Therefore static and the dynamic calibrations of the temperature measurement devices were compared by a custom-built calibration specimen, which included five internal mantle thermocouples. Additionally the temperatures were measured on the specimens' surface. The experimental setups used were compared by executing TMF pre-test with the identical single-crystalline specimen. Subsequently TMF tests on coated single-crystalline Nickel-based superalloy PWA 1484 were carried out with temperature rates of 10K/s and 20 K/s. Finally the deviations of the determined TMF lives were evaluated.}, language = {en} }
