Abstract
Track autoradiography, metallography and electron probe X-ray analysis were used to study the distribution of boron among structure componen ts of a powder-compacted nickel superalloy Ni-9Cr-16Co-3Mo-5Al-2Ti-7W- Nb-Hf-C-B at various stages of production of components. Regularities of boron distribution in semiproducts compacted from powders obtained by centrifugal and gas-jet atomization were established. Mechanisms of formation of ''anomalous'' particles with increased boron content and of boron migration to grain boundaries on heat treatment are advanced .
