Study on the Mechanical Performance of a Ni-Based Superalloy with Trace Rare Earth Element La Additions

Article Preview

Abstract:

The microstructures and mechanical properties of the Ni-22Cr-14W-2Mo superalloys with various La contents have been investigated. The results indicate that the grain diameters of the alloys with different La additions are similar to that of the alloy without La. It has also been found that the Vickers Hardness of the alloys increases with the increasing of the La content form 0.000% to 0.087%. The tensile properties of the alloys can be improved by La additions, whereas the σ0.2 proof strength and the elongations of the alloys first increase and then decrease with the increasing of the La content form 0.000% to 0.087%. The alloy with 0.026% La shows the best tensile properties. This result ascribes to the different types of the La-riched phases and the different sizes of them. The La-Ni intermetallic phases with large size precipitating in the alloys have deleterious effects on the improvement of the mechanical properties, if the La content is too high.
