Abstract

The present study aims at determining the temperature stability and precipitation kinetics of phases like \(\delta \)-Ni\(_3\)Nb, \(\delta \)-Ni\(_3\)Ta, \(\eta \)-Ni\(_3\)Ti, and \(\eta \)-Ni\(_3\)(Al,Nb) for potential hardening effect in nickel base superalloys for turbine discs. Two model compositions of nickel base superalloys with different Ti/Al, Nb/Al, and Ta/Al ratios were produced. These alloys were characterized using SEM and TEM. High-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction (HE-XRD) was used to follow the evolution of phases during various heat treatments. The validity of composition criteria available in the literature as well as that of TCNI7 thermodynamic database to predict the composition and temperature stability of \(\delta \) and \(\eta \) phases is discussed.

Notes

  1. TCNI7 database was only available for the present study. Several comparative calculations with TCNI8 database could be carried out as well and no significant difference in phase equilibrium in studied alloys was observed.
