzen („Low Angle Boundary“, LAB) bestimmt wird. Im Gegensatz führt die klassische Kristallviskoplastizität zu einer systematischen Überschätzung dieser Kinetik. Der scheinbare Widerspruch lässt sich auflösen, wenn man bedenkt, dass auf der Skala der Poren Versetzungsquellen nicht gleichmäßig verteilt sind, wie in der konventionellen Kristallplastizität implizit angenommen wird. Stattdessen wird in einem weiterführenden Modell davon ausgegangen, das Kleinwinkelkorngrenzen (LABs) als Versetzungsquellen fungieren, während die Scherspannungen sehr stark in der Nähe der Poren lokalisiert sind, was die Emission von Versetzungen deutlich reduziert.

The measurements were performed on the 4th generation single-crystal nickel-base superalloy TMS138. It is shown that reflections from non-cubic crystallographic planes split not only in d-scale due to the different spacing of the γ- and γ'-lattices but also in the pole figure due to the tilting of γ-lattice planes. This tilting results from the elastic distortion of the γ-lattice caused by the γ/γ'-misfit. The results obtained are discussed under the methodical aspect of misfit measurement.

The model describes the evolution of the pore arrays enclosed in the 3D synchrotron tomograms during hot isostatic pressing and properly predicts the time and stress dependences of the pore annihilation kinetics. The validated model and the obtained experimental results are used for selecting the optimal technological parameters such as applied pressure and processing time KW - Superalloys KW - HIP KW - Single-Crystal KW - Diffusion PY - 2021 UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:kobv:b43-526859 DO - https://doi.org/10.1002/adem.202100211 VL - 23 IS - 7 SP - 211 AN - OPUS4-52685 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Fedelich, Bernard A1 - Epishin, A.

T1 - Mechanism of porosity growth during homogenisation in single crystal nickel-based superalloys N2 - Several mechanisms for porosity growth in single crystal nickel-based superalloys during homogenisation heat treatment have been proposed in the literature. They were carefully checked using different experimental methods, namely quantitative light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and density measurements. It is shown that the main mechanism is the Kirkendall–Frenkel effect, i.e. generation of voids due to uncompensated efflux of Al atoms from dissolving γ/γ′-eutectic areas. The Al diffusion is supported by the afflux of vacancies from surrounding γ-matrix which results in porosity growth. This conclusion is confirmed by the estimation of the vacancy afflux towards the dissolving eutectic.

T1 - Simulation of Hot Isostatic Pressing in a Single-Crystal Ni Base Superalloy with the Theory of Continuously Distributed Dislocations Combined with Vacancy Diffusion N2 - Single-crystal components made of nickel base superalloys contain pores after casting and homogenization heat treatment. Hot isostatic pressing (HIP), which is carried above the γ' -solvus temperature of the alloy, is industrially applied to reduce porosity. A modeling of HIP based on continuously distributed dislocations is developed in a 2D setting. Glide and climb of straight-edge dislocations, as well as vacancy diffusion, are the deformation mechanisms taken into account. Thereby, dislocation glide is controlled by dragging a cloud of large atoms, and climb is controlled by vacancy diffusion. Relying on previous investigations of the creep behavior at HIP temperatures, it is assumed that new dislocations are nucleated at low-angle boundaries (LAB) and move through subgrains until they either reach the opposite LABs or react with other dislocations and annihilate. Vacancies are created at the pore surface and diffuse through the alloy until they are either consumed by climbing dislocations or disappear at the LABs. The field equations are solved by finite elements. It is shown that pore shrinking is mostly controlled by vacancy diffusion as the shear stresses at the LABs are too low to nucleate a sufficient amount of dislocations.

T1 - Investigation of Elastic Properties of the Single-Crystal Nickel-Base Superalloy CMSX-4 in the Temperature Interval between Room Temperature and 1300 °C N2 - The elastic properties of the single-crystal nickel-base superalloy CMSX-4 used as a blade material in gas turbines were investigated by the sonic resonance method in the temperature interval between room temperature and 1300 °C. Elastic constants at such high temperatures are needed to model the mechanical behavior of blade material during manufacturing (hot isostatic pressing) as well as during technical accidents which may happen in service (overheating). High reliability of the results was achieved using specimens of different crystallographic orientations, exciting various vibration modes as well as precise measurement of the material density and thermal Expansion required for modeling the resonance frequencies by finite element method. Combining the results measured in this work and literature data the elastic constants of the gamma and gamma' phases were predicted. This prediction was supported by measurement of the temperature dependence of the gamma'fraction. All data obtained in this work are given in numerical or analytical forms and can be easily used for different scientific and engineering calculations.

T1 - Pore annihilation in a single-crystal nickel-base superalloy during hot isostatic pressing: Experiment and modelling N2 - Pore annihilation during hot isostatic pressing (HIP) was investigated in the single-crystal nickel-base superalloy CMSX-4 experimentally by interrupted HIP tests at 1288 °C/103 MPa. The kinetics of pore annihilation was determined by density measurement and quantitative metallography. Transmission electron microscopy of a HIPed specimen showed that the pores shrink via dislocation movement on octahedral glide planes. Theoretically pore closure under HIP condition was modelled by the finite element method using crystal plasticity and large strain theories. The modelling gives a similar kinetics of pore annihilation as observed experimentally, however somewhat higher annihilation rate.

T1 - Pore Morphology in Single Crystals of a Nickel-Based Superalloy After Hot Isostatic Pressing N2 - The morphology of pores partially shrunk during a half-hour HIP at temperature of 1288 °C and pressure of 103 MPa has been investigated in nickel-based superalloy CMSX-4. The investigation resulted in the following findings: surrounding the shrinking pores by a c¢-shell (Ni3Al), faceting of the pores surface by {023} and {011} planes, and formation the submicroscopic satellite pores connected by channels with the neighboring larger pores. It is assumed that the formation of the c¢-shell around the pores and the faceting of the pore surface is due to diffusion processes occurring during pore shrinkage, and therefore these findings can be considered as arguments supporting the vacancy model of pore annihilation. The submicroscopic satellite pores are expected to be the result of dividing the casting pores of a complex initial shape during their shrinking. The connecting channels are probably required for the gas to escape from the rapidly shrinking small satellite pores into the slowly shrinking large pore. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that the casting pores may contain some amount of gas.

The reason is that most engineering alloys are used at temperatures below 0.6-0.8 of their melting point, so, Investigation of creep at higher temperatures has no practical relevance. For some special applications however it is important, in our case hot isostatic pressing (HIP) of single-crystal turbine blades cast from nickel-base superalloys. In order to remove porosity the blades are HlPed at temperatures between y'-solvus and solidus where superalloy has no strengthening y'-phase and therefore is very soft. For example, the Company Howmet Castings HIPs the superalloy CMSX-4 at the temperature 1288aC, which corresponds to a homologous temperature of about 0.97=1561 K/1612 K (solidus temperature). Therefore knowledge about the creep behaviour of CMSX-4 at this temperature and understanding of the creep mechanisms are necessary to model the kinetics of pore closure during HIP as well as to plan the Parameters of the HIP process.

HIP tests at 1288 °C/103 MPa were interrupted at different times, then the specimens were investigated by TEM, metallography and density measurements. The kinetics of pore annihilation was determined. The pore closure mechanism was identified as plastic deformation on the octahedral slip systems. A model describing the kinetics of pore closure has been developed on the base of crystal plasticity and large strain theory. Mechanical tests with the superalloy CMSX-4 and the Ru-containing superalloy VGM4 showed, that HIP significantly increases the fatigue life at low temperatures but has no effect on creep strength.
