Formation of structure and properties of superalloys during electron-beam additive manufacturing
摘要
The samples of simplified-geometry products are fabricated by wire-feed electron beam additive manufacturing from heat resistant alloys based on nickel, nickel-chromium and cobalt-chromium. For the case of the nickel alloy, it is shown that this approach makes it possible to form a microstructure and mechanical properties close to those of a heat-treated cast material. For the nickel-chromium alloy, it is necessary to carry out a subsequent heat treatment in order to form the strengthening phases, since the additive-growth conditions prevent their formation. It is noted that the structural phase state and mechanical properties of the cobalt-based alloy are comparable to those of the materials manufactured by traditional methods, however, a further optimization of the technological parameters of electron-beam additive manufacturing is required.
