Powder Metallurgy Technology (Selected Articles)
Abstract
This paper studies the effect of various pre-HIP heating, isostatic pressure heat treatment on the size and distribution of prior particle boundary (PPB) carbide precipitates, volume fraction and grain size of HIP billets of Rene 95 P/M powder metallurgy alloy. The possibility of reducing the PPB carbide segregation by using pre-HIP heat treatment was explored. The results show that pre-HIP treatment can reduce the degree of PPB carbide segregation, increase the volume fraction, but leave grain size unchanged. This is due mainly to the improvement of pre-HIP powder surface state and the precipitating environment of carbides on PPB.
