Description
Summary:In this study, FGH 98 superalloy parts were fabricated by laser solid forming (LSF) and the microstructure and defects of the LSF part were revealed using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. It was found that the main defect in the LSF part was cracks. In order to analyze the phase transition process and crack mechanism, the temperature and stress fields were simulated. Based on the simulated result, Ni-Al phase diagram and morphologies of cracks, it can be concluded that the micro segregation caused by the rapid heating and cooling rates was the main reason for the crack defect.
