Abstract :
The precipitation behaviors of the topologically close-packed (TCP) phases in the bicrystal DD5 superalloy have been investigated.The results showed that the [001] crystallographic orientations are consistent with that of adjacent grains; however, the direction ofthe needle-like TCP phases is not consistent with that of theγphase channels. The angle between needle-like TCP phases andγphase channels is 45°, but the angle between the needle-like TCP phases of the adjacent grains is equal to the misorientation ofthe adjacent grains. Furthermore, during long-term aging, the needle-like TCP phases gradually decompose and transform intoglobular and short rod-like phases. The TCP phases precipitate preferentially in the dendrite. It is difficult to precipitate at theinterdendrite/grain boundary, which is caused by the segregation of the constituent elements of the TCP phase to the dendrite.
