Abstract

Nickel superalloy CM247LC was fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and its microstructure, hardness and tribological properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis showed the presence of γ, γ′ and metastable MC carbides. Microstructure revealed cellular structure with fine MC carbides at cell boundaries. Higher hardness of 408 HV was attributed to grain refinement from rapid solidification and strengthening from MC carbides. Wear testing showed lowest wear rate of 1.46x10-9 mm3/m at 10 N load and predominant wear mechanisms were abrasive and adhesive wear. This study recommends LPBF as a promising method for manufacturing CM247LC superalloy for load bearing and tribological applications.
