Effect of Scale Factor on the Structure and Mechanical Properties of Nickel β-Alloy Produced by Centrifugal SHS Casting
摘要
Abstract—The chemical and phase compositions, structure and mechanical properties of an alloy based on the NiAl—Cr—Co system (base–2.5Mo–1.5Re–1.5Ta–0.2Ti) obtained by centrifugal SHS casting in a pilot industrial plant have been studied. The results of the study were analyzed in comparison with similar parameters for an alloy of the same composition, but synthesized in a laboratory SHS plant and having a smaller mass of 0.8 ± 0.1 kg as compared to the mass of a large-sized ingot of 4.7 ± 0.1 kg. The large-sized ingot with chemical and phase compositions uniform by volume is reported to have been produced, its metal demonstrating similar kinetics and heat resistance at 1150°C (30 h) at different distances from the center. It was found that the heat resistance of the alloy decreased with ingot mass increasing from 55 ± 3 g/m2 for the laboratory ingot to 19 ± 3 g/m2 for the large ingot. The strength properties of the metal of the large ingot during compression testing were
