Phase-field method (PFM) has become a mainstream computational method for predicting
the evolution of nano and mesoscopic microstructures and properties during materials …

Rafting is an important phenomenon of the microstructure evolution in nickel-based single
crystal superalloys at elevated temperature. Understanding the rafting mechanism and its …

In the present work, we propose a novel model coupling phase-field, dislocation density
based plasticity and damage. The dislocation density governing equations are constructed …

A dislocation density based crystal plasticity—phase-field model is applied to investigate
directional coarsening during creep in CMSX-4 Ni-based superalloys in the high …

Abstract 45° rafting of Ni-based superalloys has been investigated with the help of creep test
simulations applying a strain gradient crystal plasticity model coupled to the multi-phase …

Directionally solidified (DS) and single crystal (SC) Ni-based superalloys inevitably
underwent microstructural degradation induced by the harsh operating environment. For the …

The role of coherency loss on rafting of superalloys under high temperature low stress creep
conditions is investigated by phase-field crystal plasticity simulations. It is demonstrated that …

We have studied the large-scale plasticity assisted topological inversion in a Ni-based
superalloy after creep at 850° C. Multi-scale characterization from the micro-to the near …

Stray grains bring great challenges to the production of superalloy single-crystal blades
using the Bridgman method. The height difference between the liquidus isotherms in the …

Thin-walled plate specimens with square and triangular penetration pattern close-packed
film cooling holes are used to study the evolution of the γ/γ′-microstructure of nickel-based …
