Abstract
The M23C6 phase is usually precipitated in high-Cr content Ni-based polycrystalline superalloys, which has significant effects on properties of the alloys. In this work, the role of Ti on the modification of M23C6 carbides was investigated. In the alloys without Ti (6.6Al-0Ti alloy), MC carbides decomposed and M23C6 carbides precipitated during primary aging treatment. In contrast, alloy containing Ti (3.8Al-3Ti alloy), MC carbides remained stable throughout aging process and M23C6 carbides precipitated during secondary aging treatment. Furthermore, M23C6 carbides distributed along grain boundaries in 6.6Al-0Ti alloy were larger and more regular. According to first-principle calculations, the formation energy of MC carbide in 3.8Al-3Ti alloy was lower, which indicated MC carbide was more stable, resulting in limited carbon available for M23C6 carbides precipitation. Therefore, the introduction of Ti would inhibit precipitation of M23C6 carbides due to more stable MC carbides in superalloy containing Ti.
期刊介绍:
Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
