The structures formed during equilibrium solidification and sintering process of nickel base superalloy IN-100 were investigated.
The results obtained were as follows:
(1) During equilibrium solidification, four kinds of reaction, P
1 (1610-1583K), P
2 (1583-1546K), P
3 (1546-1528K), P
4 (1528-1483K), were detected by differential thermal analysis. Primary γ and eutectic γ-γ' were formed by the reactions, P
1 and P
2 respectively. The γ phase was formed by the P
3 reaction, and the Zr rich and γ phases were formed by the P
4 reaction.
(2) During sintering process, γ' and γ were formed by the 1st (1498-1523K) melting reaction. γ was formed by the 2nd (1523-1548K) melting reaction, and γ-γ'eutectic was formed by the 3rd (1548-l572K) melting reaction.
(3) Phases formed by the melting reactions, 2nd and 3rd, during sintering process corresponded to those formed by the reactions, P
3 and P
2 during equilibrium solidification, respectively.
(4) Phases formed by the 1st melting reaction during sintering process were different from those formed by the P4 reaction during equilibrium solidification, because IN-100 powder used in this study was prepared by rapid cooling.
