Effect of Hot Isostatic Pressing on the Microstructure of Single Crystal Ni-Based Superalloy DD10

Abstract:

The effects of hot isostatic pressing on the microstructures of a third generation single crystal Ni-based superalloy DD10 were investigated by using optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron microprobe analyzer (EPMA). The results showed that the micropores in the interdendritic region were eliminated completely after hot isostatic pressing at 1320 and 150MPa. Meanwhile, the morphology of γ precipitates changed to be more cuboidal and the distribution of γ precipitates in both dendrite core and interdendritic region became more uniform after hot isostatic pressing. Hot isostatic pressing also promoted the homogenization of the composition between dendrite core and interdendritic region and the dendritic segregation of Re, W, Al and Ta was decreased.
