Deformation Behaviors of Non-Metallic Inclusion in FGH96 Superalloy during Different Plastic Processes

Abstract:

The non-metallic inclusions in FGH96 superalloy during different plastic processes were studied. The results show that SiO2 react with aluminum and titanium in FGH96 superalloy and the reaction zone is formed in the interface between SiO2 and alloy, whereas Al2O3 react with no elements in FGH96 superalloy and the transition zone between them is mechanical combination during the plastic processes. In addition the sizes of non-metallic inclusions increase in the direction perpendicular to deformation during isothermal forging process. The non-metallic inclusions are pulled into a discontinuous line in extrusion direction and areas of non-metallic inclusions in each direction are constricted during extrusion process. The non-metallic inclusions of FGH96 superalloy is conditioned by the state of the as-extrusion inclusions during extrusion+isothermal forging process. In summary, extrusion process with large extrusion ratio can break the non-metallic inclusions in FGH96 alloy effectively and improve forging quality.
