Creep behaviour of the single-crystal nickel-base superalloy CMSX-4 at ultra-high homologous temperature
- Data about the creep behaviour of metals and their alloys at temperatures close to the melting point are very limited. The reason is that most engineering alloys are used at temperatures below 0.6-0.8 of their melting point, so, Investigation of creep at higher temperatures has no practical relevance. For some special applications however it is important, in our case hot isostatic pressing (HIP) of single-crystal turbine blades cast from nickel-base superalloys. In order to remove porosity the blades are HlPed at temperatures between y'-solvus and solidus where superalloy has no strengthening y'-phase and therefore is very soft. For example, the Company Howmet Castings HIPs the superalloy CMSX-4 at the temperature 1288aC, which corresponds to a homologous temperature of about 0.97=1561 K/1612 K (solidus temperature). Therefore knowledge about the creep behaviour of CMSX-4 at this temperature and understanding of the creep mechanisms are necessary to model the kinetics of pore closureData about the creep behaviour of metals and their alloys at temperatures close to the melting point are very limited.
