Abstract： Casting microporosity defect is one of the important issues for as- cast HK40 alloys preparation, which is of great importance to application performance of the alloy castings. A comprehensive understanding of the mechanism on formation of the casting microporosity defect is still unclear for the alloys. In this work, the casting microporosity defect and influences of boron micro-alloying on the as-cast microstructures and microporosities in HK40 alloys castings were investigated by means of SEM, OM and XRD, etc.. The microstructures in the HK40 alloys with and without boron micro-alloying after quenching at high temperatures were also examined to check the solidification characteristic change attribute to boron addition. The results show that there are two types of casting microporosities in the castings. Type A is mainly caused by the rapid growth of dendrites and thus dendritic bridge connecting which lead to feeding shortages between the bridge dendrites. Type B is, however, resulted by the growth of M7C3 carbides in coarsened dendritic morphology which induce to the feeding channel blockage in adjacent interdendritic regions. Boron micro-alloying decreases the tendency of columnar grain formation and refines the dendrites in HK40 alloys which therefore suppresses the casting microporosity defect of type A. Additionally, boron micro-alloying not only increases the volume fraction of eutectic phases, but also changes the M7C3 carbides in dendritic morphology into the M23C6 carbides in lamellar morphology, which prevents the feeding channal blockage in adjacent interdendritic regions, thus reduces the casting microporosity defect of type B.

Abstract： The directionally solidificated (DS) Co-based superalloys are widely used in aircraft turbine vanes due to the good stress-rupture parameters and excellent hot corrosion resistance. The cyclic change of temperatures and complex stress state thermal fatigue (TF) cracks happen frequently in vanes during service. However, most of the work are conducted in Ni- based superalloys and there is rare report concerning the TF behavior of DS Cobased superalloys. Furthermore, due to the residual strain accumulated during processing, shot peening, grinding and recrystallization (RX) frequently occur when the DS components are exposed to high temperatures. It is believed that RX may change the microstructure, especially adding more grain boundaries to DS alloys, and result in the reduction of the mechanical properties of DS superalloys. Therefore, in this work, V-notch plate specimens with notch direction perpendicular and parallel to the DS orientation are machined from the DS plate. Local RX grains are prepared (local indented and then heat treated) in the notch areas of some samples. TF test is conducted between 1000 ℃ to room temperature. The effect of DS orientation and RX on TF properties of a DS Co-based superalloy is investigated. The results indicate that the cracks propagate along the interdendritic regions in the samples with notches parallel to the DS direction, which exhibites lower TF properties than samples with notches vertical to the DS direction. TF cracks initiate and propagate along RX boundaries in samples containing RX grains. Precipitation of M23C6 carbides is found along the RX boundaries during TF tests. Due to the oxidation at the tip of crack, M23C6 desquamates and leads to the formation of micro voids, which accelerates the crack propagation and decreases TF properties of tested alloy. In samples with notches parallel to the DS direction, cracks preferentially propagate along the RX grain boundaries.

Abstract：利用SEM、OM和XRD等手段分析了HK40合金铸件铸造疏松形成原因，并研究了添加微量B对HK40合金的凝固组织及疏松形成的影响。结果表明：HK40合金铸件主要存在A、B 2种铸造疏松缺陷。A类疏松主要由于枝晶的快速生长并架桥联接导致架桥枝晶之间区域的补缩不足引起；B类疏松产生原因是相邻枝晶间区域生长的枝晶状M7C3型碳化物堵塞枝晶间补缩通道。B微合金化能降低HK40合金铸件较强的柱状晶生长趋势，细化枝晶，能抑制HK40合金A类铸造疏松缺陷的产生。同时，B微合金化增加了HK40合金枝晶间共晶相的体积分数，使枝晶间呈枝晶状M7C3型碳化物转变为层片状的M23C6型碳化物析出，避免碳化物堵塞相邻枝晶间的补缩通道，因而也减小了B类铸造疏松缺陷的形成倾向。
