Abstract
The formation of an ultrafine-grained structure in the heat-resistant nickel-based EK61 superalloy makes it possible to realize the effect of low-temperature superplasticity. This is important for the development of resource-saving technologies for forming hollow products of complex configuration. The study of mechanical properties of the nickel-based EK61 superalloy with ultrafine-grained structure under conditions of uniaxial tension and compression at temperatures of 650 – 850°C and strain rates of 10−3 – 10−4 s−1 was carried out. The process of superplastic forming (SPF) under conditions of low-temperature superplasticity of ultrafine-grained sheet blanks from the EK61 superalloy using cylindrical matrix has been studied. It was found that after SPF, a homogeneous equiaxed ultrafine-grained duplex structure is preserved in the samples.
