| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing of high γ ′ Ni-based superalloys is challenging due to inherent susceptibility to cracking. This study introduces CW247, a novel cost-reduced, weldable superalloy derived from CM247LC, specifically tailored for additive manufacturing. Leveraging thermodynamic and DFT calculations, the alloy composition was tailored (e.g., reduced Al, controlled B/Zr, optimized Cr/Nb/Ti) to simultaneously improve AM processability and high-temperature property. EBM-processed CW247 demonstrated near crack-free samples (99.8% density). The heat-treated microstructure exhibited a desirable bimodal γ ′ distribution (60.8% volume fraction of primary γ´) and excellent microstructural stability after 1000h thermal exposure at 982 ℃. This study demonstrates the newly-developed alloy’s superior AM processability and promising high-temperature mechanical properties, highlighting the successful synergy between alloy design, AM processing, and properties. |
