Abstract
This research conducted a thermal compression deformation test on two GH4169 alloy samples with 5.40wt% and 5.21wt% Nb contents respectively, under deformation temperatures ranging from 900°C to 1030°C and the strain rates of 0.04s-1, 0.08s-1. Data from the deformation test were used to study the effects of deformation temperature and strain rate on the microstructure, δ phase morphology, and δ phase evolution of both alloy samples, so as to reveal the structural evolution mechanism. The results show that the long needle-like δ phase in the alloy microstructure with high Nb content undergoes deformation fracture and decomposition fracture during deformation and compression under high temperature, with the fracture decomposition temperature being 990°C. Moreover, microstructures of alloys with low Nb content were dominated by granular δ phases; as the deformation temperature increases or the strain rate decreases, the content of the δ phase gradually decreases, causing the alloy’s dynamic recrystallization grain size and dynamic recrystallization volume fraction to gradually increase from deformation twins at low temperatures to complete recrystallization at high temperatures.
