    Abstract Conversion of highly-alloyed -hardened disk alloys such as UDIMET alloy 720 from cast ingot into billet requires a detailed knowledge of the hot working process window. Hot workability of billet stock was assessed by Gleeble tension testing. The effects of test temperature and, in particular, cooling rate from the prior annealing temperature to the test temperature on hot ductility were systematically studied. High cooling rates on the order of 30 oC / s as realized in the Gleeble tester resulted in a dramatic drop in hot ductility.

    Introduction UDIMET alloy 720, a hardenable Ni-base superalloy, is known to be one of the highest alloyed disk materials that can be processed along the traditional cast & wrought route [1]. Thermo-mechanical conversion of the cast ingot to billet stock is often accomplished by press forging at temperatures approximately 50 oC below the solvus temperature (roughly 1160 oC). Owing to the rapid age hardening propensity of this alloy upon cooling while being processed, loss of ductility is a major concern potentially impacting quality and yield. Hot ductility of billet stock is traditionally assessed by various types of Gleeble hot deformation testing schemes that reflect the relatively high strain rates encountered in industrial conversion operations. In the present study, simple Gleeble tension testing was executed. To closely simulate conversion processes, the specimens were heated to a nominal forging temperature, stabilized, and then cooled within a wide range of rates to the actual test temperature. Reduction in area was utilized as a measure of hot ductility. These tests were complemented by detailed analyses of the respective microstructures.

    Experiment

    Material was made available from 0.15 m diameter billet. The actual chemical composition of this billet stock is listed in Table I. Two alloying elements (Cr and Ti) are slightly outside the specification limits for UDIMET alloy 720. This resulted in a solvus temperature elevated by roughly 10 oC over regular production material. Nonetheless, it is believed that the results and

    conclusions of this study are generally applicable to highly alloyed hardened disk materials.

    Uniformity of the microstructure across the billet diameter was adequate to allow for machining of a significant number of Gleeble specimens without regard to location. All specimens featured an axial orientation. Specimens were mounted in a Gleeble tester, rapidly annealed to a temperature of 1110 oC, and held for 5 min. Cooling rates to the actual test temperature varied between 0.03 and 30 oC / s. The upper bound reflects cooling rates typically encountered in Gleeble tests whereas the lower bound approximates cooling rates experienced by the billet center upon a standard air cool [2]. Once stabilized (1 min) at the test temperature, specimens were pulled rapidly at approximately 0.02 m / s translating into strain rates on the order of 1 / s. Peak loads were used to compute tensile strength, and reduction of area was employed as a measure of hot ductility. Microstructures of the material in the as-supplied as well as in the various tested conditions were characterized by optical microscopy, SEM, and TEM. Seven-acids etch (300 ml hydrochloric acid, 60 ml nitric acid, 60 ml phosphoric acid, 30 ml hydrofluoric acid, 30 ml sulfuric acid, 30 grams anhydrous iron chloride, 60 ml acetic acid, 300 ml water) was employed to reveal the precipitates. In order to gain insight into the operative deformation mechanisms during testing, TEM specimens were prepared from near the fracture surfaces.

The polishing was conducted at 40 oC and a voltage of 18~22 V.

    Results and Discussion

    Fig. 1 shows reduction of area (RA) as a function of test temperature for standard Gleeble testing conditions, i.e., cooling rates of approximately 30 oC / s. The two curves represent the test results obtained with two sets of specimens and demonstrate the reproducibility of the results. The dramatic drop in hot

    311

  • ductility at around 1040 oC is apparent. Values of less than 20 % in RA are generally considered unacceptable for hot forming operations. Recalling that billet surface temperatures could readily drop below this mark during a forge session, major surface cracking could be anticipated. This projection contradicts forge shop experience with this alloy.

    To further explore cooling rate effects, another set of specimens was cooled at varying rates to 1010 oC, and pulled. Figure 3 depicts the measured RA values as a function of cooling rate. Superimposed on this graph is the range of cooling rates from center to surface modeled for air cooling of an intermediate size, 0.38 m diameter billet [2]. Apparently, even the billet surface can be expected to exhibit sufficient hot ductility.

    Figure 3. Reduction of area as a function of cooling rate to a test temperature of 1010 oC. Superimposed is the modeled range of cooling rates of air- cooled 0.38 m diameter billet. Hence, from a conversion point of view, hot cracking should be a rare event. However, above reasoning does not account for the fact that the grain structure of the tested material (fully wrought) is certainly not representative of the grain structure during initial ingot break-down. It is speculated that the initially coarse, oriented grain structure in the cast ingot may be much more important in terms of cracking propensity than any lack of traditional Gleeble hot ductility measured on fully wrought, fine-grained material. This notion is supported by shop floor observations in that the workability of UDIMET alloy 720 billet generally improves throughout the conversion process [3]. In order to gain insight into the different hot ductility behaviors, microstructures of material in the initial and selected tested conditions were examined. Specifically, samples from the standard test runs at 30 oC / s (subsequently referred to as fast cooling condition) and 0.03 oC / s (referred to as slow cooling condition) were chosen for detailed analyses. Test temperature was 1010 oC in either case. Figure 4 depicts the typical assupplied microstructure featuring coarse, blocky primary precipitates of several microns in size. The grain size was read to ASTM 8 or finer. Higher magnification images (Figure 5) revealed the presence of 150 nm-size fine spherical secondary that must have formed during cooling from the hot working temperature. It can be expected that this fine cooling would dissolve upon heating to the 1110 oC annealing temperature in the Gleeble tester.

    Figure 5. SEM micrograph of the as-supplied billet microstructure revealing fine cooling . A SEM micrograph representative of the fast cooling condition is shown in Figure 6. Notice the presence of the similarly coarse blocky as observed in the as-supplied condition (Figure 4). Evidently, the 1110 oC annealing temperature in the Gleeble tester was well below the -solvus temperature of the material as intended. A higher resolution TEM micrograph (Figure 7) revealed copious amounts of fine, approximately 40 nm-size secondary that precipitated during controlled cooling from the 1110 oC annealing temperature to the 1010 oC test temperature.

    Figure 7. TEM dark field image of fast cooling specimens featuring copious amounts of secondary precipitates in matrix (B=001, g=100). In order to examine the deformation mechanisms operative during Gleeble tests, TEM foils were prepared from near the fracture surface. A bright field image (Figure 8a) exhibits a high density of planar faults with a couple of 100 nm in spacing. These faults are continuous across entire grains. The diffraction pattern taken from the [011] direction shows weak reflection spots that have a twin relationship with the matrix as indicated with circles. A higher magnification micrograph (Figure 8b) shows thin twin plates 10-30 nm thick. The twin interfaces are indicated with arrowheads, and they are (111) planes. The twin plates seem to penetrate precipitates. Other deformation activities, such as dislocation gliding, are rarely observed in this specimen. These features are similar to "microtwins" observed in polycrystalline Ni-base superalloys with fine precipitates during creep deformation at low temperature and high stress condition [4]. Therefore, microtwinning is surmised to be the dominant deformation mechanisms in the "fast cooling" condition.

A SEM micrograph representative of the slow cooling condition is shown in Figure 9. In addition to the retained primary coarse , secondary of dendritic morphology is evident. Such morphologies are likely growth morphologies as reported in a number of -hardened alloys. They typically result from slow cooling (on the order of 1 oC / min) through the precipitation range [5]. In the present study, they are surmised to have formed during slow cooling from the 1110 oC annealing temperature to the 1010 oC test temperature. Precipitate-free zones around the primary precipitates are also apparent, indicative of the exhausted hardener levels in the vicinity of these larger particles.

    Figure 10(a) shows a TEM bright field image taken from near fracture surface of the specimen in "slow cooling" condition. Large precipitates with a size larger than 200 nm are present in the matrix. Different from the "fast cooling" condition, microtwins were absent. Instead, dislocations gliding in the matrix phase were observed (Figure 10(b)). They were identified as 1/2 type dislocations via gB analysis. Therefore, normal

  • dislocation gliding appears to be the dominant deformation mechanism in the "slow cooling" condition. Based on the examinations of the various microstructures, the Gleeble results can be rationalized. Upon cooling from the 1110 oC annealing temperature to the actual test temperature, a significant supersaturation of the -matrix in the -forming elements Al and Ti will build up (Figure 11).

    Figure 11. JMatPro predictions [6] of the temperature-dependent volume fraction in the studied billet material. Then, the cooling rate dictates the interplay between nucleation of secondary and its growth high cooling rates favor nucleation, hence, large amounts of very fine secondary precipitates are formed. Their size and tight spacing greatly impede dislocation motion during the actual Gleeble test. In + alloys, mode of shearing depends on the size of precipitates. Generally, when precipitates are small (less than 100 nm), the precipitates are sheared by 1/6 partial dislocations, rather than 1/2 dislocations, and microtwins [4] or stacking faults [7] are observed. This is thought to be the case of the "fast cooling" condition. Interestingly, it apparently takes a significant amount of supersaturation (or undercooling) in solute for this mechanism to become operative since the ductility deficit did not materialize for small amounts of undercooling (see Figure 1). In the slow cooling case, precipitate growth (either of pre-existing, retained primary or newly created secondary nuclei) dominates. Hence, nucleation number densities are low and precipitate spacing is significantly greater. Such microstructures enable the classical (111) slip systems in the matrix, and result in much improved ductility. The ramifications of the different microstructures for specimen mechanical behavior are also reflected in their tensile strengths fine secondary resulted in significantly higher strength levels than coarser dendritic secondary (Figure 12).

Above reasoning should be generally applicable to highly alloyed Ni-base superalloys that exhibit a sufficient variation in volume fraction within the hot working window. Indeed, quite similar debits in hot ductility were reported for UDIMET alloy 700 in the fast cooling condition [8].

    Summary and Conclusions

    Hot workability of highly-alloyed -hardened billet stock of UDIMET alloy 720 type was assessed by Gleeble testing. Gleeble hot ductility was found to be sensitive to cooling rate from the prior annealing temperature. High cooling rates on the order of 30 oC / s resulted in poor ductility of less than 20 %. Lower cooling rates of 3 oC / s or less resulted in ductility exceeding 60 %. The observed differences in hot ductility could be rationalized by the precipitation kinetics of during cooling from the prior annealing temperature to the actual test temperature. High cooling rates caused very fine, 40 nm-size secondary which triggered micro-twinning in the course of Gleeble testing. In contrast, slow cooling yielded much coarser (even dendritic) secondary that enabled the classical (111) slip. As for industrial conversion operations, it seems that even surface chill rates would ordinarily fall into the slow cooling regime. Hence, lack of workability is likely be caused by factors other than precipitation kinetics.
