A nickel-base superalloy is essentially a Ni/Cr solid solution hardened by additions of Al (Ti, Nb, etc.) to precipitate a coherent, ordered phase. In most commercial alloy systems, e.g. B-1900, IN-100 and Mar-M200, the stable precipitate is Ni3 (Al,Ti) γ′, with an LI2structure. In A lloy 901 the normal precipitate is metastable Nis Ti3 γ′ ; the stable phase is a hexagonal Do2 4 structure. In Alloy 718 the strengthening precipitate is metastable γ″, which has a body-centered tetragonal D022 structure.Precipitate MorphologyIn most systems the ordered γ′ phase forms by a continuous precipitation re-action, which gives rise to a uniform intragranular dispersion of precipitate particles. For zero γ/γ′ misfit, the γ′ precipitates assume a spheroidal.

The characterization of the microstructure evolution during welding of nickel base superalloys is required for efficient reuse and reclamation of used and failed components. Previous atom probe analysis of electron-beam and laser-beam welds revealed complex alloying elemental partitioning between the γ and γ phases. Rapid cooling conditions in the weld leads to non-equilibrium partitioning and large amplitude Cr and Co levels in the γ phase. These results indicated that there is a strong relationship between weld cooling rate and the precipitation of γ′ precipitates from the γ phase. To understand and develop predictive models, a systematic investigation of the microstructure evolution in CM247DS alloy under controlled thermomechanical conditions are being performed. This paper describes some recent results on the elemental partitioning between γ and γ′ phases obtained with atom probe microanalysis.

Abstract The work carried out microstructural, eddy-current and ultrasonic studies of the material of spent blades of gas turbine engines made of nickel-base superalloy. To determine the degree of damage to the material of the spent blades, studies of the microstructure were carried out on a scanning electron microscope. It was found that γ' coagulation occurred in some specimens, which corresponds to overheated material. Acoustic studies of the material were carried out using the ultrasonic pulse echo method. Comparative analysis showed that in such specimens there is a significant decrease in the velocity of propagation and attenuation of longitudinal ultrasonic waves. It is found that the readings of the eddy-current flaw detector in overheated specimens differ more than twice in comparison with non-overheated specimens. This fact can be used for operational non-destructive testing of the actual state of the metal structure by the eddy current method with the aim of further safe operation of gas turbine engines.
