Abstract
The precipitation behavior of L12 structure Ni3(Al,Ti)-type γ' precipitates near shrinkage porosity in a large sand casting of Haynes 282 alloy has been investigated by scanning/transmission electron microscopy in conjunction with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The experimental results revealed that in the carbonitride-rich region close to the shrinkage porosity, γ' precipitates could still form with comparable sizes though at lower volume density than those in the general cast Ni matrix. The resulting γ' precipitates had a very high Al/Ti ratio. Close to oxide-rich pore surfaces, an absence of γ' precipitates was observed due to Al and Ti depletion by forming Al oxides and Ti carbonitrides, respectively. This work suggests that Al rather than Ti plays a dominant role in the formation of γ' precipitates in porous regions in cast Haynes 282 alloys.
