This investigation describes the changes in the phase’s micromechanical properties as a result of alloying elements moving at interdiffusion. The induction of the interdiffusion between different phases of a Ni-based single crystal superalloy still is a challenging issue in this field of the materials science. For this we used novel technique - hard cyclic viscoplastic deformation at room temperature. The chemical compositions of the phases were determined by the cumulative bulk deformation. For detailed knowledge of this material behavior during life time the micromechanical properties of phases were investigated by nanoindentation and the results were analyzed by scanning electron microscope and the corresponding chemical content was investigated by X-ray microanalysis.
It was established, that the calculated results values depend on indentation load stepwise increase from 5 to 10 and 20 mN, respectively. The hardness, contact compliance and elastic recovery parameters decrease, while indentation modulus, elastic- and plastic parts of indentation work increase with load increase. In initial material the hardness, indentation modulus and elastic recovery parameter for the γ/γ’-microstructure with coarse intermetallic γ’-precipitates were lower with compared to microstructure with fine γ’-precipitations. As a result of interdiffusion the chemical content was changed and these parameters for the coarse γ/γ’-microstructure increased as the γ’-Ni3Al content was increased, while these values in the γ-γ’-eutectic and Nb/Ta-rich phases decreased as the niobium and rhenium contents decreased, respectively. By this the lakes of γ-γ’-eutectic phase have maximal plastic part of indentation work with compare to other phases of superalloy. The cumulative bulk deformation increases lead to decrease of dendrites dimensions.
Multilayer films of two types, namely, films with alternating nanolayers Ag 2 S and AgI and alternating nanolayers Ag 3 SI and AgI, are prepared by laser ablation. The conductivity of the film samples is investigated using impedance spectroscopy. The ends of fractures of the multilayer films are examined with electron microscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
