Microstructure control and Mechanical Properties of Oriented Porous GH3536

Abstract:

Oriented porous superalloy was prepared by freeze-casting with GH3536 powder as raw material and guar gum/CMC-Na as stabilizers. The results show that slurries could be stabilized by adding 0.4~1wt.% of guar gum or 1~3wt.% of sodium carboxymethylcellulose; as the solid loading increases from 10vol.% to 30vol.%, the width of oriented pore decreases from 308μm to 198μm and the wall thickness increases from 81μm to 223μm, with the axial and radial compressive strength improving from 10.72MPa and 9.2MPa to 75.02MPa and 78.49MPa, respectively. The fabricated oriented porous superalloy is a plastic material with the ability of absorbing energy.
