The demand for improved castability and low angle grain boundary (LAGB) resistance has led to the addition of low contents of e.g., B, Hf, Zr or C, into large industrial gas turbine components made of Ni-base superalloy single crystals (SXs). Due to the long-term application of Ni-base superalloy SX components in the temperature regime > 1000 °C, the formation of carbides is highly probable, which could jeopardize mechanical properties, such as high cycle fatigue. In the present contribution, the effect of internal and external stresses on the nucleation and growth characteristics of M23C6 carbides is investigated. Creep experiments are performed on the Ni-base superalloy SX LEK 94, which shows a low C concentration (= 0.1 at. %), at 1020 °C under parallel and circularly notched tensile specimens at a nominal stress of 160 MPa in the crystallographic direction [001]. The carbides are then characterized via scanning (S) and transmission (T) electron microscopy (EM). Nucleation is enhanced in the dendritic cores, often as coalesced colonies, extending over micrometers within M-rich (M: Cr, Re, W, Mo) γ channels. Lath shapes with facets on {100} (parallel to growth direction) and {111} are common. These facets exist since early stages (Fig.1a) and later develop misfit dislocations (Fig.1b), preserving the orientation relationship {100}γ || {100}M23C6. Fig. 1c shows a region from the creep gage, where carbides interact with superdislocations in the γ’ phase. Possible mechanisms are discussed.
1. Introduction
Alumina coatings are one possibility to increase the corrosion resistance, lifetime and application range of thermally loaded steel components, e.g. in modern power plants where the use of the Oxy-fuel technology corrosive fuel gas (H2O-CO2-O2-SO2 at 650 °C) affects the steel parts. In previous investigations the efficacy of protective alumina coatings on steel P 92 under those conditions was demonstrated. A shutdown and re-start of power plants or parts of them causes thermal stresses of the components which can cause detrimental effects like microstructural changes in the steel itself, changes in its oxidation behavior, delamination or microstructural changes in the coating. All those effects can lead to failure of the components, resulting in lifetime reduction.
2. Objectives
As a first step, we concentrate on the influence of thermal cycling tests and observe the impact on the microstructure of the coating and the interface in laboratory air. These investigations will help understanding the processes which occur, show directions of potentially necessary changes of the coating due to improved thermal stress behaviour.
3. Materials & methods
P 92 is a ferritic-martensitic steel, containing 9% Cr which forms protective Cr-oxide-rich scales in dry environments and non-protective ones in water-containing environments. Coupons of P 92, having ground surfaces, were dip-coated via a sol-gel process and subjected to thermal cycling for 500 h (1000 cycles) in laboratory air in a temperature range between room temperature and 660° C. The resulting mass loss was determined by weighing.
Samples for TEM investigations were produced as cross sections normal to the sample surface by FIB preparation (Quanta 3D, (FEI)). The TEM/STEM investigations were performed using a JEM2200FS (JEOL) operated at 200 kV. The microstructure of the coating and the interface after cycling tests was characterized via TEM, HREM, and STEM images, electron diffraction as well as EDX and EFTEM methods.
4. Results
At steep edges in the surface profile the coating was imperfect and cracks have formed during the thermal cycling. Flat surface regions are well-covered. The whole interface region between the steel and the coating shows a dense Cr-oxide-rich zone, which can form protective regions in case of local failure. The Cr-oxide zone is followed by a region of mixed oxides, containing Cr, Mn, Fe, and Al in variable composition, to which a porous δ-Al2O3 zone is joined.
5. Conclusions
• Alumina coatings promote the formation of dense, Cr-rich zones at the interface, which makes the system self-healing.
• These zones are stable during thermal stresses, even in regions with cracked coatings.
• They cause reduction of outward diffusion and mass loss during thermal cycling.
The aluminum alloy 2618A is an Al-Cu-Mg alloy with additions of Fe and Ni, which was designed for long-term operation at elevated temperature in transportation and aerospace industries. Typical applications include aircraft parts and structures (sheet material) or engine components such as turbo charger centrifugal compressor wheels (forged material). Such components are subjected to prolonged aging during service, (e.g. 50 000 h) at temperatures which are close to their age hardening temperature (ca. 190 °C).
The microstructural evolution during creep exposure is studied.

Ziele dieser Arbeit waren die vergleichende Beschreibung des Verformungs-
und Bruchverhaltens der polykristallinen Legierung IN738LC und von
[001]-nah orientierten SC16-Einkristallen über einen großen Temperaturbereich sowie die Herstellung von Zusammenhängen zwischen
Versetzungs- und Bruchmechanismen. Besonderes Augenmerk galt dem
Tieftemperaturbereich bis 450 °C, dabei insbesondere der
Stapelfehlerbildung in der Gamma'-Phase, dem Fließspannungsminimum
im Zugversuch und der zusätzlichen zyklischen Verfestigung in diesem
Temperaturbereich. Spezifische Unterschiede zwischen beiden Werkstoffen
sollten herausgearbeitet werden. Dazu wurden hauptsächlich mikroskopische
Methoden, insbesondere die Transmissions-Elektronenmikroskopie eingesetzt.
Die Ausgangsgefüge wurden untersucht. Beide Werkstoffe hatten die übliche Standardwärmebehandlung erfahren und wiesen daher eine bimodale
gamma'-Verteilung auf. An SC16 wurden Auslagerungsversuche bei 950 °C vorgenommen und die Veränderung der gamma'-Morphologie beschrieben.
Die Temperaturabhängigkeiten der Verformungsmechanismen von SC16 und IN738LC sind vergleichbar mit den in der Literatur bezüglich einkristalliner
Superlegierungen mit höheren gamma'-Volumenanteilen beschriebenen. Beginnend
bei Raumtemperatur treten mit steigender Temperatur folgende Mechanismen auf:
Tieftemperatur-(LT-)Stapelfehler, Antiphasengrenzen-gekoppelte
Versetzungspaare, Hochtemperatur-(HT-)Stapelfehler und Orowan-Ringe um
die gaama'-Teilchen. Das Fließspannungsminimum des IN738LC bei 450 °C
kann einem Wechsel im Verformungsmechanismus zugeordnet werden. Die
Mechanismenwechsel finden bei SC16 bei höheren Temperaturen statt als bei IN738LC.
Von Raumtemperatur bis 750 °C wird bei IN738LC im LCF-Bereich bei
out-of-phase-Versuchen eine zusätzliche zyklische
Verfestigung beobachtet, die ihr Maximum bei 450 °C hat. Bei dieser Temperatur wird die plastische Verformung durch a/2<110>-Versetzungspaare erzeugt, die die gaama'-Phase parallel zu
{111} schneiden. Während der out-of-phase-Versuche werden
zusätzliche Gleitsysteme auf verschiedenen {111}-Ebenen aktiviert, was zu einer erhöhten Dichte von unbeweglichen Versetzungen führt. Bei höheren
Temperaturen können Versetzungen gaama'-Teilchen und andere Hindernisse durch
Quergleiten und Klettern umgehen.
Beim SC16 lassen sich LT- (bis 750 °C) und HT-Bruchverhalten (ab 750 °C) klar unterscheiden. Ersteres zeigt sich in großflächigem Abscheren und Bruchinitiierung an der Probenoberfläche. Der HT-Bruch wird an Poren im Innern initiiert und führt zu einem "Teller-Tasse"-Bruch mit einer ringförmigen Scherlippe im äußeren Bereich.
Beim IN738LC hingegen treten die beim SC16 gefundenen Elemente in den
Bruchflächen nur in untergeordneter Weise hervor. Der Rissverlauf ist fast
immer interdendritisch und nur zum Teil transkristallin. Primärkarbide werden
im LT-Bereich gespalten, im HT-Bereich abgelöst.
Minima der Temperaturabhängigkeit der Bruchdehnung des IN738LC gehen jeweils mit lokalisierter Gleitung in einzelnen Gleitbändern einher. Immer wenn bei einer bestimmten Temperatur ein neuer Verformungsmechanismus einzusetzen beginnt, werden inhomogene Gleitverteilungen beobachtet, die zu einer
geringen Verformbarkeit führen.
In the past few years, it has been discussed with increasing frequency, whether cube slip does occur in gamma' hardened nickel-base superalloys. Occurrence of cube slip has consequences for the modeling of orientation dependence of the CRSS. Until now, there are only few experimental investigations.
In principle, cube slip should be possible in primitive cubic lattices (e.g. L12 ordered gamma' phase) but not in face centered cubic ones (e.g. Ni solid solution). The most favourable specimen orientations are near [111], where the Schmid factors for this type of glide exceed those for octahedral systems.
There are two basic methods to detect cube slip: macroscopic slip trace analysis and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation of the dislocation structure. Few observations of cube slip by macroscopic slip traces are reported in the literature. But it is still uncertain under which test conditions cube slip occurs and what the dislocation mechanisms are. Cube slip was observed during tensile or compression tests of several first generation superalloys, but it seems not to occur during shear creep deformation (e.g. CMSX-4 at 980°C), and it is also lacking under conventional tensile or compression loading, if the gmma' particles are small. No observations were ever reported of dislocations gliding on {001} planes in matrix channels.
The thermal stability of the microstructure of a heat-resistant cobalt alloy, which consists of a γ solid solution strengthened with γ'-phase precipitates, has been studied. The temperature behavior of the dissolution of the hardening γ' phase and the kinetics of its coarsening at 700 and 800°C have been determined. It is found that, during prolonged annealing at 800°C, the γ' → β phase transformation occurs.
