Research Summary

High-Temperature Alloys

Understanding of the solution heat treatment response of a second generation, single-crystal nickel-based superalloy, CMSX-4, is necessary before the process can be shortened in an effort to save money. The current solution heat treatment used for CMSX-4 involves high temperatures for long durations and can be quite expensive. This investigation helps to characterize the heat-treatment process for this alloy. The achieved microstructure is described for both the as-cast and fully solution-annealed conditions. In addition, an alternate, less expensive ...
