Abstract Scope |
Nimonic 80A is a highly regarded nickel-based superalloy known for its exceptional high-temperature properties. In applications like forming tools, the demand for improved wear resistance is critical to prolong the material's lifespan while maintaining mechanical integrity and microstructural stability.
The research focuses on incorporating tungsten carbide (WC) particles into Nimonic 80A. The powder-based directed energy deposition (DED) method added WC particles at varying concentrations (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) to comprehensively understand their impact. The microstructure of the modified material remains stable within specified concentration ranges, opening possibilities for applications in forming tools.
This study provides valuable insights into the microstructural optimization of Nimonic 80A with WC reinforcement and highlights its potential for high-temperature and wear-resistant applications. The findings contribute to the development of advanced materials with tailored mechanical properties for demanding engineering applications in high-stress environments. |
