Anisotropic Creep Rupture Properties of a Nickel-base Single Crystal Superalloy at High Temperature

The creep rupture properties of a single crystal superalloy were tested at 975℃/255 MPa as a function of the deviation degrees from [001].The misorientation of the specimens away from [001] distributed approximately along a line between [001]-[011] and [001]-[111] boundaries in the triangle of the stereographic projection.Creep rupture lifetimes of the specimens were not sensitive to the misorientation until the deviation degree exceeded ～30 deg.Two steps of lattice rotation were found in all specimens during creep,first towards the [001]-[111] boundary,and then to [001] or [111] along the boundary.Single slip and strong asymmetric deformation were observed during the first stage of lattice rotation in specimens with large misorientation.The rotation mechanism was associated with the activated slip systems according to the calculated Schmid factors.The impact of lattice rotation on the rupture properties was also discussed.

FGH95粉末镍基合金的组织结构与蠕变断裂特征

通过对不同工艺处理FGH95合金进行组织形貌观察及持久性能测试,研究了组织结构对合金持久性能的影响规律。结果表明:经1150℃固溶和时效处理后,合金中有粗大γ′相在较宽的边界区域不连续分布,其周围存在γ′相贫化区;经1160℃固溶及时效处理后,合金中粗大γ′相完全溶解,在晶内弥散分布高体积分数的γ′相,并有粒状(Cr,Nb)23(C,B)6硼碳化合物在晶内及沿晶界不连续析出;经1165℃固溶和时效后,合金的晶粒尺寸明显长大,并有硬而脆的碳化物膜沿晶界连续析出。在650℃、1034MPa条件下,经1160℃固溶和时效合金具有较高蠕变抗力和较长持久寿命,蠕变期间的变形机制是位错以Orowan机制饶过γ′相、或位错剪切γ′相,其中晶界处不连续析出的粒状碳化物可有效阻碍位错滑移,是使合金具有较好蠕变性能的主要原因。蠕变后期,合金的变形特征是晶内发生单取向滑移,随蠕变进行位错在晶界处塞积,并引起应力集中,致使裂纹在晶界处萌生及扩展是合金的蠕变断裂机制。     

Effect of Phosphorus on Microstructure and High Temperature Properties of a Cast Ni—base Superalloy

Effect of phosphorus on the microstructure and high temperature properties of a cast Ni-base superalloy M963 has been investigated.SEM observation and EDS analysis showed that P was mostly enriched in the interdendritic region,and the P-rich phase was formed in the front position of finally solidified eutectics in high P doped alloys.It was found that the P-rich phase,as preferred initiation and propagation site of cracks,could aggravate the fracture process at high temperature in high P doped alloys.Consequently,high P addition would reduce remarkably the ductility and creep life of M963 superalloy at high temperature.

Relationship between Grain Size and Fatigue-Creep Interaction Behaviour of Superalloy GH698

The deformation and fracture behaviourof nickel-base superalloy GH698 with differentgrain size have been studied at 700℃ underfatigue-creep interaction conditions. Comparedwith coarse-grained specimens, the grain refiningprocess shows obvious effect on the mechanicalbehaviour of the alloy, i. e. in F and C zones,the fraction of pure fatigue and creep fractureon fracture surfaces is greatly reduced, whichdecreases and increases the fracture life inzones F and C respectively, in FC and C zones,creep deformation is greatly restrained by thealternating stress component, which increasesthe fracture life remarkably. It is also provedthat in spite of the difference in microstru-tures such as grain size, for a constant tem-perature, a unique life equation t_r=A~n canbe used to predict rupture life within the stressregion controlled by the same fracture mode.

Effect of Solidification Interface Morphologies on Microstructures of a Ni-base Superalloy

A cast Ni-base superalloy K5 wasdirectionally solidified and various solidification in-terfaces including plane front,cellular,cellular-dendritic and dendritic were obtained in awider range of G/R ratio by using improved highwithdrawal device and liquid metal cooling experi-mental sets.The precipitation pattern of some prin-cipal phases of the alloy and correlation of the vari-ous interfaces with microstructure were studied sys-tematically.It was indicated that the morphology ofsolidification interface of superalloy K5 varied withG/R ratio and that the solidification interfacemorphologies have a considerable effect on the fea-tures of phases both precipitated duringsolidification and post-solidification.Plane frontand cellular directional solidification of superalloyK5 lead to a substantial decrease of MC carbideand elimination of γ-γ'eutectic,but makeneedle-shape M_6C carbide precipitate easily duringageing treatment.The finer dendritic structuressolidified under the condition of higher cooling ratehave less dendritic segregation and idealmicrostructure.     

[110]取向DD3镍基单晶合金的组织结构及蠕变行为

通过蠕变曲线的测定及微观组织观察,研究了[110]取向镍基单晶合金的组织结构与蠕变行为。结果表明,经完全热处理后,合金中立方γ′相沿〈100〉取向规则排列;蠕变期间合金中形成筏状γ′相的取向与应力轴方向成45°角,蠕变后期在近断口区域筏状γ′相发生扭折。在1040℃、137MPa条件下,合金在稳态蠕变期间具有较高的应变速率和较短的蠕变寿命,而蠕变期间的变形特征是位错在γ基体通道中滑移和剪切筏状γ′相;其中,γ′相形成筏状结构后,沿与应力轴成45°角的基体通道承受最大剪切应力,使蠕变位错易于在基体通道中滑移,是使合金具有较大应变速率的主要原因。

Ru对一种高W镍基单晶合金蠕变性能的影响

设计并制备了4%W/无Ru、6%W/无Ru以及6%W/2%Ru三种镍基单晶高温合金,通过蠕变性能测试、组织形貌观察、元素分布测定以及XRD谱线测定,研究Ru对一种高W镍基单晶合金蠕变性能的影响。结果表明,提高W含量会促进拓扑密堆相(TCP)析出,从而影响蠕变寿命,6%W/无Ru合金在1070℃/137 MPa条件下的蠕变寿命仅为58 h。元素Ru可改善元素W在γ/γ两相的浓度分布,高温蠕变期间元素Ru可抑制元素W由γ相向γ相扩散。6%W/2%Ru合金经高温蠕变无TCP相析出,其在1070℃/137 MPa条件下的蠕变寿命高达383 h。三种合金在高温蠕变期间,γ相均可形成垂直于应力轴方向的筏状结构,TCP相可破坏筏状结构的连续性,导致γ/γ两相扭折程度加剧,是6%W/无Ru合金蠕变寿命较低的主要原因。     

An Assessment of the C* and KI Parameters for Predicting Creep Crack Growth in a Ni-Base Superalloy (Waspaloy) at 700^C

The results of experimental creep crack growth tests, using compact tension specimens, made from a Ni-base superalloy (Waspaloy) at 700^{^}C are presented. The experimental results indicate that the creep crack growth rate data for the Ni-base superalloy Waspaloy, at 700^{^}C, can be correlated using the C^* parameter, calculated from load-line displacement rates. The mode-I stress intensity factor, K_I, does not appear to be capable of correlating the data except at high creep crack propagation rates. Analytical solutions indicate that creep crack growth was occurring under transient creep conditions in the experiments. Finite element (FE) simulations were performed in which the experimentally determined crack growth versus time results were imposed. The good agreement between the resulting FE solutions for load-line displacements and corresponding C^* values with the experimental results show that the FE simulation was successful. The FE simulation revealed that the creep zone increases as the crack growth and a transient state of creep occurs in the vicinity of the advancing crack tip. An apparent correlation between the crack growth rates and the C^* parameter has been shown. This information is helpful in assessing the likely usefulness of the C^* and K_I parameters for predicting creep crack growth in more general situations.

Modeling and Simulation of Microstructurally Small Crack Formation and Growth in Notched Nickel-base Superalloy Component

Studies on microstructurally small fatigue cracks have illustrated that heterogeneous microstructural features such as inclusions, pores, grain size distribution as well as precipitate size distribution and volume fraction create stochasticity in their behavior under cyclic loads. Therefore, to enhance safe-life and damage-tolerance approaches, accurate modeling of the influence of these heterogeneous microstructural features on microstructurally small crack formation and growth from stress raisers is necessary. In this work, computational micromechanics was used to predict the high cycle fatigue of microstructurally small crack formation and growth in notched polycrystalline nickel-base superalloys and to quantify the variability in the driving force for formation and growth of microstructurally small crack from notch root in the matrix with non-metallic inclusions. The framework involves computational modeling to obtain three-dimensional perspectives of microstructural features influencing fatigue crack growth in notched nickel-base superalloys, which accounts for the effects of nonlocal notch root plasticity, loading, microstructural variability, and extrinsic defects on local cyclic plasticity at the microstructure-scale level. This approach can be used to explore sensitivity of minimum fatigue lifetime to microstructures. The simulation results obtained from this framework were calibrated to existing experimental results for polycrystalline nickel-base superalloys.     

Thermomechanical Fatigue Behaviour of a Nickel Base Superalloy

The isothermal low cycle fatigue (LCF)and thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) behaviourof a Ni-base superalloy was investigated. Theresults show that temperature plays an importantrole in both LCF and TMF. The alloy shows thelowest LCF fatigue resistance in the intermediatetemperature range (～760℃). For strain-controlledTMF, in-phase (IP) cycling is more damagingthan out-phase (OP) cycling. The high tempera-ture exposure in the TMF cycling influencesthe deformation behaviour at the low temperature.LCF lives at different temperatures, and IPand OP TMF lives are successfully correlatedby using the hysteresis parameter Δσ·Δε_p.
