Potential of carbide strengthened economical wrought nickel-based alloy for high temperature

Abstract

A carbide strengthened wrought Ni-based superalloy is developed. The alloy depends on carbide dispersion strengthening. A high deformation plasticity in homogeneous alloy is shown in the 1100–1200 °C isothermal compression test and the improvement of microstructure can be achieved by recrystallization. After aging at 850–900 °C, the carbide strengthened wrought alloy appears excellent tensile strength. Carbide exists higher microstructure stability than γ′ in the same condition. The herein reported results reflect the potential of the economical wrought Ni-based superalloy to service above 800 °C.
