The shape of X-ray reflections from the cuboidal γ/γ'-microstructure was investigated. The measurements were performed on the 4th generation single-crystal nickel-base superalloy TMS138. It is shown that reflections from non-cubic crystallographic planes split not only in d-scale due to the different spacing of the γ- and γ'-lattices but also in the pole figure due to the tilting of γ-lattice planes. This tilting results from the elastic distortion of the γ-lattice caused by the γ/γ'-misfit. The results obtained are discussed under the methodical aspect of misfit measurement.
A new technique for investigation of interfacial dislocations in nickel-base superalloys by scanning electron microscopy is presented. At high temperatures the pressure of interfacial dislocations against the γ/γ'-interface causes grooves. This 'fingerprint of the dislocation network' is visualized by deep selective etching, which removes the γ'-phase down to the γ/γ'-interface. Compared with transmission electron microscopy, the proposed method has important advantages: observation of large sample areas, no superposition of dislocations lying in different specimen depths, possibility of three-dimensional view of dislocation configurations, information about the dislocation mobility, reduced time for preparation and visualization. The method can be applied for multiphase materials where the interface is grooved by interfacial dislocations.
Rafting during high temperature deformation in a single crystal superalloy: experiments and modeling
(2012)
Pore annihilation during hot isostatic pressing (HIP) was investigated in the single-crystal nickel-base superalloy CMSX-4 experimentally by interrupted HIP tests at 1288 °C/103 MPa. The kinetics of pore annihilation was determined by density measurement and quantitative metallography. Transmission electron microscopy of a HIPed specimen showed that the pores shrink via dislocation movement on octahedral glide planes. Theoretically pore closure under HIP condition was modelled by the finite element method using crystal plasticity and large strain theories. The modelling gives a similar kinetics of pore annihilation as observed experimentally, however somewhat higher annihilation rate.
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.
A diffusion couple between directionally solidified nickel and the single crystal Ni-base superalloy CMSX-10 was produced by hot pressing in vacuum. The diffusion couples were heat treated at temperatures between 1050 and 1250 °C. The exposed samples were characterized by SEM/EBSD/EPMA. The interdiffusion results in dissolution of the c¢-Ni3 Al in the superalloy and in growth of nickel grains towards CMSX-10. Rapid diffusion of aluminum from the superalloy into pure nickel leads to a significant formation of pores in the superalloy. The interdiffusion processes were modelled using the finite-element simulation software DICTRA with the databases TCNi5 and MobNi2, tailored specially for Ni-base superalloys. The effect of alloying elements on the interdiffusion profiles is discussed in terms of alloy thermodynamics. The calculated element concentration profiles are in good agreement with the EPMA measurements.
The interdiffusion modeling correctly predicts the shapes of the concentration profiles, e.g. kinks on the Al and Ti profiles in the vicinity of the original interface in the joint. The calculation predicts with reasonable accuracy the extent and the location of the Kirkendall porosity.
