Process Parameter Optimization for the Laser Metal Deposition of a Functionally Graded GH4169/K417G Superalloy and the Effects of Preheating and Composition on Cracking Behavior
Source abstract
Abstract
This study aims to select a suitable process and composition for the fabrication of a functionally graded GH4169/K417G superalloy by laser metal deposition (LMD). A universal process parameter was optimized through an orthogonal test, and the influence of the preheated substrate temperature on the residual stress was investigated. Finally, the effects of preheating and composition on cracking and methods for controlling cracking were noted. As a result, equations for the relationship between the relative densities of samples prepared by LMD with different graded compositions and energy density coupled to laser parameters were established for the first time. Thus, an equation for the relationship between the appropriate laser power and graded composition was obtained. By preheating the substrate to higher temperatures, the maximum residual stress was gradually reduced from 753 to 362 MPa, and thus, the cracking tendency was suppressed partly. However, the decisive cracking factor was the γ/γ′ eutectic characteristic during the forming of K417G. When the terminal graded composition was designed to be 10% GH4169, the γ/γ′ eutectic phase exhibited a smaller size and lower quantity, which prevented cracking. The results of this research will help engineers select the appropriate compositions and processes to prepare dual-superalloy blisks.
