Determination of the Content of Ultra-Low Sulphur in PM Superalloy FGH96 by Infrared Carbon-Sulphur Detector

Abstract:

PM Superalloy FGH96 is usually used as turbine disc materials. It is a kind of alloy with high purity, which has strict demands of the content of impurity elements, especially the element of sulphur. Because sulphur is accumulated in the grain boundary of manganese or iron, with the form of sulfide, it has great impact on the performance of PM Superalloy FGH96, such as toughness and fatigue property. Therefore, it is an important part of quantity control to detect accurately of the content of ultra-low sulphur in PM Superalloy FGH96. As the market demand of PM Superalloy FGH96 and quality becomes varied, it is a trend that PM Superalloy FGH96 has ultra-low content of sulphur (S: 0.0001%-0.0020%). Hence, the related analysis techniques are needed. A new method of analyzing Ultra-low Sulphur (S: 0.0001%-0.0020%) in PM Superalloy FGH96 is established in the article by selective experiments with relevant test conditions, such as combustion conditions and blank test, using infrared carbon-sulphur detector.
