Creep and Stress Relaxation Anisotropy of a Single-Crystal Superalloy

Fatigue crack initiation in a notched single-crystal superalloy component

In this paper, the fatigue crack initiation in notched single-crystal test specimens of material MD2 is investigated and analysed. A critical plane approach is adopted, in which the total strain ranges on the discrete slip planes are evaluated. Furthermore, a Coffin-Manson type of expression is used to describe the number of cycles to fatigue crack initiation. This relation is determined from a...

Crystal plasticity and crack initiation in a single-crystal nickel-base superalloy Modelling, evaluation and applications

In this dissertation the work done in the projects KME-410/502 will be presented. The overall objective in these projects is to evaluate and develop tools for designing against fatigue in single-crystal nickel-base superalloys in gas turbines. Experiments have been done on single-crystal nickel-base superalloy specimens in order to investigate the mechanical and fatigue behaviour of the materia...

Influence of crystal orientation on the thermomechanical fatigue behaviour in a single- crystal superalloy

In- and Out-of Phase Thermomechanical Fatigue of a Ni-Based Single-Crystal Superalloy

In this study, the difference between in-phase (IP) and out-of-phase (OP) thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) cycling from 100 to 750 ◦C has been investigated for the Ni-based single-crystal superalloy MD2. In addition, two different crystal orientations were studied, the 〈001〉 and 〈011〉 orientations respectively. When comparing IP and OP TMF lives, a strain range dependency is found for the 〈001〉 d...
