Post-Test Microstructural Analysis of Particle Impact-Tested Wrought Inconel, Additively Manufactured Inconel and Wrought Monel Targets

Particle impact testing in high pressure oxygen was performed to evaluate ignition susceptibility of Inconel 718 and Monel 400. Sapphire particles (1.5-mm diameter) under high pressure oxygen, travelling at hypersonic speeds, made impact with metal targets, resulting in surface indentations. This report details the post-test characterization of impact craters observed on three metallic target samples: wrought nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718 (IN718), additively manufactured Inconel 718 (AM-IN718) and nickel-copper alloy, Monel 400.

Further development and characterization of VM-103, a NASA wrought cobalt base alloy

The data obtained during this and previous programs indicate that the VM-103 has useful strength at temperatures as high 2200 F (1204 C), and can be considered as an alternate for other wrought superalloys such as L-605. The addition of 10 percent nickel to the standard composition improves both the hot and cold fabricability, ductility, impact strength, and metallurgical stability, while it only slightly reduces strength properties. Electroslag re-melting was effective in significantly increasing the fabricability of vacuum induction method VM-103, both with and without the 10 percent nickel addition. A specification for wrought VM-103 was developed and is included. Although thermomechanical processing improves lower temperature properties, no improvement occurs at temperatures at or above 2000 F (1093 C).

Thermomechanical and bithermal fatigue behavior of cast B1900 + Hf and wrought Haynes 188

A thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) high-temperature life prediction method has been evaluated using the experimental data. Bithermal fatigue (BTF), bithermal creep-fatigue (BTC-F), and TMF experiments were performed using two aerospace structural alloys, cast B1900 + Hf and wrought Haynes 188. The method which is based on the total strain version of strain range partitioning and unified cyclic constitutive modeling requires, as an input, information on the flow and failure behavior of the material of interest. Bithermal temperatures of 483 and 871 C were used for the cast B1900 + Hf nickel-base alloy and 316 and 760 C for the wrought Haynes 188 cobalt-base alloy. Maximum and minimum temperatures were also used in both TMF and BTF tests. Comparisons were made between the results of these tests and isothermal tensile and fatigue test data obtained previously. Qualitative correlations were observed between tensile and isothermal fatigue tests.

Microstructural stability of wrought, laser and electron beam glazed NARloy-Z alloy at elevated temperatures

Microstructure of wrought, laser, and electron-beam glazed NARloy-Z(Cu-3 wt.% Ag-0.5 wt.% Zr) was investigated for thermal stability at elevated temperatures (539 to 760 C (1,100 to 1,400 F)) up to 94 h. Optical and scanning electron microscopy and electron probe microanalysis were employed for studying microstructural evolution and kinetics of precipitation. Grain boundary precipitation and precipitate free zones (PFZ's) were observed in the wrought alloy after exposing to temperatures above 605 C (1,120 F). The fine-grained microstructure observed in the laser and electron-beam glazed NARloy-Z was much more stable at elevated temperatures. Microstructural changes correlated well with hardness measurements.

Testing of Wrought Iridium/Chemical Vapor Deposition Rhenium Rocket

A 22-N class, iridium/rhenium (Ir/Re) rocket chamber, composed of a thick (418 miocrometer) wrought iridium (Ir) liner and a rhenium substrate deposited via chemical vapor deposition, was tested over an extended period on gaseous oxygen/gaseous hydrogen (GO2/GH2) propellants. The test conditions were designed to produce species concentrations similar to those expected in an Earth-storable propellant combustion environment. Temperatures attained in testing were significantly higher than those expected with Earth-storable propellants, both because of the inherently higher combustion temperature of GO2/GH2 propellants and because the exterior surface of the rocket was not treated with a high-emissivity coating that would be applied to flight class rockets. Thus the test conditions were thought to represent a more severe case than for typical operational applications. The chamber successfully completed testing (over 11 hr accumulated in 44 firings), and post-test inspections showed little degradation of the Ir liner. The results indicate that use of a thick, wrought Ir liner is a viable alternative to the Ir coatings currently used for Ir/Re rockets.

The Elastic Constants for Wrought Aluminum Alloys

There are several constants which have been devised as numerical representations of the behavior of metals under the action of loadings which stress the metal within the range of elastic action. Some of these constants, such as Young's modulus of elasticity in tension and compression, shearing modulus of elasticity, and Poisson's ratio, are regularly used in engineering calculations. Precise tests and experience indicate that these elastic constants are practically unaffected by many of the factors which influence the other mechanical properties of materials and that a few careful determinations under properly controlled conditions are more useful and reliable than many determinations made under less favorable conditions. It is the purpose of this paper to outline the methods employed by the Aluminum Research Laboratories for the determination of some of these elastic constants, to list the values that have been determined for some of the wrought aluminum alloys, and to indicate the variations in the values that may be expected for some of the commercial products of these alloys.

Development study of compositions for advanced wrought nickel-base superalloys

Using NASA IIb as a base composition, the effects of five key elements (carbon, tungsten, tantalum, aluminum, and hafnium) on resultant properties were investigated in an effort to optimize the composition and derive new wrought high temperature alloys with improved strength characteristics. A total of nineteen compositions were melted, extruded, and rolled to bar stock using thermomechanical processing. Both full and partial solution heat treatments were developed for the compositions. Tensile properties from room temperature to 1800 deg F, stress and creep rupture properties to 1800 deg F, and thermal stability characteristics were evaluated. NASA IIb-7 exhibited the best response to the partial solution heat treatment for optimum properties up to 1200 deg F. The alloy contained 0.13C, 9.0 Cr, 9.0 Co, 2.0 Mo, 7.5 W, 10.0 Ta, 3.5 Al, 0.75 Ti, 0.02 B, 0.10 Zr, 0.50 V, 1.0 Hf, and balance nickel.

Alloy possesses combination of high tensile strength at low and intermediate temperatures to 1033 K with good rupture strength at high temperatures to 1255 K. Alloy has promise for turbine disk application in future gas turbine engines and for wrought integrally bladed turbine wheel; thickness and weight of disk portion of wheel could be reduced.

Effects of sigma-phase formation on some mechanical properties of a wrought nickel-base superalloy (IN-100)

The effect of sigma phase formation on an extruded and forged nickel base superalloy with the composition of the casting alloy IN-100 was studied. By adding only aluminum and titanium to remelt stock, three compositions were produced which had varying propensities for sigma formation. These compositions were given a four step heat treatment and were stress-ruptured or tensile tested. The very sigma prone composition had a shorter rupture life than the sigma-free or moderately sigma prone compositions when tested at 843 and 885 C. Elongation in room temperature tensile tests was considerably lower for the very sigma prone composition than for the other two wrought compositions after prolonged exposure at 732 or 843 C.

Effects of carbon and hafnium concentrations in wrought powder-metallurgy superalloys based on NASA 2B-11 alloy

A candidate alloy for advanced-temperature turbine engine disks, and four modifications of that alloy with various C and Hf concentrations were produced as cross-rolled disks from prealloyed powder that was hot isostatically compacted. The mechanical properties, microstructures, and phase relations of the alloys are discussed in terms of their C and Hf concentrations. A low-C and high-Hf modification of IIB-11 had the best balance of mechanical properties for service below about 750 C. Because of their finer grain sizes, none of the powder-metallurgy alloys produced had the high-temperature rupture strength of conventionally cast and wrought IIB-11.

An experimental P/M wrought superalloy for advanced temperature service

A study was undertaken in order to adapt IIB-11 (an experimental wrought superalloy with high temperature strength) to manufacture via powder metallurgy techniques, and to improve its microstructural stability. Three compositional modifications were produced and evaluated. Among the conclusions reached it was found that: (1) IIB-11 having a low C and low Hf alloy content is suitable for advanced temperature turbine disks, and is applicable to fabrication by powder metallurgy techniques, (2) IIB-11, when compared to modifications with higher C and/or higher Hf, is somewhat weaker in tension at intermediate temperatures but superior in tensile ductility, rupture strength and ductility, and stability during long-time heating, (3) increases in the cross-rolling temperature increase the grain size of alloys after solution treatment, and (4) both the lower C modifications develop larger grain sizes than the higher C modification.

Effects of cobalt on structure, microchemistry and properties of a wrought nickel-base superalloy

The effect of cobalt on the basic mechanical properties and microstructure of wrought nickel-base superalloys has been investigated experimentally by systematically replacing cobalt by nickel in Udimet 700 (17 wt% Co) commonly used in gas turbine (jet engine) applications. It is shown that the room temperature tensile yield strength and tensile strength only slightly decrease in fine-grained (disk) alloys and are basically unaffected in coarse-grained (blading) alloys as cobalt is removed. Creep and stress rupture resistances at 760 C are found to be unaffected by cobalt level in the blading alloys and decrease sharply only when the cobalt level is reduced below 8 vol% in the disk alloys. The effect of cobalt is explained in terms of gamma prime strengthening kinetics.

Precision cast vs. wrought superalloys

While cast polycrystalline superalloys recommend themselves in virtue of better 'buy-to-fly' ratios and higher strengthening gamma-prime volume fractions than those of wrought superalloys, the expansion of their use into such critical superalloy applications as gas turbine hot section components has been slowed by insufficient casting process opportunities for microstructural control. Attention is presently drawn, however, to casting process developments facilitating the production of defect-tolerant superalloy castings having improved fracture reliability. Integrally bladed turbine wheel and thin-walled turbine exhaust case near-net-shape castings have been produced by these means.

Thermomechanical and bithermal fatigue behavior of cast B1900 + Hf and wrought Haynes 188

High temperature thermomechanical and bithermal fatigue behavior was investigated for two superalloys: cast nickel-base B1900+Hf and wrought cobalt-base Haynes 188. Experimental results were generated to support development of an advanced thermal fatigue life prediction method. Strain controlled thermomechanical and load-controlled, strain-limited, bithermal fatigue tests were used to determine the fatigue crack initiation and cyclic stress-strain response characteristics of superalloys. Bithermal temperatures of 483 and 871 C were used for B1900+Hf, and 316 and 760 C for Haynes 188. Thermomechanical fatigue tests were conducted by using maximum and minimum temperatures corresponding to those for the bithermal experiments. Lives cover the range from about 10 to 3000 cycles to failure. Isothermal fatigue results obtained previously are also discussed.

Effect of Prestraining of Recrystallization Temperature and Mechanical Properties of Commercial, Sintered, Wrought Molybdenum

Given three presumably identical lots of commercial, sintered, wrought molybdenum, the 1-hour recrystallization temperature of one lot remained above 2900 F by limiting the amount of effective restraining to 35 percent or less. Different recrystallization temperatures were obtained in various atmospheres, the highest in argon and the lowest in hydrogen. Metal thus fabricated and then stress-relieved possessed an ultimate tensile strength at room temperature within 10 percent of metal swaged 99 percent and also possessed equivalent ductility. At 1800 F, equivalent strength and ductility was obtained irrespective of the amount of swaging over the range of 10 to 99 percent. The amount of swaging greatly influenced the recrystallized grain size but the difference in grain size is not the major controlling factor which determines whether recrystallized molybdenum is ductile or brittle at room temperature.
