ABSTRACT<br />
Investigations of the Microstructural Stability of Wrought <strong>Ni</strong>-(<strong>Fe</strong>)-Based Superalloys<br />
for Steam Turbine Rotor Applications beyond 700 °C<br />
by Tomáš Seliga<br />
There is a continuous trend to improve the efficiency of mo<strong>der</strong>n power plants with steam<br />
turbine require operating steam temperature from 700 to 720°C. For substantial parts like<br />
turbine rotors and discs this means increased requirements on the high temperature resistance,<br />
which can not longer be fulfilled by the presently used steel. As new materials for the<br />
components, which are thermo-mechanically loaded, only <strong>Ni</strong>-based superalloys are suitable<br />
for their fabrication, structure stability and thermo-mechanical characteristics.<br />
With view on creep and creep crack growth resistance as suitable candidates in the context a<br />
DFG research project wrought <strong>Ni</strong>-based superalloy Waspaloy and <strong>Ni</strong>-<strong>Fe</strong>-based alloy Inconel<br />
706 were selected, which exhibited different hardening mechanisms. Waspaloy is a<br />
γ’-hardened material with small portion of carbides on the grain boundaries. Inconel 706 is a<br />
particle hardened alloy with a very complex microstructure, it consists of γ’, γ’’-particle,<br />
η-phase und carbides. Concerning to their castability, forgeability, creep and creep crack<br />
growth and microstructural stability these candidate materials have been investigated and<br />
modelled.<br />
The knowledge about their long time stability of the microstructure, castability, forgeability<br />
and mechanical properties leads to the two new modification (Waspaloy→DT750 and Inconel<br />
706→DT706). The modification of the Waspaloy to DT 750 served better castability<br />
(elimination of the Freckle formation). An improvement of the long-term stability of the<br />
microstructure was not necessary, by a changed heat treatment was reached a homogeneous,<br />
monomodale γ’-particle distribution. The modification of Inconel 706 to DT 706 served to<br />
stabilize the γ’-phase and to reduce of the γ’’ phase without suppressing the cellular η-phase<br />
colonies on the grain boundaries.<br />
This work presents the test results for the structural long-term stability of the mentioned<br />
materials and their modifications. In this paper influences of heat treatments and thermal<br />
exposure on the microstructure and consequences for the mechanical behaviour will be<br />
discussed.
