Effect of Deformation Heat Treatment Process on the Grain Boundary Character Distribution of N06625 Alloy
摘要
This study investigates the grain boundary engineering of N06625 alloy through deformation heat treatment, aiming to increase the fraction of low Σ coincidence site lattice (CSL) grain boundaries and enhance crack resistance and mechanical properties. A combination of cold rolling and annealing was employed to systematically examine the synergistic effects of low ΣCSL grain boundaries and twin-related domain (TRD) formation. The results indicate that under 5% cold rolling and annealing at 1110°C, the fraction of low ΣCSL grain boundaries significantly increased, with the Σ3 boundaries reaching 64.3% and Σ9 + Σ27 boundaries at 7.99%. Meanwhile, the average TRD size expanded to 231.61, contributing to a more optimized grain boundary character distribution (GBCD). However, under higher deformation levels (15%), dynamic recrystallization suppressed the formation of low ΣCSL boundaries. These findings provide new insights into grain boundary engineering for N06625 alloy, offering a theoretical basis for improving its mechanical performance and crack resistance. This work holds great potential for high-temperature applications, particularly in the aerospace industry.
