摘要: A novel grain refiner composed of nickel, tungsten and yttria was prepared by powder metallurgy way. The microstructure of the refiner alloy was studied by optical microscope (OM), scanning electronic microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS). The refinement process was simplized and the casting thermal parameter was controlled easily by direct addition of the refiner into the melt experimental alloy. It was shown that the alloy grain could be refined by addition of refiner apparently even at high pouring temperature. The average grain size of the refiner free alloy was 4mm, while it was only 0.4mm in the refined alloy. The fine-grain superalloy has excellent mechanical properties at intermediate temperature. At last, the refinement mechanism was discussed.

The microstructure of the refiner alloy was studied by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The refinement process was simplized. It was shown that the alloy grains could be refined by addition of the refiners apparently even at high pouring temperature. The average grain size of the refiner free alloy was 4~mm, and 0.4 mm for the refined alloy. The fine-grain superalloy has excellent mechanical properties at intermediate temperature. The refinement mechanism was discussed.
