GH5188 alloys were fabricated by LDED, and different heat treatments were subsequently applied to enhance the mechanics performance of LDED-fabricated (LDEDed) samples. The LDEDed GH5188 alloys exhibited a predominantly coarse columnar grain structure, with γ-Co matrix and M23C6 eutectic carbides distributed at the grain boundaries. The solution treatment promoted the segregation of solute elements, which acted as new nucleation sites and facilitated recrystallization as well as grain refinement. In addition, the initially coarse and irregular γ-Co/M23C6 eutectic phases enriched at grain boundaries were refined into finely dispersed particle-like precipitates, thereby strengthening the precipitation hardening effects. An excellent strength-ductility balance of LDEDed GH5188 alloys with an ultimate tensile strength of 857 MPa and an elongation of 42% is attained after solution treatment(1180 °C-1 h). These results demonstrate that solution treatment effectively alleviates the coarse grain structure and uneven distribution of precipitates inherent to the LDEDed GH5188 alloys, thereby enhancing the overall mechanics performances.
激光定向能量沉积(laser directed energy deposition, LDED)因其成形效率高、材料利用率高以及能够制造复杂整体结构等优势,近年来在先进制造领域受到广泛关注,推动了航空航天等领域的发展[3-5]。然而,LDED成形GH5188合金在快速、非平衡凝固及定向热梯度条件下,只能形成以柱状晶和枝晶为特征的特殊组织,凝固条件随工艺参数变化而发生改变,进而影响材料的成形质量以及晶粒形貌、枝晶形态和元素偏析等微观组织特征。因此,如何调控LDED成形GH5188合金的微观组织,并保证其在复杂服役环境下的可靠性,仍然是制约其工程化应用的关键挑战。
