Abstract

Secondary M23C6 precipitation around primary MC carbide in a directionally solidified cobalt-base superalloy was investigated during aging at 850 °C. The results show that it is closely related to the decomposition of the MC. Two mechanisms were suggested, i.e., the in situ reaction, MC+γ→M23C6+C, and the direct reaction, M+C→M23C6, in which MC acts as a carbon source.
