Abstract: | Microstructure of 011] oriented single crystal nickel-base superalloy consists of the cubical γ′ phase embedded coherently in the γ matrix, and arranged regularly along 〈100〉 orientations. After tensile creep, the cubical γ′ phase in the alloy is transformed into the strip-like rafted structure along 001] direction under the ordering transformation
free-energy and strain energy change. And the directional growing of γ′ phase is attributed to the atoms Al and Ta into (001) plane to form the stable stacking mode. |
