Abstract
In this study, segregation at stacking faults (SFs) in a Co-Ni superalloy with the composition of Co-33Ni-20Cr-10Mo-xNb [wt%] (x = 0,1,2) has been investigated by phase-field simulation for clarifying the roles of each element in the Suzuki effect which is believed to be responsible for strain-aging. The simulation result suggested that Ni-depletion can be very significant in the absence of Nb, and the deviation in concentration can exceed 4 wt%. The stacking fault energy (SFE) was decreased from 35 mJ/m2 to -775 mJ/m 2 as a result of the segregation. Nb-addition enhanced the Cr-segregation significantly, however, it resulted in increase in SFE although the strain-aging can be enhanced by Nb-addition. The reasons for the discrepancy are discussed from the viewpoint of the effect of Nb-addition on the kinetics and energetics of Cr-segregation.
