Abstract

Due to the small freezing range of eutectic alloys, the Cotac-type alloys might be viable alternatives to conventional Ni-based superalloys when processed through additive manufacturing. Laser-pass assessment reveals that both Cotac-74 and Cotac-744 display improved cracking resistance when compared to the conventional Ni-based superalloy CM247LC. During laser powder bed fusion Cotac-74 displayed the highest cracking resistance, with no microcracking detected in the as-built or heat-treated microstructure. The promising results presented for Cotac-74 highlight the possible use of this alloy for the additive manufacturing of high-temperature aerospace components.
