Patent ID: 8663404

Claim:
A method of treating a superalloy component comprising: solution treating the component for a period of about 4 to about 10 hours at a solution treating temperature of about 1750 to about 1850°F.; cooling the component from the solution treating temperature to a stabilizing temperature of 1580 to about 1650°F. at an average rate of about 1°F/min to about 25°F/min; stabilizing the component at the stabilizing temperature of 1580 to about 1650°F. for a period of about 1 to about 3 hours; cooling the component from the stabilizing temperature to room temperature; precipitation aging the component at a first precipitation aging temperature of about 1275 to about 1375°F. for about 3 to about 15 hours; cooling the component at an average rate of 50 to about 150°F/hour to a second precipitation aging temperature of about 1100 to about 1200°F. for a time period of about 2 to about 15 hours; and cooling the component from the second precipitation aging temperature to room temperature.
