Extract

The characterization of the microstructure evolution during welding of nickel base superalloys is required for efficient reuse and reclamation of used and failed components. Previous atom probe analysis of electron-beam and laser-beam welds revealed complex alloying elemental partitioning between the γ and γ phases. Rapid cooling conditions in the weld leads to non-equilibrium partitioning and large amplitude Cr and Co levels in the γ phase. These results indicated that there is a strong relationship between weld cooling rate and the precipitation of γ′ precipitates from the γ phase. To understand and develop predictive models, a systematic investigation of the microstructure evolution in CM247DS alloy under controlled thermomechanical conditions are being performed. This paper describes some recent results on the elemental partitioning between γ and γ′ phases obtained with atom probe microanalysis.
