利用OM, SEM和裂纹扩展速率测试等手段分析了GH4740H, GH4738, GH3625和690合金不同均匀化程度下的组织特征以及这些组织状态的热变形行为, 系统研究了合金均匀化工艺因素与再结晶的关联规律. 研究结果表明, 合金均匀化需要兼顾枝晶偏析消除带来的热塑性改善以及晶粒长大和氧化加剧所导致的后续热变形时的塑性下降; 合金未完全均匀化留下的残留枝晶间区域提供了再结晶形核位置, 提高再结晶形核率. 在相同热变形条件下, 有残留枝晶组织的试样再结晶程度明显高于完全均匀化、无枝晶组织的试样. 为此提出基于部分均匀化制度的高温合金均匀化开坯控制方法具有合理性.

The elimination of the segregation improves the thermo plasticity of superalloy ingot during the homogenization process, but coarser grain structure and high-temperature oxidation caused in further homogenization have an adverse impact on the thermo plasticity. The inheritance of coarse grain structure in the followed hot working process increases the tendency of cogging crack and makes the grain refining harder, leading to a lower yield of the final workpiece. The microstructure characteristics and their hot deformation behaviors of GH4740H, GH4738, GH3625 and 690 alloys under different homogenizations were investigated by means of microstructure analysis methods and crack propagation testing. The experimental results show that the reasonable homogenization processing needs to take into account the segregation elimination arising thermo plasticity addition, more to consider grain coarsing and severe oxidation leading to decrease plasticity. Based on the residue dendrites can provide more recrystalazation nucleation sites, the partial homogenization possessing probably exists rationality. This research work provides an exploratory study for the improvement of the homogenization-cogging process of superalloy.
