Abstract

The effect of the surface treatments on the high temperature properties of the Inconel 617, one of the promising candidate alloys for high temperature heat-transport system, has been studied. Various surface modification methods including a rapid thermal process(RTP), a hydrothermal treatment, and a physical vapor deposition($2{\mu}m$ thick TiAlN film by an arc discharge) were applied to the Inconel 617. The morphological and the structural properties of the surface-modified Inconel 617 samples after heat treatment at $1000^{\circ}C$ in the air were compared to find out whether inhomogeneous formation of $Cr_2O_3$ crust at the surface region was suppressed or not. TiAlN-coated Inconel 617 showed homogeneous microstructure and the lowest wear loss compared to bare, RTP- and hydrothermally-treated Inconel 617 by suppressing the $Cr_2O_3$ crust formation.

고온 열수송시스템용 구조재료인 Inconel 617의 표면 처리에 따른 고온물성 개선에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 표면처리 방법으로는 Inconel 617 기판 상에 급속가열(RTP) 및 수열처리를 통한 균질산화물 형성과 물리적 기상증착법(Arc discharge)법에 의한 TiAlN(두께 약 $2{\mu}m$ 박막 코팅을 적용하였다. 불균질 산화물($Cr_2O_3$) 형성 억제에 미치는 표면처리의 효과 및 표면 미세구조가 물성에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보기 위해 표면처리된 Inconel 617 시편들을 $1000^{\circ}C$, 대기중에서 열처리 하였으며, 열처리된 시편들에 대해 고온 상형성 및 미세구조를 비교 분석하였다. RTP와 수열처리를 통한 표면산화물 형성보다는 TiAlN 박막 증착을 통한 보호피막의 형성이 Inconel 617 표면에서 생성되는 불균일 $Cr_2O_3$ 막의 성장을 효과적으로 억제할 수 있어서 더 균질한 미세구조와 가장 우수한 내마모 특성을 나타내었다.
