Nickel-based superalloys have become key materials for turbine disks and other aerospace components due to their excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures. Mechanical properties of nickel-based superalloys are closely related to their microstructures. Various heat treatment processes were conducted to obtain the desired microstructures of a nickel-based superalloy in this study. The effect of the initial microstructures on the tensile deformation and fracture behaviors was investigated via in situ digital image correlation (DIC) and synchrotron radiation X-ray tomography (SRXT). The results showed that the size and volume fraction of γ″ and γ′ phases increased with the aging time. The yield strength and the ultimate tensile strength increased due to the precipitation strengthening at the expense of ductility. The surface strain analysis showed severely inhomogeneous deformation. The local strains at the edge of specimens were corresponded to higher void densities. The fracture of carbides occurred owing to the stress concentration, which was caused by the dislocation accumulation. The fracture mode was dimple coalescence ductile fracture.

Laue micro-diffraction has proven to be able to reveal material properties at the sub-grain scale for many polycrystalline materials and is now routinely available at several synchrotron facilities, providing an approach for nondestructive three-dimensional probing of the microstructures and mechanical states of materials. However, for in situ experiments, maintaining the positioning of the sample throughout the experiment, to achieve a good alignment of the characterized volumes, is a challenging issue. The aim of the present work is to address this problem by developing an approach based on digital image correlation of focused-beam Laue diffraction patterns. The method uses small changes in the diffraction signal as a focused X-ray beam is scanned over a surface region to allow corrections to be made for both sample lateral movement and rotation. The method is demonstrated using a tensile deformation experiment on an Al sample with 2.5 µm average grain size. The results demonstrate an accuracy of 0.5 µm for sample position registration and a precision in sample rotation of ∼0.01°. The proposed method is fast to implement and does not require the use of additional surface markers.
