Abstract

The high-temperature durability performance plays a crucial role in the applications of single-crystal (SX) superalloys repaired by laser-directed energy deposition (L-DED). A specialized heat treatment process for L-DED-repaired SX superalloys was developed in this study. The effect of the newly customized heat treatment on the microstructure and high-temperature mechanical properties of DD32 SX superalloy repaired by L-DED was investigated. Results indicate that the repaired area of the newly customized heat treatment specimen still maintained a SX structure, the average size of the γ' phase was 236 nm, and the volume fraction was 69%. Obviously recrystallized grains were formed in the repair area of the standard heat treatment specimens, and carbide precipitated along the grain boundary. The size of the γ' phase was about 535 nm. The high-temperature durable life of the newly custom heat treatment specimen was about 19.09 h at 1000 °C/280 MPa, the fracture mode was microporous aggregation fracture, and the fracture location was in the repair area. The durable life of the standard heat treatment specimen was about 8.70 h, the fracture mode was cleavage fracture, and the fracture location was in the matrix area. The crack source of both specimens was interdendrite carbide.
