Hot Isostatic Consolidation of P/M Superalloys.
Abstract
The kinetics of powder consolidation, or densification, and the powder morphological changes occurring during hot isostatic pressing (HIP) are studied as a function of particle size distribution and hold time at HIP temperature for the nickel base superalloy RENE-95. In order to understand the extent of individual powder particle deformation during consolidation and its effect on subsequent prior particle boundaries (PPB), particle size distribution was studied as a variable. Particle size distributions studied include monosized (75-90 micrometers), bimodal (75-90 micrometers and 33-35 micrometers) and commerical (104 micrometerss) size distribution. The experimental results of HIP densification kinetics are compared with a newly developed analytical deformation mechanism model for HIP consolidation which takes into account the effect of a distribution of particle sizes on the kinetics of densification.
