Effect of Phosphorus on Microstructure and High Temperature Properties of a Cast Ni-base Superalloy

Abstract

Abstract: Effect of phosphorus on the microstructure and high temperature properties of a cast Ni-base superalloy M963 has been investigated. SEM observation and EDS analysis showed that P was mostly enriched in the interdendritic region, and the P-rich phase was formed in the front position of finally solidified eutectics in high P doped alloys. It was found that the P-rich phase, as preferred initiation and propagation site of cracks, could aggravate the fracture process at high temperature in high P doped alloys.Consequently, high P addition would reduce remarkably the ductility and creep life of M963 superalloy at high temperature.

Key words: Phosphorus, Cast superalloy, Microstructure, Mechanical Properties
