TL;DRAbstract

Modern conventionally cast (CC) Ni-based superalloys are highly alloyed metals that undergo a number of complex microstructural changes during in-service exposure to high temperatures. This paper focuses on modelling the kinetics of reactions involving carbides. <br/>An important element in various approaches for modelling of kinetics of reactions in Ni-based superalloys is so-called thermodynamic modelling (CALPHAD method). A detailed comparison of CALPHAD predictions made by one database with extensive long term experimental data for the MarM002 Ni-based superalloy for all phases is presented.<br/>A comparison of CALPHAD predictions made by the Thermotech database for Ni-based superalloys with long term experimental data shows that for the MarM002 Ni-based superalloy the volume fractions and compositions of the FCC gamma ?matrix, the L12 ordered gamma' and the M23C6 carbide phase are predicted well. Thermodynamic modelling is currently unable to predict the presence of M6
