Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a nickel-based powder superalloy by discharge plasma sintering, which belongs to the field of powder metallurgy materials. Background technique

[0002] Nickel-based powder superalloy has the characteristics of fine grain, uniform structure, no macro-segregation, high alloying degree, high yield strength and excellent fatigue performance. It is the material of choice for manufacturing advanced engine hot-end parts.

[0003] The preparation of nickel-based powder superalloy mainly includes two technical routes. One is the preparation process of "argon atomization (AA) powder hot extrusion (HEX) forming + isothermal forging (ITF)" in countries such as Europe and the United States; the other is Russia and other countries mainly adopt the preparation process of "Plasma Rotating Electrode (PREP) Powder Direct Hot Isostatic Pressing (As-HIP) Forming".

[0004] In 1972, P&WA Company of the United States first p...
