Abstract

See full text

A method for preparing an article including a nickel-based superalloy is presented. The method includes heat-treating a workpiece including a nickel-based superalloy at a temperature above a gamma-prime solvus temperature of the nickel-based superalloy and cooling the heat-treated workpiece with a cooling rate less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit/minute from the temperature above the gamma-prime solvus temperature of the nickel-based superalloy so as to obtain a cooled workpiece. The cooled workpiece includes a gamma-prime precipitate phase having an average particle size less than 250 nanometers at a concentration of at least 10 percent by volume, and is substantially free of a gamma-double-prime phase. An article having a minimum dimension greater than 6 inches is also presented. The article includes a material that has a gamma-prime precipitate phase having an average particle size less than 250 nanometers, and is substantially free of a gamma-double-prime phase.
