The invention relates to a
thermal treatment process for
nickel-based
superalloy. The process includes the following steps that homogenizing treatment is carried out, the temperature ranges from 1160 DEG C to 1195 DEG C, the heat preservation time is 1-36 h, and then the
superalloy is cooled to the
room temperature;
solution treatment is carried out, the temperature ranges from 935 DEG C to 995 DEG C, the heat preservation time is 0.5-15 h, the
superalloy is cooled to 650 DEG C at the
cooling speed of 50-650 DEG C / h, and then the superalloy is air-cooled to the
room temperature; and aging treatment is carried out in two periods, according to the first period, the treatment temperature is 720+ / -10 DEG C, the heat preservation time is 8+ / -0.1 h, and then the superalloy is cooled to 620 DEG C at the
cooling speed of 50-56 DEG C / h, and according to the second period, the treatment temperature is 620+ / -10 DEG C, the heat preservation time is 8 h, and then the superalloy is air-cooled to the
room temperature. The aging treatment can also be carried out in two periods, according to the first period, the treatment temperature is 760+ / -10 DEG C, the heat preservation time is 5+ / -0.1 h, and then the superalloy is cooled to 650 DEG C at the
cooling speed of 50-56 DEG C / h, and according to the second period, the treatment temperature is 650+ / -10 DEG C, the heat preservation time is 1+ / -0.1 h, and then the superalloy is air-cooled to the room temperature. According to the
thermal treatment process, the limitation of an existing standard
thermal treatment regime and the limitation of an existing modification thermal treatment regime are broken through, and the
mechanical property of the
nickel-based superalloy is substantially improved.
