Abstract

The typical superalloy GH4169 was prepared by selective laser melting (SLM), and then subjected to appropriate post-heat treatments, afterwardsits tensile properties was assessed in temperature range 25~650 ^oC. The microstructure evolution, tensile behavior at different temperatures were examinedby scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, and the corresponding deformation mechanism of SLM GH4169 alloy was disscussed. The results show that the tensile curves of the of SLM GH4169 alloy are monotonic and smooth at 25 ^oC, 600 ^oC and 650 ^oC, but those at 450~550 ^oC are sawtooth-like. With the increasing test temperature, the tensile strength and yield strength of the SLM GH4169 alloy decreases from 1458 MPa to 1228 MPa and 1234 MPa to 1051 MPa respectively. The relationship between tensile strength and temperature of the SLM GH4169 is roughly linear with an error is less than 2%.The strengthening phases may obstruct the dislocation movement and plays a certain strengthening role in the temperature range 25~450 ^oC. While in the range 550~650 ^oC, slip bands may be the main deformation mode, and δ phases also has an adverse effect on tensile properties.
