ABSTRACTNickel-containing ternary iron aluminides with an aluminum concentration of 45 at. % were investigated with respect to room temperature strength, equilibrium vacancy concentration, and the kinetics of vacancy removal. As compared to binary iron aluminides with the same Al concentration, nickel additions reduce the thermal equilibrium vacancy concentration at 1273 K, whereas they increase this concentration at 973 K. Furthermore, at low temperatures such as 673 K, nickel additions increase dramatically the time needed to reach vacancy equilibrium. During prolonged annealing at 673 K, the density of <001> dislocations in Fe-45Al-3Ni (at. %) increased by an order of magnitude. This suggests that dislocations act as sinks for vacancies. At the same time, the number density of small (20–50 nm) voids decreased, indicating that they were not stable in the absence of substantial vacancy supersaturations. Our findings show also that the solid solution strengthening of iron aluminides due to Ni is much weaker than previously thought.

AbstractThe creep resistance of single-crystalline Ni-base superalloys at elevated temperatures depends among others on solid solution strengthening of the γ-matrix. To study the influence of various solid solution strengtheners on the mechanical properties, a series of Ni-base superalloys with the same content of different alloying elements (Ir, Mo, Re, Rh, Ru, W) or element combinations (MoW, ReMo, ReW) was investigated. Nanoindentation measurements were performed to correlate the partitioning behavior of the solid solution strengtheners with the hardness of the individual phases. The lowest γ′/γ-hardness ratio was observed for the Re-containing alloy with the strongest partitioning of Re to the γ-matrix. As a result of the creep experiments in the high-temperature/low-stress regime (1373 K (1100 °C)/140 MPa), it can be concluded that solid solution hardening in the γ-phase plays an essential role. The stronger the partitioning to the γ-phase and the lower the interdiffusion coefficient of the alloying element, the better the creep resistance. Therefore, the best creep behavior is found for alloys containing high contents of slow-diffusing elements that partition preferably to the γ-phase, particularly Re followed by W and Mo.

In this work the hardening effect of Ta and Mo in Ni-base alloys was investigated using a combinatorial approach with diffusion couples. Furthermore, the Ni-Fe system was used as a reference system taking advantage of the full miscibility at high temperatures. Ta was chosen, as aside from having a technical relevance in the Ni-base superalloys, it also has a high miscibility in Ni. The main focus of this paper will be solid solution hardening. It will be shown that even though the determination of hardness is subject to varying indentation size effects (ISE) [Durst et al., Acta Mater.55(20), 6825 (2007)], only a few modifications are necessary to describe solid solution strengthening measured by nanoindentations using the Labusch theory [Labusch, Acta Metall.20(7), 917 (1972)]. Moreover, after a careful evaluation of the results, the data can be used to investigate solid solution hardening effects quickly and efficiently with small amounts of material.

Nucleation and growth of Laves phase are calculated for a multi-component system. Coarsening of MX, M23C6 and Laves are also determined. The influence on creep strength is discussed by analysing particle hardening and solid solution strengthening. A model for particle size distribution is presented in order to determine the amount of dislocations that can climb across particles or generate Orowan loops. The model for solid solution hardening is based on a solution of Fick’s second law with a moving frame of reference for the concentration profiles around a climbing dislocation. This is done in order to determine the slowdown in dislocations velocity due to solute drag. The results show a loss in creep strength as the Laves phase grows.

Solid solution strengthening of the unordered γ matrix phase by alloying elements is of great importance during creep of Ni-based superalloys, particularly at high temperatures above 1000 °C. To study the role of different potent solutes, we have conducted creep experiments on binary Ni-2X alloys (X = Mo, Re, Ta, W) at 1000 °C, 1050 °C, and 1100 °C at a constant stress of 20 MPa. Compared to mechanical tests below 800 °C, where the size of the elements mostly determines the solid solution hardening contribution, the strengthening contribution of the different alloying elements above 1000 °C directly correlates with their diffusivity. Therefore, elements such as Ta that lead to strong solid solution hardening at low temperatures become less effective at higher temperatures and are exceeded by slower diffusing elements, such as Re.

Strength, hardness, and ductility characteristics were determined for a series of palladium-copper alloys that compositionally vary from 5 to 25 weight percent copper. Alloy specimens subjected to vacuum annealing showed clear evidence of solid solution strengthening. These specimens showed, as a function of increasing copper content, increased yield strength, ultimate strength, and Vickers microhardness, while their ductility was little affected by compositional differences. Annealed alloy specimens subsequently subjected to exposure to hydrogen at 323 K and PH2 = 1 atm showed evidence of hydrogen embrittlement up to a composition of ~15 wt. % Cu. The magnitude of the hydrogen embrittlement decreased with increasing copper content in the alloy.
