Abstract
Advanced creep life at 1100 °C/140 MPa was obtained in a nickel-based single crystal superalloys (Ni-SX alloys) by varying the Al content. The lattice distortion phenomenon and γ' phase shape induced by Al content matters with systematic investigation. Novel results demonstrated that the γ' phase shape transitioned from nearly spherical to square, while the creep life increased from 2 h to 269.05 h with Al content increase from 4.5 to 5.7 wt%. Further increasing the Al content to 6.4 wt% enhanced the γ' phase content while reducing the creep rupture life to 132.08 h. Dense dislocation networks with irregularly arranged raft γ' structure were observed at γ/γ' phase interface. Diffraction patterns and high-resolution interface images revealed that the modulation of lattice constants by Al content further affects the lattice misfit and γ' phase shape, subsequently influencing the dislocation migration and creep performance.
期刊介绍:
Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials.
The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal.
The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials using novel approaches. Materials covered by the journal include:
Metals & Alloys
Ceramics
Nanomaterials
Biomedical materials
Optical materials
Composites
Natural Materials.
