Experimental characterization and mechanical modeling of creep induced rafting in superalloys
(2012)
A constitutive model has been developed for the high temperature mechanical behavior of single crystal superalloys, including rafting and its consequences. The flow stress depends on the γ channel width via the Orowan stress. An evolution equation for channel widening during high temperature straining has been derived and calibrated with measurements. Therein, rafting is assumed to be driven by the relaxation of internal stresses. The model is able to represent the mechanical softening at high stresses consecutive to rafting. The model has been applied to simulate rafting during uniaxial creep in several crystal orientations, in notched specimens as well as in cyclically loaded specimens.
An extension of the constitutive viscoplastic model of Meric and Cailletaud is presented. The new model
accounts for coupling of plasticity and viscoplasticity to describe the rate dependence at low and moderate
temperatures. The model contains two boundaries: an elastic one and a viscoplastic one. Between the
boundaries, the only contribution to yielding is the rate dependent viscoplastic mechanism. Once the viscoplastic
boundary is reached, an additional rate independent flow mechanism becomes active. However, the extended
model is not able to predict properly both creep and long-term relaxation tests simultaneously. Therefore, a
deformation-induced softening is assumed, which is supposed to mainly affect static recovery.
The model has been calibrated with the mechanical tests on a single crystal nickel-basis superalloy. The uniaxial
tests have been carried out in the temperature interval 600°C – 1100°C in [001], [011] and [111] specimens.
The predicted creep, relaxation and non-isothermal cyclic tests exhibit reasonable agreement with the
experimental observations.
Simulations of cavitation processes on a grain boundary under creep conditions have been carried out, taking into account nucleation, growth, coalescence and sintering of multiple cavities. Cavity growth rates have been calculated through a resolution procedure based on the use of holomorphic complex functions. Three dimensionless parameters have been identified that are responsible for the cavitation development. Parameter studies have been carried out in order to characterise the mechanisms that are responsible for the cavitation development. These studies have been used to develop a physically motivated, simplified model in order to describe the cavitation development of the simulations in terms of global state variables. The simplified model is able to reproduce the cavitation development for all considered combinations of the dimensionless parameters and allows the description of the thickening behaviour of a cavitating grain boundary.
