Abstract

The paper explores the influence of Ti addition to the Ta stabilized γ/γ� two-phase Co-based superalloys having the compositions of Co-30Ni-10Al-5Mo-2Ta-xTi (x = 0, 1, 2 and 4 at.). The microstructure of the alloys after solutionizing (1300 °C for 25 h) and quenching show fine distribution of γ� precipitates with spherical shape within the γ matrix. Aging of these alloys at 900 °C results in a morphological transition from spheroidal to cuboidal with a concomitant increase in γ/γ� lattice misfit as compared to the solutionized alloys. However, the γ/γ� lattice misfit of cuboidal particles decreases with an increase in Ti in the alloys. Atomic-scale compositional analysis by atom probe tomography across γ/γ� interface for the aged alloys indicates a preferential partitioning of Ti to the γ�. This can be correlated with the observed increase in the γ� solvus temperature up to 1166 °C for alloys with 4 at. Ti addition. The increase in Ti content also decreases the partitioning of Mo to the γ�. Despite the rise in solvus temperature, the coarsening study reveals an escalation in the γ� coarsening rate at 900 and 950 °C with a maximum for the alloy containing the highest Ti content. The initial stages of γ� coarsening follow diffusion-controlled LSW kinetics. However, during later stages, a propensity for particle coalescence could be observed. An addition of 3 and 4 at. Ti is shown to improve the high-temperature strength with 0.2 proof stress at 1000 °C of 360 and 400 MPa, respectively. © 2021 Acta Materialia Inc.
