Abstract

The excellent mechanical properties of Ni based superalloys depend upon the presence of γ’ particles (LI2 structure). Their volume fraction, spatial distribution and size determine the mechanical strength of these alloys. Ni alloys for technological applications make use of large volume fractions of precipitates where processes of coarsening and coalescence take place during service leading in some cases to deterioration of properties. Addition of different alloying elements prevents accelerated coalescence by retarding diffusion and thus improving the mechanical properties of such alloys. Coalescence can also take place under the influence of an applied stress leading to the formation of rafts of the y' phase. For example the microstructure changes during creep deformation, depending on the alloy composition, with the corresponding formation of dislocation networks and rafts of different morphologies [1]. The γ-γ’ interfaces are also different depending on the alloy composition and most likely to the local distribution of alloying elements and their strain fields.
