Abstract The creep strength of single-crystalline Co-based superalloys was found to be comparable first-generation Ni-base superalloys. However, considerable shearing the γ ′ precipitates observed in early stages. To determine strengthening contribution Ta-containing ′-Co 3 (Al,W) precipitates, several Co-Al-W-Ta determined as a function volume fraction at 1223 K (950 °C) and stress levels between 25 600 MPa. Employing Lagneborg–Bergman–Reppich (LBR) approach, it is that increases...

The anomalous yielding behavior known from Ni3Al or Ni-base superalloys is explained by the formation of immobile dislocation configurations via cross-slip leading superpartial anti-phase boundary-coupled pairs. A systematic investigation a single-crystalline Co-11Ti-15Cr superalloy transmission electron microscopy revealed absence similar sessile during initial stage. Shearing γ' precipitates superlattice stacking fault dominant deformation mechanism at peak temperature. Furthermore, high...

Compositionally complex polycrystalline γ/γ′ CoNi-base superalloys, such as CoWAlloy2 (Co41-Ni32-Cr12-Al9-W5-Ti0.3-Ta0.2-Si0.4-Hf0.1-C-B-Zr) are interesting candidates for new high-temperature materials. To maximize their strength, the microstructure has to be optimized by adjusting multi-step heat treatments. Various microstructures after different treatments were analyzed scanning and transmission electron microscopy especially in-situ small-angle neutron scattering during treatment...

Tailoring the partitioning behavior of solid solution strengtheners is a crucial design strategy for advanced Ni-based superalloys. The goal this study was to maximize enrichment Mo, Re, Ru and W in γ-matrix phase. To determine composition dependency behavior, set polycrystalline superalloys with varying contents these solution-strengthening elements W-containing single-crystalline alloy series concentrations γ′-forming Ta Ti produced. Assessed properties include phase compositions by...

Abstract The γ′ volume fraction is a key parameter in precipitation-strengthened Co- and Ni-base superalloys mainly determines the alloys’ properties. However, systematic studies with varying fractions are rare influence on thermal expansion has not been studied detail. Therefore, series of six Ta-containing Co-based alloys was designed compositions γ – tie-line, where changes systematically. During solidification, Laves (C14-type) µ (D8 5 -type) phases formed high levels W Ta. Single-phase...

The Ni content is a crucial factor for the development of γ′-strengthened Co-based superalloys and some studies have systematically addressed its influence on various properties in model superalloys. In this paper, we report first time Co/Ni ratio more advanced nine-component superalloy ERBOCo-1: exchanging Co Co/Ni-based while keeping other alloying elements constants has big variety material properties. elemental segregation after casting slightly pronounced alloy with higher Ni-content....

Co-base superalloys are considered as promising high temperature materials besides the well-established Ni-base superalloys. However, Ni appears to be an indispensable alloying element also in To address influence of base elements on deformation behaviour, high-temperature compressive creep experiments were performed a single crystal alloy series that was designed exhibit varying Co/Ni ratio and constant Al, W Cr content. Creep tests at 900 °C 250 MPa resulting microstructures defect...

The defect evolution associated with an anomalous work hardening behavior of a single crystalline quaternary Co-Al-W-Ta superalloy at 950 °C was investigated by transmission electron microscopy. As plastic deformation is initially confined to the γ matrix channels, plateau arises in stress-strain curve after yielding. At about 1% strain, extensive shearing γ′ precipitates under superlattice stacking fault formation occurs leading extreme rates up 12 GPa and total increase stress 200 MPa....

Understanding the influence of γ′ and secondary-phase fractions on mechanical properties superalloys is very important to optimize these high-strength materials. So far, this has not been systematically investigated for novel class Co-based superalloys. In study, a Co–Al–W–Ta model alloy series was designed with compositions γ/γ′ tie-line an increasing volume fraction up 70% after heat treatment at 900 °C, while few alloys are unexpectedly out two-phase region additional secondary phase 15%....

Abstract Numerical methods can accelerate the design of alloys with improved material properties. One approach is coupling multi-criteria optimization CALPHAD-based models alloy While this technique has already yielded promising new Nickel-base superalloys, applicability to CoNi-base not yet been investigated. These show properties for application as wrought high-temperature materials. We designed three which were optimized either high strength or chemical homogeneity. The cast, and...
