HIPed FGH96 superalloy prepared by AA powder was used as the research object, and the PPB precipitations and microstructures before and after different hot deformations were studied. The results show that PPB precipitates with circular distribution can be seen in HIPed FGH96 superalloy, and the coarse strip prime γ′ phase with circular chain distribution is one of the main characters of PPB. After hot deformation, the PPB in FGH96 superalloy is deformed and broken, the recrystallization grains are refined and twisted, and the grain misorientation becomes smaller. With the increase of deformation temperature and hot deformation, and the decrease of deformation rate, the deformation and fragmentation of PPB precipitates are more significant, the size of the primary residual γ′ phase becomes smaller, and the volume becomes less. The increase of deformation temperature and hot deformation, and the decrease of deformation rate are beneficial to reduce or even eliminate PPB precipitations.

The influence of different grades of prior particle boundary (PPB) in PM FGH96 superalloy during high-cycle fatigue test at 550 ℃ was investigated by the in-situ fatigue test in SEM. The results show that the PPB in P/M FGH96 superalloys by plasma rotating electrode process (PREP) + hot isostatic press (HIP) is constituted of large size γ' and carbide. There are no significant effect on the initiation and propagation of high cycle fatigue crack in different grades of PPB. Crack initiation is initiated in the grain interior, and the propagation is transgranular or intergranular, which is influenced by the angle between the grain boundary and the stress axis. In the fast crack growth zone and the transient zone, the fracture characteristics of serious grade PPB FGH96 superalloy are transgranular and along PPB globular surfaces.
