Abnormal grain growth (AGG) upon sub-solvus annealing of hot worked material has been reported for a number of cast & wrought and powder metallurgy superalloys, irrespective of the nature of the grain boundary pinning phase (e.g., delta phase in alloy 718 or gamma-prime phase in Rene 88DT).  A common feature are large overgrown grains that exhibit the original precipitate distribution as well as a high density of annealing twins (Fig. 1).  It has also been established that these phenomena occur only for certain hot working conditions.  Identifying these special hot working conditions a priori has proven difficult.
Taking a more industry-oriented approach, we studied the (sub-solvus) annealing response of a sizeable number of hot-worked product forms of two very different wrought Ni-base superalloys: HAYNES 244 alloy and HAYNES 233 alloy.  The main grain boundary pinning phase in 244 alloy is an intermetallic Mo-rich phase with a solvus temperature of approximately 2050oF (1120oC).  In contrast, the key pinning phase in 233 alloy are secondary Cr- and Mo-rich carbides that precipitate in sufficient quantities below 2100oF (1149oC).   |
