Hot Isostatic Consolidation of P/M Superalloys
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
The kinetics of powder consolidation, or densification, and the powder morphological changes ocurring during hot isostatic pressing (HIP) are studied as a function of particle size distribution and hold time at HIP temperature for the nickel base superalloy RENE-95. In order to understand the extent of individual powder particle deformation during consolidation and its effect on subsequent prior particle boundaries (PPB), particle size distribution was studied as a variable. Particle size distributions studied include monosized (75–90 um), bimodal ( 75–90 um and 33–35 um) and commercial (<104 um) size distributions. The experimental results of HIP densification kinetics are compared with a newly developed analytical deformation mechanism model for HIP consolidaiton which takes into account the effect of a distribution of particle sizes on the kinetics of densification.
