ABSTRACTThis study was undertaken to characterize the intermediate temperature creep properties of Ni3Al. Itfocuses on the mechanisms controlling creep deformation and their relationship to the anomalous yielding behavior of this alloy. Constant stress creep tests were conducted for temperatures between 713–973 K, and the following observations were made. The creep curves exhibited two distinct regions. Primary creep was followed by inverse creep. Specimens cooled under constant stress strained an additional 20% during cooling. Temperature drop experiments indicate that Ni3Al is weakened by the addition of creep deformation.Glide on the primary octahedral plane appears to be exhausted during primary creep. Slip trace and TEM studies indicate that inverse creep is controlled by slip on the cube cross slip plane and a secondary octahedral plane. Primary octahedral slip is observed in the specimens that are cooled and deformed under constant stress.

Phosphorus alloyed oxygen free copper (Cu-OFP) canisters are planned to be used for spent nuclear fuel in Sweden. The copper canisters will be subjected to creep under multiaxial stress states in the repository. Creep tests have therefore been carried out using double notch specimens having a notch acuity of 0.5 in Cu-OFP at 75°C. The creep results from the notched specimens are compared with those from the smooth ones. It shows that the creep lifetime for notched specimens can be estimated to be two orders of magnitude or more longer than that for the smooth ones, indicating notch strengthening for the investigated Cu-OFP material. Metallographic examinations after failure show that pores and creep cavities to a limited extent are observed only adjacent to fracture. To interpret the tests for the notched creep specimens, finite element computations have been performed with a new basic model for primary creep without fitting parameters. The creep strain versus time could be simulated successfully. Initially the stresses at the notches are almost twice as high as in the centre of the specimens. The highest stresses are relaxed rapidly. At the studied temperature 75°C, the creep exponent of Cu-OFP is about 85, thus, deep down in the power-law breakdown regime. This contributes strongly to the homogenous stress distribution across the centre section. Since the redistribution of stresses has taken place before large creep deformation has occurred, the specimens are not notch sensitive in agreement with observations.

Accurate prediction of creep deformation is critical to assuring the mechanical integrity of heavy-duty, industrial gas turbine (IGT) hardware. The classical description of the creep deformation curve consists of a brief primary, followed by a longer secondary, and then a brief tertiary creep phase. An examination of creep tests at four temperatures for a proprietary, nickel-based, equiaxed, super-alloy revealed many occasions where there is no clear transition from secondary to tertiary creep. This paper presents a new creep model for a Nickel-based super-alloy, with some similarities to the Theta Projection (TP) creep model by Evans and all [1]. The alternative creep equation presented here was developed using meaningful parameters, or θ’s, such as: the primary creep strain, time at primary creep strain, minimum (or secondary) creep rate, and time that tertiary creep begins. By plotting the first and second derivative of creep, the authors were able to develop a creep equation that accurately matches tests. This creep equation is identical to the primary creep portion of the theta projection model, but has a modified second term. An additional term is included to simulate tertiary creep. An overall scaling factor is used to satisfy physical constraints and ensure solution stability. The new model allows a constant creep rate phase to be maintained, captures tertiary creep, and satisfies physical constraints. The coefficients of the creep equations were developed using results from 27 creep tests performed at 4 temperatures. An automated routine was developed to directly fit the θ coefficients for each phase, resulting in a close overall fit for the material. The resultant constitutive creep model can be applied to components which are subjected to a wide range of temperatures and stresses. Useful information is provided to designers in the form of time to secondary and tertiary creep for a given stress and temperature. More accurate creep predictions allow PSM to improve the structural integrity of its turbine blades and vanes.

Creep Properties

The creep behavior of two series of magnesium alloys, Mg-4Al based alloys with strontium addition and binary Mg-Nd alloys, has been studied. Results show that the high creep properties achieved by the Mg-Nd alloys are attributed to the precipitation of tiny dispersed β’ particles, which form and effectively restrict the dislocation slipping and climb during creep deformation. In terms of values of the stress exponent and apparent activation energy gained from systematic creep tests, the mechanism responsible for creep deformation of the Mg-Nd alloys is inferred as dislocation climb, which is supported by TEM observations performed on the Mg-2Nd alloy after creep test. For the Mg-4Al based alloys, however, microstructural observations reveal that the significant improvement on creep properties caused by Sr addition is accounted for the formation of an interphase network consisting of Al4Sr and a Mg-Al-Sr ternary compound distributing at grain boundaries. The breakage of the interphase network after extrusion results in a sharp drop of creep properties, indicating the creep deformation of the alloy is controlled mainly by grain boundary sliding, which is in contradiction to the mechanism for creep of the alloys inferred by the classical criterions based on the values of stress exponent and apparent activation energy.

Cast nickel-based superalloys INC713 LC, B1914 and MAR-M247 are widely used for high temperature components in the aerospace, automotive and power industries due to their good castability, high level of strength properties at high temperature and hot corrosion resistance. The present study is focused on the mutual comparison of the creep properties of the above-mentioned superalloys, their creep and fracture behaviour and the identification of creep deformation mechanism(s). Standard constant load uniaxial creep tests were carried out up to the rupture at applied stress ranging from 150 to 700 MPa and temperatures of 800–1000 °C. The experimentally determined values of the stress exponent of the minimum creep rate, n, were rationalized by considering the existence of the threshold stress, σ0. The corrected values of the stress exponent correspond to the power-law creep regime and suggest dislocation climb and glide as dominating creep deformation mechanisms. Fractographic observations clearly indicate that the creep fracture is a brittle mostly mixed transgranular and intergranular mode, resulting in relatively low values of fracture strain. Determined main creep parameters show that the superalloy MAR-M247 exhibits the best creep properties, followed by B1914 and then the superalloy INC713 LC. However, that each of the investigated superalloys can be successfully used for high temperature components fulfils the required service loading conditions.

The pressuremeter has the potential to measure the creep parameters of ice in situ, that is to say, in the field, in ice at its natural temperature and natural stress environment, and in ice that has not been disturbed by sampling and handling. To prove that the pressuremeter can in fact be used to measure creep properties, a series of pressuremeter tests were run in the laboratory in poly crystalline ice at −2°C. It was found that (1) the particular pressuremeter used maintained an ability to measure creep deformation accurately over a period of 7 weeks, (2) the test results agree for the most part with the findings of other investigators who have used uniaxial compression tests, and (3) the pressuremeter brings into question at least one of the more common assumptions regarding primary creep.

ABSTRACTSingle crystals of Ni3AI (1 at%Ta) with a compression axis of [123] were subject to creep at a stress of 550 MPa and a temperature of 520 °C. Slip trace and TEM microstructural observations reveal that primary octahedral slip is responsible for the primary creep. In the secondary stage, cube cross slip (010) is operative. There is no obvious sign of inverse creep.

AbstractPreliminary creep tests were performed on SiC whisker reinforced and matrix Si3N4 material fabricated by the NPS technique. The material was extensively crystallised in the as received material, leaving only thin amorphous films surrounding the grains. No improvement in the creep resistance could be detected for the whisker reinforced material. The deformation mechanisms were found to be that of cavitation in the form of microcracks, predominantly at the whisker/matrix interfaces, and the formation of larger cracks. Extensive oxidation of the samples, as a result of high temperature exposure to air, was observed for the materials tested at 1375°C.

ABSTRACTγ-T1AI (Cr, Mo, Si, B) specimens with two different fine lamellar microstructures were produced by vacuum arc melting followed by a two-stage heat treatment. The average lamellar spacing was determined to be 200 nm and 25–50 nm, respectively. Creep tests at 700°C showed a very strong primary creep for both samples. After annealing for 24 hours at 1000 °C the primary creep for both materials is significantly decreased. The steady-state creep for the specimens with the wider lamellar spacing appears to be similar to the creep behavior prior to annealing while the creep rate of the material with the previously smaller lamellar spacing is significantly higher. Optical microscopy and TEM-studies show that the microstructure of the specimens with the wider lamellar specing is nearly unchanged, whereas the previously finer material was completely recrystallized to a globular microstructure with a low creep resistance. The dissolution of the fine lamellar microstructure was also observed during creep tests at 800 °C as manifested in an acceleration of the creep rate. It is concluded that extremely fine lamellar microstructures come along with a very high dislocation density and internal stresses which causes the observed high primary creep. The microstructure has a composition far away from the thermodynamical equilibrium which leads to a dissolution of the structure even at relatively low temperatures close to the intended operating temperature of γ-T1AI structural parts. As a consequence this limits the benefit of fine lamellar microstructures on the creep behavior.

The creep behaviors of TA2 and R60702 at low and intermediate temperature were presented and discussed in this paper. Experimental results indicated that an apparent threshold stress was exhibited in the creep deformation of R60702. Meanwhile, the primary creep phase was found as the main pattern in the room temperature creep behavior of TA2. Compared with the exponential law, the power law has been proved to be a proper constitutive model in the description of primary creep phase. It also showed that θ projection method had its significant advantage in the evaluation of accelerated creep stage. Thus, a composite model which combined power law with θ projection method was applied in the creep curves evaluation at low and intermediate temperature. Based on the multiaxial creep deformation results, the model was modified and discussed. A linear relationship existed between composite model parameters and applied load. Finally, the creep life of TA2 and R60702 could be accurately predicted by the composite model, and it is suitable for the application in low and intermediate temperature creep life analysis.
