The Role of Oxidized Carbides on Thermal-Mechanical Performance of Polycrystalline Superalloys
Oxidized MC carbides which act as main crack initiation sites in a polycrystalline superalloy under thermal-mechanical fatigue (TMF) conditions at 850 degrees C were studied. Microstructural observations in the TMF tested specimens were compared to findings from bulk samples exposed isothermally in air at 850 degrees C for 30 hours in the absence of any external applied load. Carbides were found to oxidize rapidly after exposure at 850 degrees C for 30 hours resulting in surface eruptions corresponding to oxidation products, from where micro-cracks initiated. Plastic deformation due to volume expansion of the often porous oxidized carbides led to high dislocation densities in the adjacent matrix as revealed by controlled electron channeling contrast imaging. The high dislocation density facilitated the dissolution kinetics of gamma precipitates by segregation and diffusion of chromium and cobalt along the dislocations via pipe diffusion, resulting in the formation of soft recrystallized grains. Atom probe tomography revealed substantial compositional differences between the recrystallized grains and the adjacent undeformed gamma matrix. Similar observations were made for the TMF tested alloy. Our observations provide new insights into the true detrimental role of oxidized MC carbides on the crack initiation performance of polycrystalline superalloys under TMF.Funding Agencies|Max Planck Society; Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB, Sweden; MPG; Swedish Energy Agency [KME-702]</p
The Role of Oxidized Carbides on Thermal-Mechanical Performance of Polycrystalline Superalloys
Block driving chain (gall's chain) of the increased load capability
В статті розглядається нова конструкція ланки ланцюга, що відрізняється від
попередніх новим виконанням бічних пластин з відбортовкою отворів. Запропонована конструкція
забезпечує підвищення навантажувальної здатності ланцюга і довговічності роботи у важких умовах
експлуатації, а також зниження матеріаломісткості виготовлення ланцюга.The article "Block Driving Chain (Gall's Chain) of the increased Load Capability" by
A.Bondarenko and M.Mikhailov deals with a new design of the chain link that differs essentially from the
previosly used by employing lateral plates having drawn down holes along the contour.
The suggested design provides the increase for the load capability of the chain and durability of its operation
under rigorous service as well as the reduction of the material consumption in the process of chain
