Elimination of μ phase and improvement of hot corrosion resistance of a nickel-base superalloy by laserglazing

Abstract
Laser irradiation of a wrought nickel-base superalloy with high tungsten and molybdenum contents can eliminate acicular μ. phase, which has a tendency to precipitate out in the matrix or beneath the aluminized layer after prolonged exposure to high temperature. It is shown that laserglazing refines the microstructure and homogenizes the composition distribution, markedly improving the hot corrosion resistance.
