Abstract
Nickel-based superalloys are typically employed for high-temperature applications. One well-known degradation mechanism is the rafting of the γ′-phase. In this study, it was investigated, whether a high current impulse treatment is suitable to induce changes in element distribution that are opposite to those observed during the rafting process. Thus, samples of CMSX-4 were treated with high current impulses up to 4 kA/mm2. Energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy measurements showed changes in element distribution due to these treatments. The changes in element distribution were observed to become more pronounced with increasing current density and partly counteracted those induced by prior creep. The extent of the compositional changes also depends on the element. Variations in the Al and Ta content showed stronger tendencies than, e.g., Cr, Co and W.
期刊介绍:
ASM International''s Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance focuses on solving day-to-day engineering challenges, particularly those involving components for larger systems. The journal presents a clear understanding of relationships between materials selection, processing, applications and performance.
The Journal of Materials Engineering covers all aspects of materials selection, design, processing, characterization and evaluation, including how to improve materials properties through processes and process control of casting, forming, heat treating, surface modification and coating, and fabrication.
Testing and characterization (including mechanical and physical tests, NDE, metallography, failure analysis, corrosion resistance, chemical analysis, surface characterization, and microanalysis of surfaces, features and fractures), and industrial performance measurement are also covered
