GH4037 Alloy properties：

When the w(C) in GH4037 alloy is 0.02%~0.06%, the performance of high-carbon alloy is better than that of low-carbon alloy. When w(C) is 0.05%~0.06%, the alloy has good comprehensive properties; When w(C) is higher than 0.06%, the alloy is prone to form a band-like structure with uneven coarse and fine grains. The phenomenon of leaf blank falling during machining is related to the content of silicon in the alloy. The alloy has a certain notch sensitivity around 700°C.

GH4037 Uses of alloys：

GH4037 alloy has been used in the manufacture of aero engine turbine working blades, which has been tested by long-term use and has good performance

GH4037 Process performance：

Heat treatment:

Solution treatment: HuaNickel GH4037 nickel alloy is heated to austenitic temperature and maintained at this temperature for a period of time to fully dissolve the alloying elements in the austenite matrix. It is then rapidly cooled to room temperature to allow the austenite to transition to an age-hardening state. Solution treatment can eliminate the stress in GH4037 nickel alloy and improve its plasticity and toughness.

Aging treatment: GH4037 nickel alloy is heated to a low temperature tempering temperature, and maintained at this temperature for a certain period of time, so that the alloying elements are precipitated in the matrix and the matrix structure is strengthened. Aging treatment can improve the high-temperature strength and durability of GH4037 nickel alloy, but it will also reduce its plasticity and toughness. According to the actual needs, different aging temperatures and times can be selected to obtain the best comprehensive performance.
