Modelling of Thermomechanical Fatigue Stress Relaxation in a Single-Crystal Nickel-Base Superalloy

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...

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

Thermomechanical Fatigue Behavior of a Directionally Solidified Ni-Base Superalloy

A continuum crystal plasticity model is used to simulate the material behavior of a directionally solidified Ni-base superalloy, DS GTD-111, in the longitudinal and transverse orientations. Isothermal uniaxial fatigue tests with hold times and creep tests are conducted at temperatures ranging from room temperature (RT) to 1038°C to characterize the deformation response. The constitutive model i...
