摘要

The present study focuses on the evolution of prior particle boundaries (PPB) and grain growth in a Ni-based superalloy processed by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and their influence on ductility. Ni-based superalloys made by Powder Metallurgy present powder heredities such as inclusions at prior particle boundaries (PPBs) that are detrimental to mechanical properties because there are preferential sites for crack initiation. Some previous works tried to remove these PPBs in the final microstructure with different techniques, especially using grain growth. The following strategy has been undertaken using a new Ni-based superalloy densified by SPS and heat treated in the super-solvus and the super-solidus domains. Tensile tests and microstructural characterisations (SEM, EBSD and EDS) have been performed on as-SPS and after the two aforementioned heat treatments. Grain growth enables the reduction of PPB structures but does not improve high-temperature ductility.
