Abstract
Selective laser melted Rene88DT specimens with columnar grains (specimen C) and near-equiaxed grains (specimen E) were fabricated, on which solution-aging and direct aging treatments were applied, respectively. The evolution of microstructures and hardness of both specimens was investigated. Results show that specimen C showed columnar grains with aspect ratio of 3.6 and 5% difference in hardness between vertical and horizontal directions, while specimen E with near-equiaxed grains (aspect ratio of 1-2) was isotropic. The as-deposited alloys consisted of γ-matrix, carbides and Laves phases. After solution-aging treatment, equiaxed grains (56 μm) with annealing twins, blocky μ phases (1 μm) and dispersively distributed γ′ (40 nm) were observed in specimen C. After direct aging treatment, rod-like γ′ phases with 40 nm in length and 15 nm in diameter were precipitated in specimen E. Specimen E showed higher hardness than specimen C because of stronger grain boundary strengthening, substructure strengthening and second-phase strengthening.
期刊介绍:
IJCMSSE is a refereed international journal that aims to provide a blend of theoretical and applied study of computational materials science and surface engineering. The scope of IJCMSSE original scientific papers that describe computer methods of modelling, simulation, and prediction for designing materials and structures at all length scales. The Editors-in-Chief of IJCMSSE encourage the submission of fundamental and interdisciplinary contributions on materials science and engineering, surface engineering and computational methods of modelling, simulation, and prediction. Papers published in IJCMSSE involve the solution of current problems, in which it is necessary to apply computational materials science and surface engineering methods for solving relevant engineering problems.
