Abstract

This article presents the results of investigation of the influence of holding temperature during the quenching process on the microstructure and superplasticity of the Co-Ni-Nb alloy. Temperature-strain rate intervals of the deformation of the superplasticity effects are stated. The optimal regimes of the preliminary treatment by quenching and rolling as well as the routine of the superplastic deformation of the Co-Ni-Nb alloy are defined. The interval of the temperatures of the precipitation, morphology, composition, type and parameters of the lattice of the secondary phase, which appears after the annealing + rolling (to 90%) Co-Ni-Nb alloy, are determined.

Highlights

  • The application of the superplasticity (SP) effect in the technology of metal treatment under pressure enables the production of metallic parts of complex configuration in a single operation

  • The microstructure of the initial state sample of the Co-Ni-Nb alloy is characterized by equigranular grains and the presence of twins, which are traced in almost every grain (Figure 1a,b)

  • In paper [10] superplasticity of the Co-Ni-Nb alloy is detected in the samples quenched at and 87% rolled at the deformation temperature 1143 K and the strain rate equals

Summary

Introduction

The application of the superplasticity (SP) effect in the technology of metal treatment under pressure enables the production of metallic parts of complex configuration in a single operation. This approach reduces energy consumption and cost of the items and increases labor productivity [1,2,3]. Most effort has been focused on mechanisms of superplasticity [6]. A practical application of the SP of alloys poses important problems to be solved: the features of the precipitation and parameters of particles of the secondary phases, as well as the detection of basic and accommodative mechanisms of superplastic deformation (SPD)
