The cast structure of a K465 nickel-based superalloy with different temperatures of melt superheating treatment was studied. It is shown that melt superheating treatment plays a significant role in the grain size and carbide morphology. With increasing melt superheating temperature (below 2023 K), the grain size increases obviously and the carbide morphology is changed from a blocky to a script-like shape. However, when the melt superheating temperature is between 2023 K and 2123 K, the grain size decreases gradually, and the morphology of the MC carbide changes back to the blocky appearance. The content of W is also influenced by melt superheating treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
