SEM was used to determine the initiation site and the failure mechanism. Evolution of the microstructure was investigated by TEM observation. The results show that fatigue limit of DD6 alloy with 0.34%Hf is a little smaller than that of the alloy with 0.10%Hf. The fatigue cracks initiated on the surface or near the surface of the specimens. The crack would propagate along { 111 } octahedral slip planes, rather than perpendicular to the loading axis of specimen. Typical fatigue striation formed in steady propagation of fatigue crack. The fracture mechanisms of the high cycle fatigue of DD6 alloys with 0.10%Hf and 0.34%Hf are quasi-cleavage fracture. Different types of dislocation structures were developed during high cycle fatigue deformation.展开更多

In this paper, the interlayer alloys for DD6 TLP bonding were designed. The alloy foils with thickness 40 μm ~ 60 μm, width 4 mm were prepared by using a single roller rapid solidification apparatus and the TLP bonding of DD6 was conducted. Then the joint microstructure and alloying elements diffusion behaviors were analyzed. The results indicate that microstructures of interlayer alloys prepared are fine and homogeneous, the melting point range of alloys from 1070°C to 1074°C and their melting temperature interval is merely 20°C, when the chemical composition of alloys are 1.5 ~ 2.0Cr, 3.2 ~ 4.0W, 3.7 ~ 4.5Co, 2.2 ~ 3.0Al, 0.7 ~ 1.0Mo, 3.2B, remain Ni (wt%). When the welding parameters are bonding temperature 1200?C, holding time 8.0 hour and welding pressure 0.3 MPa, the compacted joints obtained and the microstructure of TLP bonding seams were similar to base metal. The bonding joint is composed of weld center zone, isothermal solidification zone and diffusion-affected zone. Within joint, the elements diffusion is sufficient and borides in the diffusion zone are fewer.展开更多

The results show that the equiaxed recrystallization grains form in the 7 phase region where the as-cast γ＇ phases have been dissolved completely, and cellular recrystallization forms in the region where the ascast γ＇ phases have been dissolved partially. The cellular recrystallization area consists of cellular grains, and the cellular grain consists of cubic γ＇ phase, lamellar γ＇ phase and γ＋γ＇. The coexistence of the equiaxed recrystallization zones and cellular recrystallization zones is a re- crystallized characteristic of the cold worked single crystal samples which are heat treated at a temperature lower than the solu- tion temperature. When the heating temperature is higher than 1 150 ℃, with the increase of heat treating temperature, the equiaxed recrystallization zone expands, whereas the cellular recrystallization zone shrinks. All the deformed regions are consumed by equiaxed recrystallization after annealing at solution temperature.展开更多

The transverse stress rupture properties and fracture hehaviour of the alloy at 760 ℃/758 MPa, 850 ℃/550 MPa and 980 ℃/250 MPa were investigated and compared with those of longitudinal specimens. The transverse stress rupture lives are corresponding with the longitudinal stress rupture lives at 760 ℃/758 MPa and 850 ℃/550 MPa. The transverse stress rupture lives are slightly less than the longitudinal stress rupture lives at 980 ℃/ 250 MPa. The fracture mechanism of the transverse stress rupture of the alloy at 760 ℃/758 MPa shows quasi-cleav- age mode and the fracture mechanism at 980 ℃/250 MPa shows dimple mode, while the fracture mechanism at 850 ℃/ 550 MPa shows quasi-cleavage and dimple mixture mode. At higher temperature and lower stress, the microeracks are easier to initiate and interconnect in the transverse specimen than those in longitudinal specimen because there are interdendritic regions perpendicular to the axis of stress.展开更多

The long term aging of the specimens after full heat treatment was performed at 1040℃for 800 h. The effect of Hf on the microstructure and stress rupture properties under 980℃/250 MPa of the alloy after long term aging was investigated. The results show that the γ＇ coarsening and rafting and no topologically close packed phase （TCP） are observed in the microstructures of DD6 alloy with different Hf contents after aged at 1 040℃ for 800 h. It indicates that DD6 alloy with different Hf contents all possesses good microstructure stability. With increasing Hf content the rupture life after long term aging turns shorter and the elongation represents the increasing first and decreasing afterwards. The fracture mechanism of the alloy with different Hf contents at 980℃/250 MPa all shows dimple model. The influence of the microstructures on the stress rupture properties of the alloy is also discussed.展开更多

Microstructure evolution and fracture mechanism were examined by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The results show that the tensile strength decreases slightly with increasing temperature from 20 ℃ to 400 ℃. The tensile strength of the alloy increases with the increase of temperature from 400 ℃ to 800 ℃. Above 800 ℃, the yield strength of the alloy decreases greatly with increasing temperature. The elongation and contraction of area almost present opposite tendency in contrast to changes of the tensile strength. At lower and intermediate temperature （from 20 ℃ to 850 ℃）, the tensile fracture mechanism shows quasi-cleavage mode, while at high temperature （980 ℃ and 1 100 ℃）, it is dimple mode. The γ＇ precipitate morphology still maintains cubic after tensile fracture at lower and intermediate temperature. The γ＇ phase changes into rectangular solid at high temperature. The γ＇ phase is sheared by anti-phase boundary （APB） or stacking faults at lower and intermediate temperature. At high temperature, dislocations overcome γ＇ through by-passing mechanism.展开更多
