Abstract. The tensile creep behavior of a Co-Al-W-base single crystal alloy containing Ta and Ti was investigated at 982 • C and 248 MPa. The lattice misfit of experimental alloy was measured to be positive by synchrotron X-ray diffraction at high temperature, and long term heat treatment at 1000 • C for 1000 h revealed a γ volume fraction of 75% without secondary phases. The creep test indicated that the creep properties of experimental alloy exceeded commercial 1st generation Ni-base single crystal superalloy CMSX-3 with respect to the rupture life. The initial cuboidal γ precipitates directionally coarsened parallel to the applied stress axis during the creep process. The stacking faults in {111} planes within γ rafts were the primary creep deformation mode by TEM investigation.
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.
