High Temperature Spin Testing of a Superalloy Disk With a Dual Grain Structure
Date: February 16, 2015
Location: ,
One of our spin testing clients gave us a call regarding conducting spin testing on a Superalloy disk that features concentrations of two different grain structures. The specific testing parameters called out spinning the disk at 20,000 RPM for 12 hours at a temperature of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. A subsolvus disk – one that exhibited a single grain structure –was also tested as the experiment control.
The results were measured after testing by measuring the diameter of the disk in 4 locations to indicate growth. Attached is a full report regarding the test details.
