Abstract

ABSTRACT Nickel-based powder metallurgy superalloys with high W and high γ’ content exhibit excellent high-temperature properties, but their high deformation resistance poses significant challenges for hot processing. In this study, the hot compression behaviour of an extruded nickel-based powder superalloy FGH4109 with high W (6.1%) and high γ’ phase contents (60%) was systematically investigated at temperatures ranging from 1060 ℃ ~ 1140 ℃, strain rates from 0.001 s−1 ~1 s−1, and maximum true strains of 0.7. Combined with the hot working map and the microstructure evolution in different hot working zones, the optimal hot working window for the alloy was determined to be in the temperature range of 1060 ℃ ~ 1140 ℃ and strain rates of 0.001 s−1 ~0.012 s−1, where the power dissipation efficiency η was greater than 0.5, and the dominant deformation mechanism was discontinuous dynamic recrystallisation.
