X-ray Diffractometric Determination of Lattice Misfit Between γ and γ' Phases in Ni-Base Superalloys
Conventional X-ray Source vs. Synchrotron Radiation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Abstract
The lattice misfits between γ and γ' phases in Ni-base superalloys (single crystal) were accurately determined for filings of specimens by using both a conventional X-ray tube focusing diffractometer(CXRFD) and a synchrotron-radiation parallel beam X-ray diffractometer (SRPXRD). All reflection peaks measured with the CXRFD were in a cluster of overlapping peaks because of the very small differences in the lattice parameters of both phases and the instrumental broadening due to X-ray optics including the spectral distribution of Xray source such as CuKα doublet. The deconvolution method was applied to remove the instrumental broadening from the peaks measured with the CXRFD. The window functions for the deconvolution method were calculated from CuKα doublet reflection of Si standard by a nonlinear least-square method.
The instrumental broadening of SRPXRD was much smaller than that of CXRFD since the monochromatic X-rays produced single peak profiles and constant profile shape over a wide 2θ range. A profile fitting with a pseudo-Voigt function was used to determine 2θ angles to 0.0005 deg. for the synchrotron powder data. The peak angle and shape reflected from γ' phases in γ-matrix and those fron electrochemically extracted γ'-phase were significantly different.
