Effects of Original Microstructure on Hot Deformation Behavior and Microstructure of a P/M Ni-Base Superalloy

Abstract:

The hot deformation behavior and microstructure of a powder metallurgy (P/M) Ni-base superalloy with different original microstructure were studied by isothermal compression tests. The isothermal compression tests were conducted on Gleeble-3500D simulator with the temperature range of 1000°C~1100°C and the strain rate of 0.001s^-1~0.1s^-1. The results showed that the flow stress of the specimens with fine grains (10μm) and ultrafine grains (3μm) gained by hot extruding (HEX) were much less than the that with the average grain diameter of 30μm by hot isostatic pressing (HIP). At the strain rate of 0.001s^-1，the as-HIPed specimens with the average grain diameter of 30μm showed steady-state deformation at 1100°C only， whereas the as-HEXed specimens with the average grain diameter of 10μm and 3μm showed steady-state deformation both at 1050°C and 1100°C. The flow stress showed decreasing trend as the average grain diameter decreasing. The activation energy of hot deformation decreased form 622.79 kJ·mol^-1 to 302.36 kJ·mol^-1 as the average grain diameter decreased from 30μm to 3μm. When the as-HEXed specimen with the average grain diameter of 3μm was deformed at the condition of (1050°C, 0.001s^-1), the flow stress was lower than that at the condition of (1100°C,0.001s^-1), and the former also gained much finer and uniform grain, the later gained mixed grains.
