Abstract:In this study, intermittent creep-fatigue tests were applied on Ni-based Alloy 617 and Alloy 625. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation and electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis were employed to the evaluation of the degradation of the crystallinity under the creep-fatigue loads. It was found that the initial damage under creep-fatigue load basically appeared as intergranular cracks. In addition, the lifetimes of Alloy 625 samples fluctuated significantly due to the growth of NbC precipita… Show more
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.
