Abstract

W-Re-HfC alloys have been extensively applied in the field of high-temperature structural parts. To ensure high temperature reliability, it is essential to enhance creep resistance ability. In this study, the microstructures of forged W-Re-HfC alloys were adjusted using different heat treatment processes. The corresponding tensile creep properties were also measured at 2000 °C with 40 MPa. Furthermore, a possible creep fracture mechanism was also explored. The forged W-Re-HfC sample annealed for 2 h exhibited the best creep performances with a steady-state creep rate of 3.28 × 10⁻⁶ and a creep life of 5.6 h. Generally, a larger grain size indicates a lower steady-state creep rate; however, the precipitation of carbides at the grain boundaries (GBs) deteriorates the bonding strength of interfaces, thus reversing the former trend. The dominant creep mechanism is diffusion creep, in which the voids nucleate perpendicular to the GBs, grow and connect into cracks, ultimately leading to fractures.

期刊介绍： Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials. The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal. The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials using novel approaches. Materials covered by the journal include: Metals & Alloys Ceramics Nanomaterials Biomedical materials Optical materials Composites Natural Materials.
