This research investigates the microstructure and defects of powder metallurgy (PM) nickel-based superalloys prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The densification, microstructural evolution, and precipitate phase evolution processes of FGH96 su...
The aim of this study was to gain a deep understanding of the microstructure-mechanical relationship between solid-state sintering and full-melting processes. The IN718 superalloy was fabricated by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and selective laser mel...
The effects of oxygen content on the microstructure and creep properties of the FGH96 superalloy were investigated. When oxygen content increased from 135 ppm to 341 ppm, the prior particle boundary (PPB) rose from degree 2 to degree 3, the size of t...
Oxide dispersion strengthened ferritic steel is considered an important structural material in fusion reactors due to its excellent resistance to radiation and oxidation. Fine and dispersed oxides can be introduced into the matrix via the powder meta...
The microstructure with homogeneously distributed grains and less prior particle boundary (PPB) precipitates is always desired for powder metallurgy superalloys after hot isostatic pressing (HIPping). In this work, we studied the effects of HIPping p...
The prior particle boundaries (PPBs), as one of the typical defects in the nickel-based powder metallurgy superalloy, largely affect the microstructure and thus properties/performance of alloys. However, the effect of PPBs on the microstructure evolu...
The effect of the hot oscillatory pressing (HOPing) temperature on the microstructure and tensile behavior of the powder metallurgy superalloys was investigated and compared with those of the hot pressed (HPed) sample. The results show that as the HO...
Second phase particles (SPP) play an essential role in controlling grain size and properties of polycrystalline nickel base superalloys. The understanding of the behavior of these precipitates is of prime importance in predicting microstructure evolu...
The mechanical properties of (Ti, Nb)B/Ti2AlNb composites were expected to improve further by utilizing spark plasma sintering (SPS) and inducing the novel three-dimensional network architecture. In this study, (Ti, Nb)B/Ti2AlNb composites with the n...
Astroloy is a Ni-based superalloy with high-volume fraction of γ′, which gives high temperature properties but reduces its forgeability. Therefore, powder metallurgy manufacturing processes such as Near Net Shape HIPping are the most suit...
In this study, Ti-48Al-3Nb-1.5Ta powders were manufactured from cast bars by the supreme-speed plasma rotating electrode process (SS-PREP) and used to prepare hot isostatically pressed (HIPed) material at 1050–1260 °C with 150 MPa for 4 h....
A novel nickel-based powder metallurgy superalloy was processed using two different thermal–mechanical processes, including hot isostatic pressed (As-HIP) and hipped + hot extruded + isothermally-forged (IF) heat treatments following two proces...
