This work focuses on the influence of creep phenomenon on the cast IN713C nickel-based superalloy. The carrot-shape IN713C superalloy castings were produced in an investment casting cluster mould and the creep test samples were then prepared from the castings. The creep tests were carried out in order to investigate processing–microstructure–property relationships. The resultant macro- and microstructures were observed and characterized after the creep tests using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy. The aim of the analysis was to reveal the changes in the microstructure that occurred as a result of the creep and to identify the phases that participate in voids formation, and crack generation and propagation during the creep tests. It was confirmed that the creep resistance of the IN713C superalloy is negatively affected by some structural characteristics such as porosity, (γ + γ′) eutectic or carbide precipitates along the grain boundaries. Our work confirms that a combination of thermal conditions with a tensile force affected the microstructure of IN713C nickel-based superalloy causing changes in morphologies of the existing precipitations and phase transformations, as in the case of the carbides. Additionally, carbide sulphides containing primarily Zr and intermetallic phase including mainly Ni and Zr were observed.

Artykuł dotyczy wpływu zjawiska pełzania na strukturę odlewniczego nadstopu na osnowie niklu IN713C. Makro- i mikrostrukturę materiału uzyskaną w efekcie przeprowadzonej próby pełzania obserwowano przy różnych powiększeniach. Celem badań było ujawnienie zmian struktury, jakie pojawiły się w efekcie pełzania i zidentyfikowanie faz, które brały udział w powstawaniu nieciągłości materiału oraz generowaniu i propagacji pęknięć podczas próby pełzania.
