Abstract
The property degradation and structural evolution of DD6 Nickel-based single crystal superalloy (NSCS) at elevated temperatures after laser shock peening (LSP) were investigated. Both untreated and LSP-treated specimens underwent heat treatment at various temperatures and holding times, and the evolution of their surface microstructures was comparatively analysed. The results showed that the roughness and hardness of the LSP-treated specimens decreased with increasing heat treatment temperature and duration, whereas those of the untreated specimens increased under the same conditions. The oxide film formed on the LSP-treated specimens was relatively thinner than that on the untreated ones. The outward diffusion of Al from the matrix led to the dissolution of the γ′ phase and the formation of γ′-free zones. The high-density dislocations introduced by LSP promoted the formation of a protective Al2O3 oxide film, while the residual compressive stress field inhibited oxide film spallation. Overall, LSP effectively enhanced the high-temperature oxidation resistance of NSCS, providing insights into the initial oxidation mechanism of this alloy.
