These results show that in freckle areas a large number of M6C, MC, Laves and δ phases precipitate in grain boundaries even within grain due to the enrichment and segregation of Mo and Nb during solidification, which results in almost of these freckle areas covered by these complex precipitated phases and induces small grains in freckle areas. Equilibrium phase and liquid segregation calculation can give a reasonable interpretation of the freckle feature for this alloy.展开更多

Hot compression tests were conducted using a Gleeble-1500 simulator at a true strain of 0.7 in the temperature range of 1000 to 1150 °C and strain rate range of 0.01 to 10.00 s?1. It is found that the size and volume fraction of the DRX grains in hot-deformed Inconel 625 superalloy firstly decrease and then increase with increasing strain rate. Meanwhile, the nucleation mechanism of DRX is closely related to the deformation strain rate due to the deformation thermal effect. The discontinuous DRX (DDRX) with bulging of original grain boundaries is the primary nucleation mechanism of DRX, while the continuous DRX (CDRX) with progressive subgrain rotation acts as a secondary nucleation mechanism. The twinning formation can activate the nucleation of DRX. The effects of bulging of original grain boundaries and twinning formation are firstly gradually weakened and then strengthened with the increasing strain rate due to the deformation thermal effect. On the contrary, the effect of subgrain rotation is firstly gradually strengthened and then weakened with the increasing strain rate.展开更多

The flow stress curves were obtained in the temperature and strain rate ranges of 950-1200 ℃ and 0.01-10 s-1, respectively. Optical microscopy was used to evaluate the microstructural evolution of the alloy under different conditions examined. The results show that the flow stress decreases with decreasing strain rate and increasing temperature, and the activation energy is about 654.502 kJ/mol. Microstructure observations show that with increasing temperature, the sizes and volume fraction of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) grains increase. The strain has no remarkably effect on the sizes of DRX grains, but with increasing strain the volume fraction of DRX grains increases. During hot compression of Inconel 625 superalloy at elevated temperature, the occurrence of DRX was the main softening mechanism. The DRX mechanism of Inconel 625 superalloy can be mainly attributed to the discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX).展开更多
