Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is a versatile additive manufacturing process that can print
geometrically complex metal parts for a variety of applications. However, poor control of …

Pores and carbides inherited from SX superalloy manufacturing processes usually act as
stress concentrators and are preferential sites for fatigue crack initiation. In this study, pore & …

The roles of minor elements, usually as grain-boundary strengtheners, in the fatigue
properties of single crystal (SX) superalloys have not received adequate attention. Our study …

The effect of wall thickness on the microporosity and stress-rupture properties of a second-
generation single-crystal nickel-based superalloy was investigated using optical …

The charm of diffusion coatings is mainly in their protective function of the surface of gas
turbine components, which are often subjected to fatigue-creep loading in extremely hostile …

The fatigue crack growth (FCG) experiments for Ni-based powder metallurgy (PM) FGH97
superalloy were performed from RT to 800° C in air. It has been found that the FCG life …

Microstructure evolution of polycrystalline nickel based superalloy C1023 casting was
investigated by comparing as cast superalloy and heat treated superalloy in the paper …

The phase evolution and thermal expansion behavior in superalloy during heating play an
essential role in controlling the size and distribution of precipitates, as well as optimizing …

The present study was devoted to investigating the stress corrosion behavior of Ni-based
single-crystal superalloys using in situ three-dimensional X-ray tomography. The dynamics …

Crack initiation and early propagation behavior of the directionally solidified (DS) superalloy
CM247LC has been assessed by data rich imaging approaches. These include …
