Fatigue crack paths in single-crystal Ni-base superalloys do not follow the classical Stage
I/Stage II behavior. In fact, the opposite often occurs with cracks growing initially in Mode I …

A high cycle fatigue life prediction model based on continuum damage mechanics, crystal
plasticity and critical distance theory is developed. A novel damage evolution law for …

The family of additive manufacturing techniques has been attracting significant attention of
manufacturers and researchers, due to its unrivalled flexibility to fabricate and repair …

In this paper, the creep deformation mechanisms are investigated in nickel-based single
crystal superalloys. Two-dimensional molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are conducted …

In this study, the difference between in-phase (IP) and out-of-phase (OP) thermomechanical
fatigue (TMF) cycling at 100–850° C of a single-crystal superalloy is investigated both from a …

Creep experiments were performed to study the mechanical characteristics of Ni-based
single crystal superalloy samples with densely arranged air film holes. An equivalent model …

To improve the understanding of high temperature mechanical behaviours of LPBF Ni-
based superalloys, this work investigates the influence of an elongated grain structure and …

The yield strength of the [001]-orientated single-crystal nickel-based superalloy PWA1483 is
investigated under tension/compression at 1000 and 1100° C. We found that the …

The deformation microstructure of single crystal superalloys CMSX-4 was investigated
during uniaxial tensile with a strain rate of 5× 10− 3 s− 1 at room temperature. The objection …

To revealing the role of unevenly microstructural rafting caused by stress gradient on the
fatigue resistance of engineering parts made by single crystal (SC) Ni-based superalloys, a …
