Abstract

The room temperature tensile behavior of solution strengthened Ni-20Cr-18W wrought superalloy was investigated by a tensile testing machine. Its microstructure evolution and fractures were studied by OM and SEM. Besides, XRD was used to identify carbide type. The results indicate that as-cast structure is typical dendrite. As-forged structure is a number of fine equiaxed crystal grains whose average size is 60~70 μm (ASTM 5). M6C-type carbides randomly disperse on the grain boundary and they can improve the strength of the superalloy due to pining. Lots of M6C-type carbides are further broken in tensile deformation process, causing the deterioration of external load distribution and a lower the ductility of the superalloy. The room temperature fractographs of samples show a typical dimple-ductile fracture.
