This book was released on 2020 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ni-based superalloy is considered as a good candidate due to its excellent resistance to elevated temperature deformation for long term period application. Understanding the deformation and failure mechanisms of Ni-Based superalloys is very helpful for providing design guidelines for processing Ni-based superalloys. Experimental characterization indicates that the deformation mechanisms of Ni based superalloy is strongly microstructure dependent. Besides, damage transform from the void nucleation to the macro cracks by voids growth leading to the failure of the Ni-based superalloys are also showing strong microstructure sensitivity. Therefore, this work focuses on the prediction and comprehension of the deformation and void growth behavior in Ni based superalloy at different working conditions via crystal plasticity finite element modeling and simulation. Physically based crystal plasticity frameworks were developed for newly Ni-based superalloy Haynes 282. It was found that dislocation shearing through the precipitates were acting as the main contributor to the strength of Haynes 282 at room temperature and 815°C. Our analysis of the creeping behavior of Haynes 282 exhibited that resistance of general climb replaced by the resistance induced by the deposited climb dislocation density. In addition, in the study of void growth behavior, our simulation results demonstrated that as the main loading axis perpendicular to the grain boundary (GB), voids grow more slowly on tilt GBs in bicrystals than those in single and bicrystals with twist GBs. And tilt GBs would promote the void grow into irregular shape"--Abstract, page iv.

This book was released on 2020-09-07 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a concept and method of a manufacturing process that builds a three-dimensional object layer-by-layer. Opposite to the conventional subtractive manufacturing, it conquers various limitations on component design freedom and raises interest in various fields, including aerospace, automotive and medical applications. This thesis studies the mechanical behavior of thin-walled component manufactured by a common AM technique, laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The studied material is Hastelloy X, which is a Ni-based superalloy, and it is in connection to a component repair application in gas turbines. The influence of microstructure on the deformation mechanisms at elevated temperatures is systematically investigated. This study aims for a fundamental and universal study that can apply to different material grades with FCC crystallographic structure. It is common to find elongated grain and subgrain structure caused by the directional laser energy input in the LPBF process, which is related to the different printing parameters and brands of equipment. This thesis will start with the study of scan rotation effect on stainless steel 316L in an EOS M290 equipment. The statistic texture analysis by using neutron diffraction reveals a clear transition when different level of scan rotation is applied. Scan rotation of 67° is a standard printing parameter with intention to lower anisotropy, yet, the elongated grain and cell structure is still found in the as-built microstructure. Therefore, the anisotropic mechanical behavior study is carried out on the sample printed with scan rotation of 67° in this thesis. Thin-walled effects in LPBF are investigated by studying a group of plate-like HX specimens, with different nominal thicknesses from 4mm down to 1mm, and a reference group of rod-like sample with a diameter of 18mm. A texture similar to Goss texture is found in rod-like sample, and it becomes <011>//BD fiber texture in the 4mm specimen, then it turns to be <001> fiber texture along the transverse direction (TD) in the 1mm specimen. Tensile tests with the strain rate of 10?3 s?1 have been applied to the plate-like specimens from room temperature up to 700 ?. A degradation of strength is shown when the sample becomes thinner, which is assumed to be due to the overestimated load bearing cross-section since the as-built surface is rough. A cross-section calibration method is proposed by reducing the surface roughness, and a selection of proper roughness parameters is demonstrated with the consideration of the calculated Taylor’s factor and the residual stress. The large thermal gradient during the LPBF process induces high dislocation density and strengthens the material, hence, the LPBF HX exhibits better yield strength than conventionally manufactured, wrought HX, but the work hardening capacity and ductility are sacrificed at the same time. Two types of loading condition reveal the anisotropic mechanical behavior, where the vertical and horizontal tests refer to the loading direction being on the BD and TD respectively. The vertical tests exhibit lower strength but better ductility that is related to the larger lattice rotation observed from the samples with different deformation level. Meanwhile, the elongated grain structure and grain boundary embrittlement are responsible for the low horizontal ductility. A ductile to brittle transition is traced at 700 ?, so a further study with two different slow strain rates, 10?5 s?1 and 10?6 s?1, are carried out at 700 ?. Creep damage is shown in the slow strain rates testing. Deformation twinning is found only in the vertical tests where it forms mostly in the twin favorable <111> oriented grain along the LD. The large lattice rotation and the deformation twinning make the vertical ductility remain high level under the slow strain rates. The slow strain rate tensile testing lightens the understanding of creep behavior in LPBF Ni-based superalloys. In summary, this thesis uncovers the tensile behavior of LPBF HX with different variations, including geometry-dependence, temperature-dependence, crystallographic texture-dependence and strain rate-dependence. The generated knowledge will be beneficial to the future study of different mechanical behavior such as fatigue and creep, and it will also enable a more robust design for LPBF applications. Additiv tillverkning, eller 3D-utskrifter, är tillverkningsmetoder där man skapar ett tredimensionellt objekt genom att tillföra material lager for lager. Till skillnad från konventionella avverkande tillverkningsmetoder elimineras många geometriska begränsningar vilket ger större designfrihet och metoderna har därför väckt stort intresse inom en rad olika områden, inklusive flyg-, fordons- och medicinska tillämpningar. I denna avhandling studeras mekaniska egenskaper hos tunnväggiga komponenter tillverkade med en vanligt förekommande laserbaserad pulverbädds-teknik, laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Det studerade materialet är Hastelloy X, en Ni-baserad superlegering som är vanligt förekommande for både nytillverkning och reparation av komponenter för gasturbiner. Inverkan av mikrostruktur på deformationsmekanismerna vid förhöjda temperaturer undersöks systematiskt. Detta arbete syftar till att ge grundläggande och generisk kunskap som kan tillämpas på olika materialtyper med en kubiskt tätpackad (FCC) kristallstruktur. Det är vanligt att man hittar en utdragen kornstruktur orsakad av den riktade tillförseln av laserenergi i LPBF-processen, vilket kan relateras till olika processparametrar och kan variera mellan utrustningar frän olika leverantörer. Denna avhandling inleds med studien av effekten av scanningsstrategi vid tillverkning av rostfritt stål 316L i en EOS M290-utrustning. En statistisk texturanalys med hjälp av neutrondiffraktion påvisar en tydlig övergång mellan olika mikrostrukturer när olika scanningsstrategier tillämpas. En scanningsrotation på 67 mellan varje lager är en typisk standardinställning med avsikt att sanka anisotropin i materialet, dock finns den utdragna kornstrukturen oftast kvar. I denna avhandling studeras därför de anisotropa egenskaperna hos material tillverkade med 67 scanningsrotation. Effekten av tunnväggiga strukturer i LPBF undersöks genom att studera en uppsättning platta HX-prover, med olika nominella tjocklekar från 4 mm ner till 1 mm, samt en referensgrupp med cylindriska prov med en diameter på 18 mm. Kristallografisk textur som liknar den av Goss-typ återfinns i de cylindriska proverna vilket gradvis övergår från en fibertextur med <011> i byggriktningen for 4mm-proven till en fibertextur med <001> i tvärriktningen for 1mm-proven. Dragprovning med en töjningshastighet på 10?3 s?1 har utförts på de platta provstavarna från rumstemperatur upp till 700 ?. En sänkning av styrkan uppvisas när proven blir tunnare, vilket kan antas bero på att det lastbarande tvärsnittet överskattas på grund av den grova ytan. En metod för tvärsnittskalibrering föreslås genom att kompensera for ytråheten, och valet av lämplig ytfinhetsparameter motiveras med hänsyn till den beräknade Taylor-faktorn och förekomsten av restspänningar. Den stora termiska gradienten som uppstår for LPBF-processen inducerar en hög dislokationstäthet vilket höjer materialets styrka och följaktligen uppvisar LPBF HX högre sträckgräns an konventionellt tillverkad, smidda HX, men förmågan till deformationshårdnande samt duktiliteten i materialet sänks samtidigt. Tester utförda i två olika belastningsriktningar, vertikalt respektive horisontellt mot byggriktningen, demonstrerar det anisotropiska mekaniska beteendet. De vertikala testerna uppvisar lägre hållfasthet men bättre duktilitet vilket kan relateras till en större benägenhet for kristallstukturen att rotera när deformationsgraden ökar. Samtidigt är den utdragna kronstukturen ansvarig for den lägre duktiliteten for de horisontella proverna. En övergång från ett duktilt till ett mer sprött beteende noterades vid 700 ?, och därför initierades ytterligare en studie där tester med två lägre töjningshastigheter, 10?5 s?1 och 10?6 s?1, utfördes vid 700 ?. Det kan noteras att krypskador återfinns i tester med en långsam deformationshastighet och deformationstvillingar uppstår endast i de vertikala provstavarna där det främst bildas tvillingar i korn orienterade med <111> riktningen längs belastningsriktningen. Den stora förmågan till rotation i kristallstrukturen och deformationstvillingarna bidrar till att den vertikala duktiliteten förblir hög även i testerna med en låg deformationshastighet. Testerna med en långsam draghastighet bidrar därför till en bättre förståelse av krypbeteendet i LPBF Nibaserade superlegeringar. Sammanfattningsvis så bidrar denna avhandling till bättre förståelse av de mekaniska egenskaperna hos LPBF HX i olika utföranden och förhållanden, inklusive geometriberoende, temperaturberoende, deformationshastighetsberoende samt inverkan av kristallografisk textur. Den genererade kunskapen kommer att vara till stor nytta vid fortsatta studier av olika mekaniska egenskaper som utmattning och kryp, samt bidrar till att möjliggöra en mer robust design for LPBF-tillämpningar.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nickel-based superalloys are widely used for structural applications at high and intermediate temperatures in severe atmospheres. Environmentally assisted degradation, i.e. oxidation and corrosion, alters not only the surface of the materials, but also their core properties due to a selective and progressive consumption of the reactive elements involved in the surface degradation processes. The material in a shallow region beneath the reactive surface subsequently shows a gradient in chemical composition, microstructure and physical properties. Despite the negligible scale of those gradients (from micrometers to hundreds of micrometers beneath the surface) relative to the dimensions of the structural component, the variability in mechanical behavior within the gradient often drives premature damage and progressive failure of the component. In order to quantify these developments, micromechanical characterization of the mechanical properties of gradient materials is important. Due to the high variability of mechanical properties within graded materials, micromechanical characterization techniques are required. Materials are characterized in aged and pre-oxidized at the temperature of 700°C. These same characterizations are also carried out at 800°C, in order to exacerbate the consequences of oxidation and to increase this gradient of properties at iso-duration of heat treatment. The mechanical characterization of ultrathin specimens (a few tens of micrometers thick) in tension and fatigue is carried out with macroscopic monitoring by image correlation. In addition to the macroscopic values, a specific investigation of the surface for full-field kinematic measurements allows obtaining local information on the deformation and damage mechanisms at the microstructure scale. The present project proposes to tackle the intricate multi-physics dimension of the environment-assisted deformation/damage evaluation by simultaneously correlating the macroscopic/mesoscopic and sub-microstructure/sub-micrometer deformation and the changes in surface reactivity (oxide microcracking, oxide spallation, fast-growing oxides, breakaway oxidation, etc.) at high temperature in various atmosphere conditions. The main aspiration of this in-situ experimental characterization is to bring a novel understanding and a more physical prediction of the local and time-evolving mechanical behavior of graded materials at the microstructure scale related to environmental interactions.

Download or read book Microstructural Evolution and Deformation Mechanisms in Nickel base Super Alloys written by Hyo-jin Song and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nickel-base superalloys are used at high temperature applications in aerospace and power generation. The objective of present work is to gain a better understanding of microstructural evolution and deformation mechanisms in Nickel-base superalloys. The microstructure of the Nickel base superalloy is basically composed of gamma matrix with eta, delta, gamma prime or gamma double prime/or both, carbides and nitrides. Cold working of IN 718 and Waspaloy to 50% reduction led to an increase in hardness. This hardening was related to the continuous increase in dislocation density in both alloys. Cold working of IN 718 to levels of 10% and higher also led to shearing of the gamma double prime precipitates present initially, leading to their dissolution and the redistribution of the alloying elements into the matrix. Shot peening of both alloys introduces near surface compressive residual stresses and a significant increase in the surface and near-surface hardness to a distance of ~200-400 [mu]m in both alloys. Shot peening of both alloys followed by aging at 900°C quickly led to a large drop in hardness to near that of the bulk material. Aging shot peened the IN 718 at 700°C led to an increase in the hardness throughout the sample. Microstructural characterization revealed that this hardening is related to the formation of new precipitates of gamma prime or gamma double prime or both within the gamma matrix. Aging shot peened Waspaloy at 700°C led to an increase or decrease at near surface region at short time, depending on the Almen intensity. Microstructural characterization shows that these changes are related to partial reduction in % cold work by recrystallization and/or new gamma prime precipitation, depending on the Almen intensity. The hardening, microstructural evolution and stress rupture behavior of IN 740 were studied. Aging of the IN 740 alloy led to significant hardening due to the gamma prime precipitation. The gamma prime coarsening in aged and tensile tested and stress rupture tested IN740 alloy was observed to follow the LSW theory. Gamma prime coarsening was promoted by the applied stress and accelerated between 750 and 800°C. Applied stress was also found to significantly enhance the eta phase formation. Various models for strengthening in Ni-base superalloys were considered and their contributions to strength following aging were calculated utilizing the experimentally measured gamma prime sizes and volume fractions. Good agreement between the calculated and experimentally measured yield strengths was obtained. Based on these calculations and characterization of the deformation microstructure in the aged and tensile-tested samples, it was concluded that apart from solid solution strengthening, the main strengthening contributions from the gamma prime precipitates is associated with precipitate shearing involving either weak pair dislocation coupling or strong pair dislocation coupling/ or both at 700°C for 100h, strong pair dislocation coupling following aging at 700°C for 1000, 3000h and 750°C for 100, 1000h, strong pair coupling or Orowan process/or both following aging at 750°C for 3000h and 800°C for 100h, and mainly Orowan process following aging at 800°C for 1000 and 3000h.
