Grain boundary (GB) strengthening elements, such as B, C, and Zr have been added in small amounts to nickel-base superalloys. However, their strengthening effects have not been quantified and no specific design principles for GB chemistry have been reported. In this study, we propose a practical computational approach for the GB segregation engineering of nickel-base superalloys. Considering the partitioning of alloying elements into coexisting phases (strengthening phases, carbides, etc.), the equilibrium composition of a high-angle GB was computed for several nickel-base superalloys using a calculation of phase diagrams database. The computational results showed that B and Mo were enriched at the GB in most of the investigated alloys. The creep rupture strengths of the investigated alloys were predicted using the computed GB composition as a regression model feature. The regression coefficients for the features confirm that B segregation at the GB has a non-negligible strengthening effect on nickel-base superalloys.

Friction stir welding of Haynes 282 Ni superalloy by using a novel hemispherical tool.

In the present investigation, friction stir welding (FSW) of a gamma prime (γ') strengthened Haynes 282 nickel-base superalloy by using a novel hemispherical tool is documented. A joint efficiency of ~ 96% was achieved in the as-welded condition, which further increased to ~ 100% after two-step post-weld aging heat treatment. An extremely fine (~ 2 μm) grained microstructure was observed in the FSWed region compared with the coarse (~ 48 μm) grain base metal region.

Laser metal deposition is a promising way to repair the surface defects of single-crystal components in turbo engines. Understanding the mechanisms and improving the efficiency of the repair have been long-standing problems. In this study, the influence of the substrate orientation on the laser metal deposition (LMD) was investigated and its effect on repair layer-step was examined.

The residual stress generated during heat treatment of nickel-base superalloys will affect their service performance and introduce primary cracks. In a component with high residual stress, a tiny amount of plastic deformation at room temperature can release the stress to a certain extent. However, the stress-releasing mechanism is still unclear.

As a technology for micro-deformed solid-phase connection, transient liquid phase (TLP) diffusion bonding plays a key role in the manufacture of heating components of aero engines. However, the harmful brittle phase and high hardness limit the application of TLP diffusion bonding in nickel-based superalloys. In this paper, a new strategy in which a low-boron and high-titanium interlayer can restrain the brittle phase and reduce the hardness of the TLP-diffusion-bonded joint is proposed.
