Selection of inoculant additives for modifying nickel alloys

Heat-resistant nickel alloys are widely used in the production of castings for aircraft and industrial gas turbine engines. Structural factors are the main determinants of the performance properties of cast nickel alloys. The main disadvantage of castings obtained from these alloys is the coarse-crystalline structure, uneven grain size and columnar crystals in the cross-section. Therefore, the creation of an optimal alloy structure is an important condition for obtaining high properties and ensuring the increased operability of cast parts. Obtaining a fine-grained structure has a beneficial effect on the level of mechanical and operational properties of cast metal. The most promising way to create such a structure is to introduce a small number of additives into the melt that cause heterogeneous formation of crystal nuclei, i.e. modification of the melt with dispersed particles of refractory elements and inocular compounds. To select the type of inocular particles required to initiate crystallization of a particular phase, it is necessary to have a set of data that allows one to form a theoretical understanding of the principles of such a choice. The paper provides a rationale for the selection of the type of particles of inoculators capable of causing the process of artificial changes in the structure of cast metal. For a heat-resistant nickel alloy, the use of refractory particles of ultra-dispersed titanium carbo nitride powder as inoculators are the most effective. When introduced into the melt 0.025 wt. % of such particles, a fine-grained structure of the alloy is obtained, and its ductility in comparison with the unmodified one is more than doubled
