Creep‐fatigue behaviour of single‐crystal Ni‐base superalloy CMSX‐8

Shock wave compression of singlecrystal forsterite

Hugoniot equation of state measurements have been performed on pure synthetic single-crystal forsterite (Mg•SiO4) in the pressure range 70-160 GPa (0.7-1.6 Mbar). These and earlier data for polycrystalline forsterite are compared with theoretical Hugoniots for the assemblages 2MgO (rocksalt) + SiO: (stishovite) and MgO (rocksalt) + MgSiO8 (perovskite). The densities attained by single-crystal f...

Modelling of constitutive and fatigue behaviour of a single-crystal nickel-base superalloy

In this licentiate thesis the work done in the project KME410 will be presented. The overall objective of this project 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 behaviour of the material. The constitu...

An Empirical Approach to Correlating Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue Behaviour of a Polycrystalline Ni-Base Superalloy

Assessment of thermo-mechanical fatigue behaviour of the polycrystalline nickel alloy RR1000 reveals a significant effect of phase angle on fatigue life. The current paper explores two scenarios: the first where the mechanical strain range is held constant and comparisons of the fatigue life are made for different phase angle tests; and secondly, the difference between the behaviour of In-phase...

Impact Deformation and Fracture Behaviour of Cobalt-Based Haynes 188 Superalloy

The impact deformation and fracture behaviour of cobalt-based Haynes 188 superalloy are investigated by means of a split Hopkinson pressure bar. Impact tests are performed at strain rates ranging from 1×103 s-1 to 5×103 s-1 and temperatures between 25°C and 800°C. The experimental results indicate that the flow response and fracture characteristics of cobalt-based Haynes 188 superalloy are sign...
