Microsegregation and Rayleigh number variation during the solidification of superalloy Inconel 718

The microstructure and composition of the residual liquid at different temperatures were investigated by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer （EDX） associated with the Thermo-calc software calculation of the equilibrium phase diagrams of Inconel 718 and segregated liquid. The liquid density difference and Rayleigh number variation during solidification were estimated as well. It is found that the heavy segregation of Nb in liquid prompts the precipitation of δ and Laves phase directly from liquid and the resultant quenched liquid microstructure consists of pro-eutectic γ＋eutectic,or complete eutectic according to the content of Nb from low to high. The liquid density increases with decreasing temperature during the solidification of Inconel 718 and the liquid density difference is positive. The largest relative Rayleigh number occurs at 1320°C when the liquid fraction is about 40vol%.

镍含量对铁基激光熔覆层组织与性能的影响

通过对激光熔覆铁基合金进行成分设计和试验,获得了无裂纹熔覆层,探讨Ni元素含量变化对熔覆层物相组成、显微组织及其性能的影响。试验结果表明,三种熔覆层组织均匀,均为细密枝晶组织;不同Ni含量熔覆层的物相主要由γ-Fe相和α-Fe相组成,随着Ni含量的增加,熔覆层中γ-Fe相增加,而α-Fe相减少,熔覆层晶粒尺寸增大,表面里氏硬度降低,但抗腐蚀性能随着Ni增加而增强,熔覆层具有优良耐蚀性能的本质原因是复合氧化膜的钝化作用对腐蚀介质产生机械阻隔作用。

通过激光工艺制备铁基合金无裂纹熔覆层,探讨C、V+W几种微量元素含量变化对熔覆层物相组成、显微组织及其性能的影响。试验结果表明,微量元素对熔覆层组织影响不大,熔覆层组织均匀,均为细密枝晶组织;在一定范围内,熔覆层的硬度、腐蚀性能随着C含量的升高分别增加、降低;保持C0.1%含量不变,适当降低Ni元素、增加V+W元素,熔覆层硬度增加,但腐蚀性能降低。
