Effect of barothermal treatment on the crystal structure of a nickel alloy as probed by X-ray diffraction

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction analysis of a cast nickel alloy after barothermal action

“…These works analyze a change in the morphology of γ' particles [1,6,7] and the morphology and composition of carbides [5] in nickel superalloys. The crystal structures of these alloys were studied by X ray diffraction (XRD) [2,3]. The authors of these works investigated individual phase components of the alloys, whereas the misfit of the face centered cubic (fcc) lattices of the main structural constituents, namely, a γ solid solution and γ' phase particles, significantly contributes to the mechanical and high temperature properties of the alloys.…”

“…Many modern works [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] inves tigate the effect of barothermal treatment (BTT) on the formation of the γ' phase and the evolution of the morphology and chemical composition of carbides and the crystal structure of high temperature alloys due to dynamic development of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) of nickel superalloys. These works analyze a change in the morphology of γ' particles [1,6,7] and the morphology and composition of carbides [5] in nickel superalloys.…”
