    摘要: Rhenium-free nickel based alloys are provided. More particularly, the alloys comprise preferred levels and ratios of elements so as to achieve good high temperature strength of both gamma matrix phase and gamma prime precipitates, as well as good environmental resistance, without using rhenium. When cast and directionally solidified into single crystal form, the alloys exhibit creep resistance substantially equivalent to rhenium-bearing single-crystal alloys. Further, the alloys can be processed by directional solidification into articles in single crystal form or columnar structure comprising fine dendrite arm spacing, e.g., less than 400 μm, if need be, so that further improvements in mechanical properties in the articles can be seen.

More particularly, the alloys comprise preferred levels and ratios of elements so as to achieve good high temperature strength of both gamma matrix phase and gamma prime precipitates, as well as good environmental resistance, without using rhenium. When cast and directionally solidified into single crystal form, the alloys exhibit oxidation resistance better than or comparable to rhenium-bearing single-crystal alloys, and creep rupture life comparable to rhenium-bearing single-crystal alloys. Further, the alloys can be processed by directional solidification into articles in single crystal form or columnar structure comprising fine dendrite arm spacing, e.g., less than 400 μm, if need be, so that further improvements in mechanical properties in the articles can be seen.

    摘要: A method of making nano/sub-micron sized grains in a work piece material having a lateral side has the steps of providing a die. The die has an entrance channel with a longitudinal axis and an exit channel. The entrance channel and the exit channel are connected to one another to form an angle. The method has the step of providing a first sacrificial material with a complementary size to the work piece and placing the sacrificial first material and the work piece in an entrance channel. The first sacrificial material and the work piece are aligned with the longitudinal axis. The method has the step of extruding the combination of the first sacrificial material, and the work piece through the intersection of the entrance and the exit channels. The resulting shear deformation forms the nano/sub-micron sized grains in the work piece. This configuration reduces frictional effects thereby producing homogenous nano grain structure. This configuration reduces applied load and enables equal channel angular extrusion of thin sheets.
