Abstract: A new Ni-Co based superalloy was prepared by electron beam smelting. The microstructure, composition, volatilization behavior of alloy elements and temperature distribution of molten pool surface were studied. The results show that with the increase of melting power, the microstructure of ingot is finer and the mass loss is larger. After smelting, the mass fractions of Cr and Al decrease, and the mass fraction of the remaining elements increase. At the same temperature, the saturated vapor pressure of pure Al element is the highest and that of W is the lowest. The melt system was simplified to a Ni-Cr-Co ternary alloy model to study its volatilization behavior. The activity coefficients and activities of alloying elements can be predicted by Miedema model. The theoretical volatilization rates of Ti, Mo and W elements are very small, and the volatilization loss can be ignored basically. The volatilization rate of Al element was calculated by introducing activity coefficient compensation factor. The ave-rage temperature of the molten pool with the melting power of 10 kW, 12 kW and 14 kW is 1 863.6 K, 1 890.6 K and 1 904.3 K respectively, and the corresponding maximum temperature of the molten pool is 2 368.1 K, 2 402.4 K and 2 419.8 K.
