An investigation was made on the strain-controlled low cycle fatigue (LCF) of a cast Ni-base superalloy M963 over a wide total strain range of 0.15-0.6% at a temperature range from 700 to 950 C in air. Correlations between dislocation structure and the testing temperature and applied strain amplitude were enabled through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation. At a low temperature region (700 and 800 C), dislocation shearing 0 precipitates by dislocation pairs and stacking faults at medium and high strain amplitudes, and a well-defined dislocation network at low total strain amplitudes were evident. At a high temperature region (900 and 950 C), dislocations by-passing 0 precipitates was the main deformation mode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
