Abstract

Solidification behavior and hot-tearing susceptibility of superalloys are key factors in alloy-casting process performance and product quality. In this paper, the effect of Ni content on the solidification behavior and hot-tearing susceptibility of the novel Co-based superalloy Co–xNi–11Al–4W–5Cr–1Ta–4Ti (x = 10, 20, 30, 40, at. pct) was investigated. The results indicated that with increasing content of Ni, the degree of W and Ti segregation increased, while the degree of Ta segregation decreased. With increasing Ni content, the volume fraction and precipitation temperature of the β/γ′ eutectic gradually decrease, and the concentrations of Ti and Al in the residual liquid phase of the alloy gradually increase. Therefore, the solidification rate of the alloy in the hot-tearing sensitive zone decreases, and the hot-tearing susceptibility of the alloy gradually increases. The casting processing properties of the alloy also decrease. These results could offer an experimental reference for the Ni content design of Co–Ni–Al–W-based superalloys.
