Abstract
Abstract
IN-738 turbine blade samples, deteriorated after long term service at high temperatures, were solution heat-treated at two temperatures, 1398 K and 1473 K, for 7.2 ks. Subsequently, the samples were cooled down in different atmospheres, in air and in furnace, for the purpose of studying the effects of different cooling media (rates) on the restored microstructures. Following this, the samples were aged at 1118 K for 43.2 ks and 86.4 ks in order to determine the characteristic of re-precipitated gamma prime particles. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) and ImageJ analysis software were used. The results show that the cooling in air provided gamma prime particles re-precipitating in spherical shape while the cooling in a furnace resulted in coarse gamma prime particles re-precipitating in irregular shape. The samples solutionized at 1398 K for 7.2 ks cooled down in air and then aging at 1118 K provided bimodal microstructure, while the sample solutionized at 1473 K for 7.2 ks, followed by air cooling and aging at 1118 K generated unimodal γ’ precipitation in spherical shape. Cooling in a furnace provides coarse γ’ recipitated particles in more irregular shape for the both solutionizing temperatures studied here. Cooling in a furnace provides coarse γ’ precipitated particles in more irregular shape for the both solutionizing temperatures studied here.
