[0022] Advantages of the present application:
[0023] (1) The GH2901 alloy bar forging method of the present application reasonably optimizes the alloy composition range; reduces the element segregation of the consumable ingot through homogenization diffusion treatment; eliminates part of the as-cast organization through axial deformation; forms a fine and uniform grain organization through reasonable allocation of forging deformation rate and heating temperature; the uniform grain organization provides more accurate sound wave reflection feedback for ultrasonic testing, which is beneficial to the discovery and elimination of defects.
