THE CREEP AND FRACTURE BEHAVIOR OF TWO NICKEL-BASED SUPERALLOYS

Abstract

Abstract: The creep and fracture behavior of the cast K417 and forged GH4049 nickel-based superalloys were investigated in the temperature range of 700-900℃ C. Within the ranges of stress and temperature studied, the steady state creep rates exhibited a power law relationship with the applied stress and temperature. The time to rupture is inversely proportional to the steady state creep rate. Under all testing conditions, the creep fracture process was mainly controled by crack initiation and growth of the intergranular oxidation. Casting porosities, pores and carbides were also prefecentral locations of creep crack initiation in the cast K417 alloy. In addition, the intergranular fracture feature in the forged GH4049 alloy was apparently associated with the formation and coalescence of the cavitations on the grain boundaries.

Key words: superalloy, creep rate, fracture
