Abstract
The improvement of creep-rupture properties by serrated grain boundaries is investigated using wrought cobalt-based HS-21 alloys in the temperature range 816 to 1038° C (1500 to 1900°F). Serrated grain-boundaries are produced in the early stage of the grain-boundary reaction (GBR) by a heat treatment. Specimens with serrated grain boundaries have superior creep-rupture properties compared with those with normal straight grain boundaries. The rupture lives of specimens with serrated grain boundaries are more than twice as long as those of specimens with straight grain boundaries. The rupture elongation is considerably improved by serrated grain boundaries especially at lower temperatures. A ductile grain-boundary fracture is observed in specimens with serrated grain boundaries, while brittle grain boundary facets prevail in specimens with straight grain boundaries.
