A Vacancy Model of Pore Annihilation During Hot Isostatic Pressing of Single Crystals of Nickel-Base Superalloys

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research Aims and scope

Abstract

An improved diffusion model of pore annihilation during hot isostatic pressing of single crystals of nickel-base superalloys is proposed. The model considers dissolution of pores by emission of vacancies and their diffusion sink to low-angle boundaries. The calculation, which takes into account pore size distribution, predicts the kinetics of pore annihilation similar to experimental one.
