Abstract

Superalloy powders of an IN 792 plus Hf type alloy produced from Rapid Solidification (RSR) and Argon Atomized process (AA) techniques are analyzed and compared according to particle size. Characterization of powders include surface and interior morphology, particle size and void distribution, cooling microstructures, microcrystallinity, microsegretation and especially dendrite arm spacing and cooling rates. It is found that, for the alloy studied, RSR cooling rates are a factor of only two to four greater than those for AA, regardless of particle size.
