Introduction of BЖ98(RUS)GH3044:
BЖ98(RUS)GH3044 alloy is a solid solution strengthened nickel-based superalloy (rich in W and Cr elements), which can maintain high strength, plasticity and good oxidation resistance below 900 ℃. It is widely used in aerospace and can be used to make high-temperature components (such as gas generators, etc.). The microstructure of this alloy after solution treatment is single-phase austenite + carbides (including CrM23C6 phase and WM6C phase rich), and usually also contains a small amount of TiN and TiC phases. Adding a small amount of C forms carbides between grains, thereby preventing grain coarsening and crack initiation, and playing a role in strengthening grain boundaries and enhancing fracture strength.

BЖ98(RUS)GH3044 forming properties.
1) The forging heating temperature of BЖ98(RUS)GH3044 steel ingot is 1170℃±10℃, and the terminal temperature shall not be lower than 900℃. The heating temperature for slab rolling is 1190±10℃, and for thin plate rolling, it is 1130℃±10℃. The total reduction rate of cold rolling for thin plates with a final rolling temperature above 800℃ is approximately 30%.

2) Sheet BЖ98(RUS)GH3044 has good stamping process performance. The limit deep drawing coefficient of the supply state of cold-rolled thin plates is k limit =2.06.

BЖ98(RUS)GH3044 part heat treatment process.
The intermediate heat treatment temperature is 1140℃±10℃, held for 3 to 5 minutes, and air-cooled. The final heat treatment temperature is determined based on the working conditions of the components. For components requiring good thermal fatigue performance, solution treatment is carried out at 1150℃, held for 3 to 5 minutes, and air-cooled. For high-temperature forced components, solution treatment is conducted at 1200℃, held for 3 to 5 minutes, and air-cooled.
