Digital technologies in detecting inhomogeneous concentration zones in heat-resistant nickel alloys structure, including those obtained by selective laser melting

This work presents the experimental data obtained using an integrated approach in the study of the chemical, crystallographic and morphological homogeneity of the structure of a heat-resistant material on a nickel base with carbide-intermetallic hardening and an increased content of the γ-phase, synthesized on single-crystal substrates of various compositions with CHO <001> in Z-direction. Using the proposed method for studying the capabilities and certification of different-level structural structures of samples in the initial state and after thermal study of the impact. The analysis was carried out using the system for EBSD analysis integrated into the scanning electron microscope and the software package for the analysis of electron microscopic images.
