The high Ni content steel was observed to have a much stronger hardening effect during thermal ageing. Precipitation of Cu-rich clusters is responsible for the hardening effect observed in the two alloys. 3-dimensional atom probe has been employed to characterize quantitatively the evolution of precipitation microstructure, cluster chemistry and cluster/matrix interface segregation. The strong influence of ageing temperature and of alloy Ni content has been confirmed in this study. The higher the thermal ageing temperature, the higher the Cu concentration in the core of Cu-rich clusters. Ni, Mn and Si show segregation to the cluster/matrix interface, and this is stronger at lower ageing temperatures.

In addition, clusters formed before natural ageing play an important role on the subsequent precipitation of metastable phases that are responsible for hardening. In this study, the influence of copper addition, room temperature storage and pre-ageing on the very early stages of phase decomposition in two Al-Mg-Si(-Cu) alloys are investigated.

The thermal stability of Inconel 706 is insufficient for a long term service above 700 degC, which leads to a dramatic loss of creep and tensile strength. Two methods of compositional modification were followed to optimize the microstructural stability of Inconel 706. One is by adding rhenium to the standard composition of the superalloy and second is by refining the chemistry of Inconel 706 resulting in a new alloy composition named DT 706 alloy. The main aim of this study was to investigate the complex microstructure in Inconel 706 alloy with high resolution techniques like electron microscopy (HREM) and three dimensional atom-probe (3DAP). The microchemistry around precipitates and the local structural variations involved in phase formation and transformation sequences of the fine precipitates and the co-precipitates (as small as 10 nm) were studied. The analysis was performed to understand not only the transformation sequences but also the stability of each precipitate type. Microstructures in different heat treated conditions and after long time ageing at 750degC for 750 h and 5000 h were therefore studied in Inconel 706 alloy and compared with the modified alloys. The addition of Re to Inconel 706 composition did not show the desired effect which therefore suggests that alloying with Re is not the right choice in order to stabilize the structure of Ni-Fe wrought superalloys such as Inconel 706. On the other hand, it was observed that the thermal stability of DT 706 alloy is significantly improved. Therefore, DT 706 alloy has an advantage over the Inconel 706 alloy","PeriodicalId":108834,"journal":{"name":"2006 19th International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128190444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
