Abstract

Segregation processes during high-temperature deformation can be either detrimental or beneficial in γ′-strengthened superalloys depending on which elements segregate. In intermediate CoNi-based superalloys only softening due to extensive microtwinning was observed so far. By analyzing the creep behavior of a Ta-free and a Ta-containing CoNi-based superalloy at 750 °C and 620 MPa, we show that strengthening segregation behaviors along various planar defects, including microtwinning, can be achieved in this alloy class. While both alloys deformed under planar fault formation, the Ta-containing alloy outperformed the Ta-free alloy. Atomic-scale energy dispersive spectroscopy investigations revealed strengthening effects by local phase transformations along superlattice intrinsic and extrinsic stacking faults in both alloys. However, microtwinning is enhanced in the Ta-free alloy, while it is impeded in the Ta-containing alloy. Given the faster diffusivity of Ta compared to W, kinetic effects on localized phase transformation strengthening and their subsequent influence on the creep behavior are discussed.
