Superalloys iron-based

nickel-, and cobalt-based alloys used primarily for high-temperature applications are known as superalloys. The iron-based grades, which are less expensive than cobalt- or nickel-based grades, are of three types

Nickel-iron-chrome alloys include the iron base superalloys and the heat resistant castings (see previous section). Iron-base superalloys are an extension of the austenitic stainless steels and include alloys such as the Incoloy 800 series. They are used for piping and manifolds in refining, power generation and petrochemicals. 

Iron-based superalloys. The influence of solution treatment temperature on flie mierostrueture, fiaeture surface, composition and amount of precipitates, tensile properties of hot-rolled speeimens of Cr-Fe-Ni alloys were studied by [2003Cai]. It is reported that optimum meehanieal properties can be obtained by solution-treatment at 1000°C followed by conventional aging.

Detailed consideration of the structure of many of the advanced and complex alloys which are of considerable technological importance (high-strength titanium alloys, nickel-base superalloys, etc.) is beyond the scope of this section, other than to point out that no new principles are involved. Certain titanium alloys, for example, exhibit a martensitic transformation, while many nickel-base superalloys are age hardening. Similarly, cast irons, although by no means advanced materials, are relatively complex they are considered in Section 1.3 where graphitisation is discussed.

The arrangement of the melting and vacuum spray chambers is critical for guiding the liquid metal to eject into the vacuum chamber. Difficulties exist in precisely controlling the expulsion of the liquid metal into the vacuum chamber. Therefore, flaky droplets may be formed in vacuum atomization. Although vacuum atomization was developed mainly for the production of high-purity nickel and cobalt based superalloy powders, it is also applied to atomize the alloys of aluminum, copper and iron. 

Solution databases now exist for a niunber of the major metallic alloy systems such as steels, Ni- based superalloys and other alloy systems, and highly accurate calculation have been made which even a few years ago would have been considered impossible. The number of substance databases are increasing and the numbers of substances they include is reaching well into the thousands. Substance and solution databases are increasingly being combined to predict complex reactions such as in gas evolution in cast-irons and for oxidation reactions, and it is already possible to consider calculations of extreme complexity such as the reactions which may occur in the burning of coal in a industrial power generator or the distribution of elements in meteorites. 

Iron-niekcl base superalloys were developed primarily from the stainless steels. In the United Slates, these alloys included 19-9 DL. lb-25-6, and A-286, Luler, higher nickel contents were employed to take advantage of the superior oxidation resistance of nickel and the beneficial effects of y -forming elements. All iron-nickel base superalloys rely on solid solution hardening lo some extent.
