摘要
The extent of solute segregation in a multi-component Ni-base superalloy, IN713LC, is analysed using X-ray spectroscopy techniques. It is demonstrated in this study that such an analysis is strongly influenced by the volume averaging of -y and -y'phases sampled by the electron beam; the -y' having precipitated from the -y phase below the -y' solvus temperature in the solid-state. It is found that the size of the precipitate (- ') in relation to the interaction volume is crucial; volume averaging is dominant when the precipitate size (y') is comparable to the interaction volume. Accurate interpretation of the measurements is essential when they are used to infer the micro- segregation and solute partitioning during solidification. Implications of this analysis in the assessment of segregation during solidification in Ni-base superalloys are addressed. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
