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

Modelling and simulation are very important for revealing the relationship between process
parameters and internal variables like grain morphology in solidification, precipitate …

We build a crystal plasticity finite element framework to investigate slip localisation and
fatigue-creep behaviour at the cooling holes of single crystal Nickel (Ni) based components …

A model for creep at intermediate temperatures in polycrystalline Ni-based superalloys is
presented. The model is based on describing stacking fault nucleation, propagation and …

Nickel-based single-crystal alloys undergo microstructural degradation induced by thermal
exposure. The directional rafting of microstructures significantly affects the mechanical …

Having regard to the inherent crystal anisotropy characteristic of nickel-based single crystal
and the actual industrial manufacture, and application of the turbine blade, a trade-off …

Ultrasonic vibration-assisted (UVA) forming is typically used to promote the forming quality of
complex structures due to the acoustic-plastic effect. Ultrasonic vibration (UV) is always …

Microtwinning is the dominant creep deformation mechanism of nickel-based superalloy in
certain temperature and stress conditions. This study proposes a novel temperature …

In this study, a microdamage model is newly proposed to predict the failure process of FCC
single crystals. Two micro damage mechanisms, slip and cleavage, are both involved in the …

The effect of ageing time and temperature on the deformation mechanism and
corresponding tensile properties are investigated in a γ/γ′ Ni-based superalloy, HAYNES …
