文章亮点

(1) 应力松弛机制从位错滑移主导转变为位错滑移和晶界迁移共同作用。

(2) 退火处理促进了Laves相（Mo, Cr, Co, Nb）的分解，并伴随著在950°C开始析出μ-(Mo₆Co₇)，合金的强度的提升得益于细小的μ相（0.5–1 μm）的形成。

(3) 在1150°C退火后合金获得了最大的抗拉强度和塑性（1394 MPa，56.1%），这比铸态的合金（1060 MPa，26.6%）分别提高了131%和200%。

(4) 在1150°C退火后GH4151合金强度的主要贡献来自于γ基体的固溶强化作用（Δσ_ss = 431.88 MPa）。

中文摘要

本文通过扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、高分辨透射电子显微镜（HRTEM）和电子背散射衍射（EBSD）研究了GH4151合金在不同退火温度下的残余应力降低、析出演变和力学性能。结果表明，退火处理可以有效地减小残余应力。随着退火温度从950°C增加到1150°C，大部分残余应力从60.1 MPa降至10.9 MPa，并且相应的应力松弛机制由位错滑移主导转变为位错滑移和晶界迁移共同作用。同时，退火处理促进了Laves相的分解，伴随着μ-(Mo₆Co₇)的析出，起始温度为950°C，在1050°C达到最大值。退火后，合金在1150°C具有最大的抗拉强度和塑性（1394 MPa，56.1%），比铸态合金（1060 MPa，26.6%）提高了131%和200%，但合金中的氧化过程在1150°C时加速。强度和塑性的增加主要归因于脆性相的溶解以及γ′相的形态和规则分布。

Abstract

Abstract

We discussed the decrease in residual stress, precipitation evolution, and mechanical properties of GH4151 alloy in different annealing temperatures, which were studied by the scanning electron microscope (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The findings reveal that annealing processing has a significant impact on diminishing residual stresses. As the annealing temperature rose from 950 to 1150°C, the majority of the residual stresses were relieved from 60.1 MPa down to 10.9 MPa. Moreover, the stress relaxation mechanism transitioned from being mainly controlled by dislocation slip to a combination of dislocation slip and grain boundary migration. Meanwhile, the annealing treatment promotes the decomposition of the Laves, accompanied by the precipitation of μ-(Mo₆Co₇) starting at 950°C and reaching a maximum value at 1050°C. The tensile strength and plasticity of the annealing alloy at 1150°C reached the maximum (1394 MPa, 56.1%) which was 131%, 200% fold than those of the as-cast alloy (1060 MPa, 26.6%), but the oxidation process in the alloy was accelerated at 1150°C. The enhancement in durability and flexibility is primarily due to the dissolution of the brittle phase, along with the shape and dispersal of the γ′ phase.
