The invention discloses a
hot working process of a GH4738
nickel-based
superalloy. The process comprises the following steps that A, the GH4738
nickel-based
superalloy is taken as a
raw material, and is smelted by adopting a
vacuum induction melting (VIM) process and a vacuum consumable remelting (VAR) process in sequence to obtain a vacuum consumable
ingot; B, the vacuum consumable
ingot is subjected to homogenization treatment and cogging
forging treatment, and a GH4738
alloy bar blank is obtained; C, the GH4738
alloy bar blank is put into a gas furnace to be heated along with the furnace, flat anvil upsetting is conducted through a
forging hammer after heat preservation, and a GH4738
alloy disc
forge piece is obtained; and D, the GH4738 alloy disc
forge piece is sequentially subjected to
solution treatment, stabilizing treatment and secondary aging treatment, and the GH4738
nickel-based high-temperature alloy uniform in grain size and excellent in high-temperature
erosion performance is obtained. According to the
hot working process, the phenomena of mixed crystals, coarse crystals and the like in a GH4738 high-temperature alloy deformation structure can be avoided, the overall
hardness and high-temperature
erosion performance of a final
forge piece are improved, and meanwhile the yield of the forge piece is increased.
