The Influence of the Re-Melting Times on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties for Revert Alloy K452

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of the re-melting times on chemical composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties of revert alloy K452 were systemically investigated. It was shown that the key factor in the engineering application was the control of gas content and porosities level in revert alloy. By an advancing technology in combination with the superheat treatment, adding a small amount of alloying elements such as C, Al, Ti, and using ceramic foam filters during vacuum induction melting, the composition and mechanical properties of the revert alloy in addition of 50% scrap were similar to that in the virgin alloy, which has successfully been used in applications for nozzle vanes of some new gas turbines.
