? 2022 Elsevier B.V.To determine the influence of Re and Ru on the phase morphologies and microstructure in Ni-based superalloys, a series of model alloys derived from the 4th generation TMS-138 superalloy have been investigated with systemically changing Re and Ru additions. All alloys are subjected to solid solution and aging treatments to achieve the typical γ/γ′ two phases microstructure. Phase transition temperatures are measured by using differential scanning calorimetry. The Re is found to increase the γ′-solvus temperature with a slope of roughly 5.4 ℃ per wt% Re in Ru-free alloys and 2.3 ℃ per wt% Re in 2Ru alloys, while the Ru exhibits much weaker effect. Microstructure and composition of the two phases are examined to understand the Re and Ru effects on γ′ size, shape, volume fraction, the elemental partition behavior, and the γ/γ′ lattice misfit. The results show that the addition of Re affects size and shape of γ′ precipitates, and also reduces γ/γ′ lattice misfit significantly. Meanwhile, Re increases partition coefficients of Cr and Ru. In comparison, the addition of Ru seems to have little effect on morphology of γ′ precipitates and the γ/γ′ lattice misfit, but Ru appears to alter partitioning behaviors of other elements. Because Re and Ru are two key elements for high generation Ni-based single crystal (SX) superalloys, this work might provide guidelines for designing next generation of SX superalloys.
