Abstract
To meet the pressing needs concerning the optimization of the performance of powder metallurgy (P/M) superalloys for turbine disc applications, the effects of solution temperature on a novel high γ′ volume fraction P/M superalloy FGH 4107 were investigated. The results indicated that the size of the γ′ precipitates decreased dramatically as the solution temperature increased from 1160 to 1200 °C. Theoretical calculations showed that the precipitation strengthening played a dominant role in enhancing the strength of the high γ′ volume fraction P/M superalloy, and a higher solution temperature was beneficial for the modification of the γ′ phase distribution during the following cooling and aging process.
