High-Temperature Structural Stabilities of Ni-Based Single-Crystal Superalloys Ni–Co–Cr–Mo–W–Al–Ti–Ta with Varying Co Contents

It has been recently pointed out that the compositions of industrial alloys are originated from cluster-plus-glue-atom structure units in solid solutions. Specifically for Ni-based superalloys, after properly grouping the alloying elements into Al, Ni-like ( Ni ¯ ), γ ′-forming Cr-like ( Cr ¯ γ ′ )...

Description
Summary:It has been recently pointed out that the compositions of industrial alloys are originated from cluster-plus-glue-atom structure units in solid solutions. Specifically for Ni-based superalloys, after properly grouping the alloying elements into Al, Ni-like ( Ni ¯ ), γ ′-forming Cr-like ( Cr ¯ γ ′ ) and γ -forming Cr-like ( Cr ¯ γ ), the optimal formula for single-crystal superalloys is established [Al– Ni ¯ 12 ](Al 1 Cr ¯ 0.5 γ ′ Cr ¯ 1.5 γ ). The Co substitutions for Ni at the shell sites are conducted on the basis of the first-generation single-crystal superalloy AM3, formulated as [Al–Ni 12− x Co x ](Al 1 Ti 0.25 Ta 0.25 Cr 1 W 0.25 Mo 0.25 ), with x  = 1.5, 1.75, 2 and 2.5 (the corresponding weight percents of Co are 9.43, 11.0, 12.57 and 15.71, respectively). The 900 °C long-term aging follows the Lifshitz–Slyozov–Wagner theory (LSW theory), and the Co content does not have noticeable influence on the coarsening rate of γ ′. The microstructure and creep behavior of the four (001) single-crystal alloys are investigated. The creep rupture lifetime is reduced as Co increases. The alloy with the lowest Co (9.43 Co) shows the longest lifetime of about 350 h at 1050 °C/120 MPa, and all the samples show N-type rafting after creep tests.
