Abstract
The heat treatment of a directionally solidified superalloy under high temperature gradient with different dendritic size was studied. The evolution rules of each phase in DZ125 alloy after heat treatment were analyzed. The results show that γ' phase presents cube and uniform distribution after heat treatment. Its size is about 0.4μm and its area ratio is about 65%. MC carbide transforms into MC(2) carbide with high concentration of Hf. The morphology of MC carbide changes from Chinese-script to block and its size reduces gradually with increasing solidification rate under directional solidification. There is bulk γ' phase around carbide. MC(2) carbide and γ' phase in the grain boundary form chain along grain boundary, and effectively retard grain boundary sliding. γ+γ' eutectic is basically eliminated by solution treatment and only a little γ+γ' eutectic exists around carbide.
