2 superalloys were studied. The results show that, the HIPed superalloys have the high densification degree, and the sintered superalloys are composed of the (Fe, Ni) solidsolution phase and the dispersed M6C carbide strengthening phase. With the increase of sintering temperature from 950 ℃ to 1050 ℃, the density and mechanical properties of the HIPed sintered superalloys increase. When the HIP temperature reaches 1100 ℃, the grains of the densified sintered superalloys grow significantly and the mechanical tensile properties decrease. The tensile fracture of the densified sintered superalloys at room-temperature is mainly transgranular, and the grains in the local area are stretched and cracked. The tensile fracture of the densified sintered superalloys at 650 ℃ is a mixture of the transgranular and intergranular fracture, and the dimples in matrix are elongated along the direction of stress.
