Abstract: Precipitates, homogenization temperature and homogenization time of GH6783 superalloy were calculated by JMatPro software. Microstructure of the as-cast and homogenized alloy and the segregation behavior of elements were analyzed and characterized by means of optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer, in order to analyze evolution law of microstructure and segregation coefficient during the homogenization process of the GH6783 superalloy. The results show that major precipitates of the GH6783 superalloy include low-melting brittle phase(Laves phase), NiAl phase, et al. Nb element is the most serious segregation element of the as-cast GH6783 superalloy, with segregation coefficient up to 2.205, and Ti element is secondly serious. Nb and Ti elements are positive segregation element, and Cr, Fe and Co are negative segregation. Two stage homogenization treatment at 1130 ℃ for 4 h and 1190 ℃ for 32 h can dissolve Laves phase and make element diffusion uniformly of the as-cast GH6783 superalloy. After homogenization, segregation coefficient of Nb element decreases to 1.048.
