T1 - Experimental Determination of Temperature Dependence of Structural–Phase Parameters of Nickel-Based Superalloy N2 - The temperature dependences of the periods of the crystal lattices of the γ and γ' phases, their dimensional mismatch (misfit), and volume fraction of the γ' phase of an experimental single-crystal hightemperature nickel-based alloy have been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis in the temperature range of 18–1150°C. The temperature ranges in which intense changes in the structural and phase characteristics of the alloy under study take place have been determined.

T1 - Influence of the Sign of the γ/γ' Misfit on the Structure and Creep Strength of Single Crystals of Nickel-Based Superalloys N2 - Using the method of directional solidification, single crystals of experimental nickel-based superalloys with negative, zero, and positive γ/γ' misfits are obtained. The γ' solvus, solidus, and liquidus temperatures of the alloys are determined, and the microstructures of the alloys after directional solidification, heat treatment, and creep tests are investigated. Creep tests are performed at temperatures of 800 and 1000°C. It is found that single crystals of the alloy with a negative γ/γ' misfit have the highest creep resistance and lifetime (the crystal lattice period of the γ' phase is smaller than that of the γ matrix).

Assessing creep behavior is critical for estimating the in-service life of these alloys. Conventionally, uniaxial creep tests are widely conducted at elevated temperatures to determine creep rates. In recent years, bending creep of cantilevers, when combined with digital image correlation (DIC), has emerged as a promising high-throughput technique for rapidly estimating creep life. However, the applicability of bending creep above 700 ◦C for high-temperature alloys using DIC has not been fully established. In this work, we compare uniaxial creep rates of the nickel-based superalloy IN738LC with bending creep rates measured at 850 ◦C using high-temperature DIC. The bending creep data show excellent agreement with uniaxial creep results in the stress range of 240–360 MPa. The measured creep xponent, a critical rate-determining parameter, is found to be ~8 for both uniaxial and bending creep, with the rate data scattered within a factor of two. An in-house experimental setup was developed to perform bending creep tests at high temperatures, with strain monitored through DIC. Our results demonstrate that bending creep, combined with DIC, provides a reliable and efficient method for creep testing of high-temperature alloys. Compared to conventional uniaxial creep experiments, this approach requires significantly less time and material, thereby reducing effort, energy, and cost. We anticipate that this technique will serve as a foundation for testing precious high-temperature materials. For instance, in ongoing rapid discoveries of advanced alloys, in-service creep life can be evaluated much faster with reduced material requirements. Moreover, this method holds strong potential for application to high-entropy alloys and additively manufactured alloys designed for demanding high-temperature environments.

In the present study, four different scan strategies and their impact on the development of microstructure, texture, and residual stresses in laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing of a nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718 was investigated. Light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy combined with electron backscatter diffraction, and neutron diffraction were used as the characterization tools. Strong textures with epitaxially grown columnar grains were observed along the build direction for the two individual scan strategies. Patterns depicting the respective scan strategies were visible in the build plane, which dictated the microstructure development in the other planes. An alternating strategy combining the individual strategies in the successive layers and a 67◦ rotational strategy weakened the texture by forming finer microstructural features. Von Mises equivalent stress plots revealed lower stress values and gradients, which translates as lower distortions for the alternating and rotational strategies. Overall results confirmed the scope for manipulating the microstructure, texture, and residual stresses during laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing by effectively controlling the scan strategies.
