METHOD FOR ISOTHERMALLY FORGING NICKEL BASE SUPER-ALLOYS IN AIR Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B21J5/02 C22F1/10 

FIELD: plastic working of metals, possibly forging blanks of nickel base super-alloy.

SUBSTANCE: method is realized with use of forging press with forging die sets of nickel base super-alloy having yield limit no less than stress of plastic yielding of super-alloy at forging for making forged pieces at temperature range approximately from 926.67°C till approximately 1010.00°C at nominal deformation rate. Blank for forging and die sets are heated till said forging temperature. Forging is realized at such temperature and at nominal deformation rate. Nickel base super-alloy selected from group of alloys may be used as material of forged blank. According to one variant of invention blank of compacted powder of nickel base super-alloy is used for forging. In such case die sets are made of nickel-base super-alloy containing, mass%: aluminum, approximately 5 - 7%; molybdenum, approximately 8 - 15%; tungsten, approximately 5 - 15%; magnesium, near 140 ppm; nickel and impurities, the balance.

EFFECT: lowered costs for producing forged pieces of super-alloy with desired properties.
