Grain Refinement of Superalloy K4169 with Low-Voltage Pulsed Magnetic Field Treatment

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influences of different pouring temperature and mold temperature on solidified structure of superalloy K4169 under low-voltage pulsed magnetic field (LVPMF) were investigated in the paper. The experimental results show that solidified structure of superalloy K4169 under LVPMF can be refined greatly with appropriate cooling rate of the alloy. The dendrite growth is restrained and the microstructure is changed from larger dendrite grains to smaller equiaxed grains. When the pouring temperature is at 1380 °C-1530 °C or the mold temperature is at 1000 °C-1300 °C, the increase of pouring temperature or mold temperature enhances the refinement effect of LVPMF processing. With the increase of the pouring temperature or the mold temperature, average grain size of the alloy decreases and the primary phase degrades from developed dendrites into equiaxed crystals under the LVPMF.
