Isothermal oxidation behavior of electrospark deposited NiCrAlY coatings on a Ni-based single-crystal superalloy

Tribological behavior of sputter-deposited MoSX/Ni coatings

AbstractSputtered MoS2 coatings have been mostly used as a solid lubricant. In this investigation, MoSx/Ni composite coatings with Ni contents varying from 0 to 22 % were deposited onto steel substrate using a DC magnetron sputter process. The MoS2/Ni ratio in the coatings was controlled by sputtering the composite targets. The composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the...

Evaluating the Effect of Ta/W Ratio on Microstructure and Stress Rupture Properties of Ni-Based Single Crystal Superalloy PWA1483

In this study, the effect of Ta/W ratio on the microstructure and stress rupture properties of Ni-based single crystal (SX) superalloy PWA1483 was investigated. For this purpose, single crystal (SX) superalloys with different Ta/W ratios (0.75, 1.0, 1.32 and 1.5 in wt.%) were fabricated. The alloys were directionally solidified by Bridgman method under the same solidification condition at withd...

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...

Low-Cycle Fatigue Behaviour of a Ni-Based Single-Crystal Superalloy

Fretting on the cubic face of a single-crystal Ni-base superalloy at room temperature

Fretting experiments were conducted on the (10 0) crystal (cubic) face of a single crystal Ni-base superalloy in two directions, /10 0S and /110S, to study the effect of crystallographic orientation on the fretting response in both partial slip and gross slip regimes. The study involved point contacts using a tungsten carbide (WC) ball with radius 10 mm tested at room temperature. Ball indentat...
