Determination of γ/γ′ Lattice Misfit in Ni-Based Single-Crystal Superalloys at High Temperatures by Neutron Diffraction
2018
Constrained γ/γ′ lattice misfit as a function of temperature (room temperature, 871 °C, 982 °C, 1093 °C, and 1204 °C) is measured by neutron diffraction on the first-generation Ni-based single-crystal superalloy Rene N4 and second-generation superalloys Rene N5, CMSX4, and PWA1484. All the alloys studied show negative misfit at temperatures above 871 °C. For Rene N4, Rene N5, and PWA1484, the misfit becomes less negative at temperatures above 1093 °C, possibly due to either the chemistry effect or internal stress relaxation. The magnitude of the misfit shows a qualitative agreement with Caron’s misfit model based on Vegard’s coefficients. The Re-free alloy Rene N4 was found to have a larger γ lattice parameter and γ/γ′ misfit due to higher fractions of Cr, Ti, and Mo. After 100 hours of annealing at high temperatures, Rene N5 shows a more negative misfit than the misfit after the standard heat treatment.
