Conclusions
-
1.
Separate and combined additions of boron, cerium, and zirconium to alloy KhN65VBMYu refine the macrostructure and change the phase composition and kinetics of structural transformations.
-
2.
Additions of boron, cerium, and zirconium increase the creep strength at operating temperatures and the scale resistance at temperatures above 800°. With separate alloying the best heat resistance is obtained with 0.15% Ce, and with combined alloying with 0.15% Ce+0.1% B.
-
3.
Combined alloying with boron, cerium, and zirconium increases the heat resistance of cast turbine wheels for turbocompressors by a factor of 1.5–2 and increases the service life of engines.
