Abstract
In this study, the liquation cracking temperature range (LCTR) of over-aged 247LC superalloy repair welds was quantitatively evaluated using spot-Varestraint testing, especially for application in the repair weld heat-affected zone (HAZ). The metallurgical mechanism of the evaluated liquation cracking susceptibility and variation of the LCTRs of the over-aged 247LC superalloys..... More

Abstract
The metallurgical aspects of weld solidification cracking in Ni-based superalloys (with Ti+Al > 5 mass%) have not been widely investigated thus far. Herein, the solidification cracking susceptibility of the CM247LC superalloy and its welds with ERNiFeCr-2 filler wire was quantitatively evaluated using a novel modified Varestraint testing method, for the.....
