AbstractMulticomponent nickel base intermetallics with the L12 structure were evaluated as high temperature structural materials. The compounds were based on the γ' composition of PWA 1480, a high strength single crystal nickel base superalloy. The best balance of properties in the compound was achieved with <111> oriented single crystals but no significant advantage could be demonstrated over the precipitation hardened superalloys. Insufficient impact resistance was a major deficiency of the L12 compounds. Other nickel base intermetallics were also evaluated but showed little advantage over superalloys.

The effect of Ru on the microstructure of a high content refractory elements nickel base Superalloy has been studied in the present investigation. The results showed that, the adding of 3%Ru did not prevent the precipitation of TCP phase during high temperature exposure, and even accelerated the formation of TCP phase,however the addition of Ru decreased the growth rate of μ phase significantly. In addition, the adding of Ru decreased the solving temperature of γ/γ′ eutectic by 5°C, and increased the tendency of γ′ rafting during high temperature exposure.

High strength nickel base superalloys have often been used in turbine blades because of their superior performances at high temperatures. One of them is CMSX-4, an ultra high strength, single crystal. CMSX-4 is a second generation rhenium-containing, nickel-base superalloy capable of high temperature and stress operations of at least 1150 °C [1]. The superalloy has limited oxidation and corrosion resistance at the high temperatures and to improve the oxidation and corrosion resistance, the base material is protected with coatings [2]. However, coatings exhibit a ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) which causes early cracking of the coating and failure due to fatigue. The paper details low cycle fatigue (LCF) properties and degradation mechanisms of uncoated and IC1 coated single crystal CMSX-4. The tests were performed at two temperatures, 500 °C and 900 °C. Cylindrical solid specimens were cyclically deformed with fully reversed tension-compression loading with total strain amplitude control and at a constant strain rate of 10−4s−5 in air atmosphere without any dwell time. At 500 °C the coating has a detrimental effect on the fatigue life of CMSX-4 while at 900 °C IC1 does improve the fatigue life of the superalloy. The reduction of the fatigue life can be related to early cracking of the coating under its ductile to brittle transition temperature while the beneficial effect of the coating at 900 °C may be due to slower propagation of cracks caused by oxidation at the front of the crack tip.
