Abstract

The mechanical strength of the oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) nickelbase superalloy PM 3030 during deformation at constant strain rate (CSR) is discussed with special emphasis placed on its dependence on grain structure. In the fine-grain state the material shows a very high strength at low temperatures due to Hall – Petch type strengthening. However, the 0.2% offset yield strength σ0.2 falls off sharply at temperatures above 700 °C. Increase of grain size by isothermal annealing leads to a reduction of σ0.2 at low temperatures, but also to an increase of creep resistance at higher temperatures. Coarse and elongated grain structures essentially eliminate grain-boundary sliding and reduce diffusion-controlled void formation and, therefore, exhibit a superior strength level at elevated temperatures. The dependence of σ0.2 on grain structure results in a cross-over of the σ0.2 vs. T-curves within a narrow temperature range where all grain variants exhibit similar mechanical strengths. In accord with Dieter [1] this region may be called “equicohesion range” of a given material with identical chemical composition and particle structure.
