일방향응고 초내열합금 CM247LC의 응고조건에 따른 조직과 기계적 특성을 고찰하기 위해 초기 응고조건을 인위적으로 변화시켜 일방향응고를 진행하였다. 초기 응고 조건은 알루미나 판의 삽입, 접종재의 삽입, Ni foil의 삽입과 냉각판에 직접 주입 등으로 조절하였으며, 이에 따라 초기 결정립의 수의 많은 차이를 보였으며 응고방향과 평행으로 성장하는 결정립의 형태 및 γ' 석출상의 크기 등에서도 많은 차이를 보였다. 냉각속도가 빠른 용탕의 냉각판에 직접 주입한 경우 많은 결정립, 미세한 γ'상 및 γ-γ'공정상 등이 나타났다. 빠른 냉각은 고체/액체 사이의 온도구배를 증가시켜 일방향응고 후 1차 수지상 간격을 미세하게 함으로써 우수한 인장특성을 갖게 하였다.

This study used optical and scanning electron microscopy to analyze the surface oxidation phenomenon that accompanies a γ'-precipitate free zone in a directional solidified CM247LC high temperature creep specimen. Surface oxidation occurs on nickel-based superalloy gas turbine blades due to high temperature during use. Among the superalloy components, Al and Cr are greatly affected by diffusion and movement, and Al is a major component of the surface oxidation products. This out-diffusion of Al was accompanied by γ' (Ni₃Al) deficiency in the matrix, and formed a γ'-precipitate free zone at the boundary of the surface oxide layer. Among the components of CM247LC, Cr and Al related to surface oxidation consist of 8 % and 5.6 %, respectively. When Al, the main component of the γ' precipitation phase, diffused out to the surface, a high content of Cr was observed in these PFZs. This is because the PFZ is made of a high Cr γ phase. Surface oxidation of DS CM247LC was observed in high temperature creep specimens, and γ'-rafting occurred due to stress applied to the creep specimens. However, the stress states applied to the grip and gauge length of the creep specimen were different, and accordingly, different γ'-rafting patterns were observed. Such surface oxidation and PFZ and γ'-rafting are shown to affect CM247LC creep lifetime. Mapping the microstructure and composition of major components such as Al and Cr and their role in surface oxidation, revealed in this study, will be utilized in the development of alloys to improve creep life.

The grain size and growth direction of a directionally solidified turbine blade were evaluated by the initial nucleation condition at the start block of directional solidification. The initial nucleation condition was controlled by inserting a Ni foil on the directional solidification plate of the directional solidification furnace. Fine grains with good orientation were obtained in the faster cooling condition at the start block. The nucleus number was compared with the cooling rate of the start block by electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD). DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) analysis was performed to compare the melting point and undercooling for nucleation of the coarse nuclei and fine nuclei of the start block. The faster cooling condition at the start block showed more undercooling for nucleation and smaller size of nuclei which resulted in a fine grain with good orientation in the directional turbine blade.

The Ni-base superalloy CM247LC was directionally solidified (DS) using the Bridgman-type furnace to understand the effect of the chill plate on the microstructural evolution, such as dendrite arm spacing, microporosity, and MC-type carbide. The DS process was also modeled by the PROCAST to predict the solidification rate, thermal gradient, and resultant cooling rate in the entire length of the DS specimen. Due to the quenching effects of chill plate, four distinct areas were found to form in the specimen, in which the solidification rate was changed, during DS at a given withdrawal rate of 0.083 mm/s. Among the microstructural features investigated, the dendrite arm spacings and average size of the MC-type carbide near the chill plate were found to be influenced by the quenching effect of the chill plate. However, no significant influence was found on the size and volume fraction of microporosity, and the volume fraction of the MC-type carbide. The relationship between the microstructural features and the solidification variables was also analyzed and discussed on the basis of a combination of experimental and modeling results.

The effects of thermal gradient and solidification rate on the dendrite arm spacing and carbide morphology were investigated in directionally solidified Ni-base superalloy, CM 247LC. Thermal gradient was controlled by changing the position of the cold chamber and the furnace set temperature. The interface morphology changed from the planar to dendritic as increasing solidification rate. It was found that the dendrite spacing decreased as increasing the thermal gradient as well as the solidification rate. Also, as increasing solidification rate, carbide morphology changed from blocky shape to script and spotty shapes.

일방향응고로 제조된 니켈기 초내열합금 CM247LC의 다양한 온도 및 응력조건에서 크리프 특성에 대해 고찰하였다. 열처리 후 일부 공정조직이 남아 있었으며 비교적 균일한 육면체의 γ'이 수지상 내부와 수지상간 영역에서 관찰되었다. 상대적 저온인 750℃의 고응력 크리프 영역에서는 1차 크리프 동안 많은 변형이 발생하였으나 고온으로 갈수록 3차 크리프 구간이 크리프 변형시간의 대부분을 차지함을 알 수 있었다. 저온 고응력에서는 부분 전위가 γ'으로 진입하며 적층결함을 γ'내에 생성시켰으며 초기 크리프 변형속도가 증가하는 부분이 있었으나 850℃ 이상의 온도에서는 γ' 내부에서 적층결함이 관찰되지 않았으며 이는 적층결함에너지의 온도의존성 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 고온이어서 확산속도가 빠른 950℃와 1000℃에서는 γ'의 래프팅이 관찰되었다. 온도가 좀 더 낮은 850℃에서는 변형기구가 응력에 따라 다르게 나타나서 상대적으로 크리프 시간이 긴 저응력에서만 래프팅이 관찰되었다.
