A new experimental technique (repeated load annealing of flat wedge shaped specimens) was proposed for characterization of microstructural degradation under creep conditions. This technique was applied to investigate the microstructural degradation of the nickel-base superalloy CMSX-4 in a wide range of temperatures and stress levels. The results obtained allowed to describe analytically the kinetics of rafting, which is important to predict the reduction of fatigue lifetime and yield stress.
Constitutive modelling of creep degradation due to rafting in single-crystalline Ni-base superalloys
(2009)
A constitutive model for the mechanical behaviour of single-crystalline superalloys at high temperatures has been developed. The model relies on the slip system theory and is able to predict rafting and its influence on plastic flow. The kinetics of rafting are assumed to be driven by the reduction of the internal stresses represented by the macroscopic back-stress. The rafting effect is incorporated in the model through the dependence of the Orowan stress on the channel width. The model has been validated for the alloy CMSX-4 at 950 °C. The rafting part of the model has been calibrated by measurements of the channel widths after several levels of creep strains and for several loads.
