Abstract:Abstract. Ni-base superalloys are employed as structural materials for the most critical hot gas path components of gas turbines. The current market requirement is to cycle the machine every day, providing energy when it is most needed. It is therefore important to understand how creep and fatigue damages interact in these components. Starting from a significant knowledge base of mechanical and microstructural behaviour established from standard tests of the equiaxed and single crystal superalloys, creep-fatig… Show more
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.
