A TC10 alloy casting with defect was treated by HIP process at 940-950°C and 120-130 MPa for 3-3.5 h. Microstructure of the defect was analyzed. Results show that the closing interface that is black and incontinuous line-like still remains. The black interface was observed by SEM-EDAX. Through comparing the composition between the matrix and the interface, it was revealed that the black interface was not cavities enriched in impurities, but a nonuniform interface of alloy elements. The analysis results show that the closing mechanism of casting defect in HIP is a creeping and diffusion process. When the pressure is higher than the metal creeping strength at a certain temperature, the defects are closed gradually. The longer the holding time is, the better the closing results are.
