Methods for determining the various thermodynamic and kinetic parameters required for the modeling of γ ′ precipitation in powder-metallurgy (PM), nickel-base superalloys are summarized. These parameters comprise the composition of the γ ′ phase, the γ ′ solvus temperature/equilibrium solvus approach curve, the free energy (ΔG*) associated with the decomposition of the γ matrix to form γ ′, the γ/γ ′ interfacial energy σ, and an effective diffusivity for use in nucleation, growth, and coarsening calculations.Techniques to obtain the material data include phase extraction (for the average composition of γ ′) and heat-treatment/quantitative metallography (for a two-parameter fit of the solvus approach curve). With regard to ΔG*, two methods, one based on the instantaneous composition of the γ and γ ′ phases and the other on the enthalpy of transformation and the solvus temperature, are summarized. It is shown that the interfacial energy σ can be determined from the nucleation-onset temperature as indicated by on-cooling specific-heat measurements. Last, the use of a limited set of static-coarsening measurements to estimate the effective diffusivity is described. The application of the various protocols is illustrated for typical first-, second-, and third-generation PM superalloys, i.e., IN-100, René 88, and LSHR/ME3, respectively.
