Sj. Sijbrandij et al., ATOM-PROBE ANALYSIS OF NICKEL-BASED SUPERALLOY IN-718 WITH BORON AND PHOSPHORUS ADDITIONS, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 250(1), 1998, pp. 115-119
The effects of controlled additions of boron and phosphorus to nickel-
based superalloy IN-718 have been investigated by atom probe field ion
microscopy in specimens subjected to a long term heat treatment (6 mo
nths at 704 degrees C). The predominant gamma, gamma' and gamma '' pha
ses were found to be depleted in boron and phosphorus, and no segregat
ion was detected at gamma-gamma' and gamma-gamma '' interfaces. Signif
icant phosphorus enrichments were found in the minor sigma and Laves p
hases. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
