Review of HAYNES® 282® alloy for supercritical CO2 structural applications

In this paper, HAYNES® 282® alloy (282® alloy) properties, microstructure, high temperature oxidation resistance, weldability, and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) code case highlights are reviewed. The long term performance of high temperature, high strength, creep resistant alloys is critical to the success of supercritical carbon dioxide equipment. Several modern power generation technologies require alloys that can operate continuously at or above 700oC. 282® alloy is a precipitation strengthened nickel based super alloy that meets these requirements. The results of 282® alloy research reviewed in this paper include longterm cyclic oxidation behavior in air and sCO2, independent research and validation of 100k hour creep life, and successful welding of the alloy in the age hardened condition. The latter is critical for joining of hardened components (flanges, piping, heat exchanger internal, etc.) and field repair. Several highlights from the code case for this ASMEapproved material are also presented.

Evolution of carbide precipitates in Haynes® 282 superalloy processed by wire arc additive manufacturing

Precipitation hardening regulated with heat treatments is a critical technique for tuning the mechanical properties of Ni-based superalloys fabricated with additive manufacturing, where mechanical deformation is no longer viable for microstructural refinement. As one of the key precipitates, carbides prevail in the additively manufactured alloys, whose precipitation kinetics remain largely vague. This work studies the influence of heat treatments on the evolution of MC- and M 23 C 6 -type carbides within a Haynes® 282 superalloy prepared by wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). SEM-EDS analysis was performed to identify the evolution pathways of the carbides, and TEM and XRD characterizations were carried out to track the crystallographic features. The MC-type carbides are originally present in the as-printed alloy, which distribute uniformly across the whole material and remain largely unchanged in size during the heat treatments. By contrast, the incipiently non-existent M 23 C 6 -type carbides precipitate during an aging treatment at 1010 °C, which majorly extend along the grain boundaries as kinetically feasible sites. Further experimental and computational analysis confirms the enhancing effect of the M 23 C 6 -type carbides on the Vickers hardness. For the first time, this work revealed the evolution pathways of carbides within a Haynes® 282 superalloy prepared by WAAM, providing critical information for tunning the microstructure and mechanical properties. Finally, the carbide evolution kinetics established in this work can be potentially extended to other alloys prepared with WAAM, providing critical information to prevent mechanical failures associated with carbide coarsening.

Properties of a thick-section narrow-gap gas tungsten arc weld of cast Haynes 282

Abstract A 50.8-mm-deep gas tungsten arc weld was made with matching filler metal in cast Haynes 282 alloy. The narrow-gap joint was filled with 104 weld beads. Visual and dye-penetrant inspection of cross-weld specimens indicated that the cast base metal contained numerous casting defects. No visible indications of physical defects were found in the weld deposit. The weld heat-affected zone was characterized by microcracking and localized recrystallization. The cause of the cracking could not be determined. Hardness testing showed that a softened region in the as-welded heat-affected zone was nearly eliminated by post-weld heat treatment. Tensile testing up to 816 °C showed that cross-weld specimen strengths ranged from 57 to 79% of the cast base metal tensile strength. The stress-rupture strengths of cross-weld specimens are within 20% of base metal reference data. Failures of both tensile and stress-rupture specimens occurred in the base metal.

The Influence of Shielding Gas on the Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) of Ni-Based Superalloy Haynes 282

Wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) enables building large near-net-shaped parts using fast deposition rates and is attractive due to the potential cost and schedule savings. Haynes® 282® is a Ni-based superalloy with wide application in advanced power generation systems for its superior high temperature mechanical properties. High-quality WAAM H282 parts are achieved through careful process optimization, hence, we have focused on systematically characterizing the processing-structure-properties relationships over a wide range of wire-feed and travel speeds using a standard Ar30He shielding gas. Here the influence of adding 0.25-3% of H2 and CO2 to Ar-30He standard on our findings is examined. Multi-bead tracks were used to screen 20+ gas combinations to examine impact on wettability, porosity, oxidation, and grain structures. Improved multi-tracks are observed for gases with up to 1% H2 and 0.25% CO2. WAAM H282 builds within this range are examined to reveal differences in microstructure as evaluated with CT, SEM-EDS, and EBSD.

Location-Specific Microstructures and Properties of Haynes 282 Alloy with Laser-Wire DED Processing

In this work, the location-specific microstructures in terms of grain morphology, texture, γ′ precipitates, carbides, and residual strains were investigated in a series of laser-wire direct energy deposition (LW-DED) Haynes 282 alloys with varied processing parameters. A bimodal grain distribution was found in these as-printed and heat-treated alloys with columnar grains within the layers and fine equiaxed grains at the interlayer regions. Dominant <001> texture along the build direction with more obvious <111> orientation preference exists at the bottom layers, compared to the top layers. The gradient γ′-precipitates size distribution contributes predominantly to the observed gradient hardness distribution in the as-printed samples. The heat-treated 282 exhibit comparable yield strengths to those conventionally-processed counterparts, while the observed small deviation in their yield strengths is attributed to the Hall-Petch effect. This work establishes the correlation between location-specific microstructures and mechanical properties, providing valuable insights into future printing parameters and heat-treatment optimization.

The performance of additively manufactured Haynes 282 in supercritical CO 2

The use of supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO 2 ) as a working fluid is garnering interest in next generation power production systems due to the possibility of increased operational efficiencies and lower associated costs. Its implementation requires alloys with excellent high temperature strength and corrosion resistance, which makes Haynes 282® (H282) a suitable candidate. With increasing adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) in the energy industry, there is a need to investigate long-term sCO2 exposure on AM produced materials. Additively manufactured H282 (AM-H282) samples built using laser powder bed fusion in two different orientations were analyzed through imaging, gravimetric analysis, and room-temperature tensile testing before and after 1000-h exposure to CO 2 at 750 °C and 20 MPa. Performed imaging included observation of the sample surfaces and of the material bulk (cross sections) through means of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy. In comparison to wrought H282, it was found that the exposed material exhibited a similar Cr 2 O 3 oxide protective layer about 2 μm in thickness with additional top-surface TiO 2 oxide and carbon-rich precipitates. It was also similarly observed that internal oxidation was present but limited to a depth of 20 μm, and a 1–3 μm γ’ denuded region appeared to surround all internal and surface oxidation. Thermal aging effects were noted with the precipitation of needle-like structures in the γ/γ’ matrix and a coarsening of the γ’ precipitates from 28 nm to 73 nm. Mass measurements analyzing oxide precipitation revealed a larger increase compared to wrought, representing an approximate 20% difference. Tensile testing results showed similar behavior to wrought with a slight increase in yield strength and a large reduction in elongation in the exposed samples.

Microstructure and strength of a thick-section gas-tungsten arc weld in cast Haynes® 282® alloy

A 50-mm deep gas tungsten arc weld was made with matching filler metal in cast Haynes 282 alloy. The narrow gap joint was filled with 104 weld beads. The weld deposit was of high quality with no visible indications of physical defects. The weld heat-affected zone was characterized by microcracking and localized recrystallization. Hardness testing showed that a softened region in the as-welded heat-affected zone was nearly eliminated by post-weld heat treatment. Tensile testing up to 816°C showed that cross-weld specimen strengths were about 80% of the yield strength of the original cast base metal. The rupture strengths of cross-weld specimens are within 20% of wrought base metal reference data.

The microscopic mechanisms of high temperature oxidation of Haynes 282

Nickel-based superalloy finds widespread applications in aerospace and extreme environments. They are known for their high temperature oxidation resistance under extended periods. However, the oxide formation and evolution which sets the stages for the later parabolic oxidation kinetics is not fully understood. This paper aims to provide new insights into the transient stage oxidation mechanism and kinetics of a typical Ni-based superalloy (Haynes 282). While tracking the chemical and microstructural evolution under micrometer scale at 800°C, we show that the oxide scale and its grain boundary species change significantly during the initial stages of oxidation and can have a profound impact on the oxidation kinetics. Cr 2 O 3 forms initially at the grain boundary along with minor amount of Al 2 O 3 . Then, the grain boundary region is enriched with copious amounts TiO 2 while Cr migrates away from the grain boundary. A noticeable change in the isothermal oxidation kinetics observed likely results from a mechanistic change from uniform surface oxidation to preferential outward diffusion of Ti 4+ ions through the grain boundary. Through first-principles calculations combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy, we confirmed the preferential outward diffusion of Ti 4+ ions as the diffusion barrier is lower for Ti than Cr along the grain boundaries. In conclusion, these findings highlight the critical role of early-stage grain boundary oxidation dynamics in dictating the long-term oxidation resistance of Ni-based superalloys and provide a foundation for future strategies to enhance their performance in extreme environments.

Linking microstructure to creep behavior in vertically and horizontally built LPBF Haynes 282 compared with wrought material via θ -projection

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) has emerged as a promising route for fabricating intricate geometries in high-performance alloys. Haynes 282 (H282) is a strong candidate for applications such as heat exchangers or engines due to its excellent creep strength and thermal stability; however, the long-term creep behavior of LPBF-processed H282 remains poorly understood. In this study, the θ -projection method is used to analyze and extrapolate the creep behavior of vertically built LPBF, horizontally built LPBF, compared to wrought H282 tested at 816 °C. Vertically built LPBF H282 exhibits the lowest minimum creep rate (MCR), while the horizontally built condition shows a higher MCR comparable to that of wrought H282. Despite these differences, both LPBF conditions exhibit significantly shorter rupture life and reduced rupture strain than the wrought material, with the most severe degradation observed in the horizontal builds, consistent with an earlier onset of tertiary creep and accelerated strain-rate evolution. Microstructural characterization reveals that both LPBF and wrought H282 exhibit abundant twin-related boundary character; however, their grain boundary topologies differ markedly. The wrought alloy contains a higher fraction of low-angle grain boundaries and continuous twin lamellae, whereas the LPBF microstructure is characterized by a suppressed low-angle boundary population and fragmented twin-related boundaries embedded within irregular high-angle grain boundary networks. Fractographic analysis further reveals predominantly intergranular cracking in LPBF H282, accompanied by grain-boundary-decorated carbides, Al 2 O 3 inclusions, and high-aspect-ratio pores. These results demonstrate that grain boundary topology, rather than minimum creep rate alone, plays a critical role in governing creep damage accumulation and rupture behavior in LPBF and wrought H282.

Isothermal and Cyclic Oxidation of Haynes 282 Processed by Electron Beam Melting (EBM) and Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) in Dry Air at 800 and 950°C

Here, the isothermal and cyclic oxidation behavior of Haynes 282 (H282) processed by laser powder bed fusion and electron beam melting was compared to its cast counterpart during exposures in air at 800 and 950°C. The specific microstructure of the AM alloys compared to coarse-grain cast 282 resulted in differences in oxidation rates, internal oxidation and spallation behavior. At 800°C, faster Ti diffusion to the surface due to the smaller grain size of the AM alloys led to Ti doping of the Cr 2 O 3 scale and faster oxidation rates. The higher density of grain boundaries also resulted in more pronounced internal oxidation. At 950°C, a duplex Cr 2 O 3 scale was observed with a dense inner layer and porous cracked outer layer with embedded TiO 2 particles. The impact of the external and internal oxide compositions and oxidation-induced elemental depletions on the oxidation lifetime, creep properties and spallation behavior is discussed.

Fatigue crack growth resistance of a mesoscale composite microstructure Haynes 282 fabricated via electron beam melting additive manufacturing

Materials synthesis via additive manufacturing gives unprecedented control over the solidified microstructure. While a number of studies have demonstrated the ability to produce spatially varying microstructures, little work exists to understand the behavior of such “composite” materials. In this work, we utilized electron beam melting to process Ni-based superalloy Haynes 282 and produce compact tension samples with a spatially varying mesoscale structure. Fatigue crack growth experiments reveal that the crack growth rate is dependent on the degree of microstructural heterogeneity. This work demonstrates that the crack growth resistance can be tailored within a component using electron beam melting additive manufacturing.

Welding of Haynes 282 to Steels to Enable Modular Rotors for Advanced Ultra Super-Critical Steam Turbines

Steam turbines for an Advanced Ultra Super Critical (AUSC) fossil fired power plant will operate at temperatures well above those of current commercial steam cycles with inlet temperatures more than 760 C , which is beyond the capabilities of alloy steels presently used for steam turbine applications and requires advanced materials. Large components such as steam turbine rotors may be made of nickel based super alloys such as Haynes 282 (H282). However, monolithic forgings of superalloys in the sizes required for large steam turbines rotors can be prohibitively expensive besides many technical challenges. To minimize cost and alleviate the related technical challenges, superalloy use needs to be limited to locations on the steam turbine rotor where strength and temperature requirements cannot be met by conventional steels. This is possible if nickel-based superalloys can be successfully welded to steels and the related technical challenges - machining parts made of dissimilar welded materials, non-destructive examination of such welds for flaw detection; and, material properties of such hybrid components – are sufficiently addressed. In this technology development project, we successfully welded H282 to plates up to ~ 75 mm (~ 3 inches) to a 3.5NiCrMoV steel of similar thickness. Advanced ultrasonic inspection technique called Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) was employed to examine the dissimilar H282-Steel welds, into which flat bottomed side drilled holes (SDH) of various diameters were introduced, to determine the minimum detectable feature sizes; it was shown that with PAUT SDH of dia. down to 0.5 mm could be detected in the base alloys and SDH with dia. down to 2.4 mm could be detected in the weld metal under multiple orientations successfully. An autonomous machining process monitoring system was developed and demonstrated whereby the forces acting on the cutting tool could be actively monitored as the cutting tool transitioned from H282 to Steel across the weld using which the machining parameters can be potentially altered without interruption to extend tool life. This project successfully achieved its objectives of - i. Developing a welding methodology and viable welding geometries, to successfully join H282 to steel 3.5CrMoNiV steel to enable manufacture of modular steam turbine rotors for AUSC applications (conditions of at least 760 °Celsius and 3,100 psia (pounds per square inch absolute pressure) and evaluate the material properties of the welded specimen. ii. Employ the advanced ultrasonic inspection technique to the dissimilar weld metal joint and determine the minimum detectable feature sizes. iii. Develop effective machining techniques to machine such hybrid structures with online tool force monitoring and effect machine state metrics for optimal results.

A macro-micro approach for identifying crystal plasticity parameters for necking and failure in nickel-based alloy haynes 282

Here, this work develops a two-scales macro-micro approach to address the challenge in calibrating crystal plasticity microstructural models when samples undergo necking prior to fracture. The crystal plasticity models are crucial for predicting the materials’ plastic deformation and failure at the microstructure level, identifying the materials’ intrinsic properties as well as investigating the microstructure-properties relationships. However, after necking occurs, the experimentally measured stress-strain curves fail to reflect the materials ‘true’ stress-strain behavior and cannot be directly fitted into crystal plasticity models. The proposed macro-micro approach employs a top-down strategy to address this challenge, which has been studied with experimental tests on precipitation-strengthened Ni-based superalloy Haynes® 282®. In this approach, a macro rate-dependent anisotropic plasticity model with Voce-type hardening and Rice-Tracey damage law is first utilized to model the deformation and failure of the tensile bar, and calibrated by matching the stress-strain curves, necking strain, and reduction of area. Especially, to match the testing results under different applied strain rates, the rate-sensitivity parameter m and saturation stress in the elasticity model are modified to incorporate dependence on the local strain rate. Then, the ‘true’ stress-strain behaviors are extracted from the necking zone of the macro-model, which are used to calibrate a micro-model with explicit microstructures and governed by an extended crystal plasticity law. The consistency between the micro-model and macro-model are enforced during calibration. The calibration outcomes from the crystal plasticity model elucidate the materials intrinsic properties for slip, hardening, and failure, which is vital for further investigations into the microstructure-properties relationship and for accurate prediction of the material behavior under various test and service conditions.
