Hot Working Behavior of Casting Thermo-Span Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thermo-Span alloy is an oxidation resistant, low thermal expansion superalloy with good mechanical properties at the service temperature. This paper investigated the hot working behavior of casting Thermo-Span alloy deformed at 900~1150°C, with strains of 20%, 40% and 60% at strain rates of 1 and 10 s-1. Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) grains were formed at 1110°C with a strain of 20%, at 1050°C with a strain of 40%. Increasing the deformation rate and strain can promote the DRX. However, when the strain exceeded 60% or the deformation temperature was above 1150°C with 40% strain, the surface cracks occurred, indicating that the alloy should be deformed in one heat no larger than 60%. By forging and rolling at 1050°C, Thermo-Span alloy with good surface quality and homogeneous grains was produced, and the tensile properties were still acceptable.
