EMPLOYING VARIOUS METALLOGRAPHY METHODS AT HIGH TEMPERATURE ALLOY FATIGUE TESTS EVALUATION
Journal Title: Production Engineering Archives - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
Microstructures of superalloys have dramatically changed throughout the years, as modern technology of its casting or forging has become more sophisticated. The first superalloys have polyedric microstructure consisting of gamma solid solution, some fraction of gamma prime and of course grain boundaries. As demands on higher performance of aero jet engine increases, the changes in superalloys micro-structure become more significant. A further step in microstructure evolution was directionally solidified alloys with columnar gamma prime particles. The latest microstructures are mostly monocrystalline, oriented in [001] direction of FCC gamma matrix. All microstructure changes bring necessity of proper preparation and evaluation of microstructure. Except for the already mentioned structures have gamma double prime and various carbides form can be seen. These structural parameters have mainly positive influence on important mechanical properties of superalloys. The paper deals with a microstructural evaluation of both groups of alloys – cast and as well as wrought. Micro-structure evaluation helps to describe mechanism at various loading and failure of progressive superalloys. Such an example where micro-structure evaluation is employed is fractography of failure surfaces after fatigue tests, which are examples of metallography evaluation de-scribed in this paper as a secondary objective.
