Abstract
The evolution of microstructures caused by heat treatment on Ni-based superalloy CM 247 LC was examined, and the creep behaviors were analyzed at various temperature and stress conditions. Secondary γ′ hardly precipitated in aged specimens subjected to solution treatment, but secondary γ′ precipitated in specimen subjected to two-step aging at 1080 °C and 871 °C without solution treatment, because the size and volume fraction of precipitated γ′ particles and the width of the γ channel depend on the heat-treatment path. The creep properties of the specimen subjected to two-step aging without solution heat treatment under low temperature and high stress was the best, owing to the uniform deformation and damage-relieving effect of the fine secondary γ′ particles in the γ channel and the eutectic γ/γ′ phase. At and above 871 °C, the effect of γ′ rafting on the creep properties was very important, and the creep lifetimes of the solution-treated specimens with better rafting were longer than those of the aged specimens.
