The three dimensional micromechanical model representing the structure of PST crystal has been built, and the stress distribution ahead of the sharp and blunt crack tips either parallel to lamellar interface or perpendicular to the lamellae has been calculated by using finite element method based on linear elasticity of PST crystals. The experimental results show that the fracture behaviors and mechanisms are strongly dependent on the angle of loading axis to the lamellae. The calculation indicates that nucleation and propagation of microcrack along the interfaces are controlled by the normal stress and translamellar microcrack is controlled by shear stress ahead of crack tip.展开更多

The results show that the creep behavior of the crystals is strongly dependent on the angle between the lamellar boundaries and loading axis. The samples with the angle φ=45 deg. have the lowest creep resistance, while the samples with φ=0 deg., rather than φ=90 deg.,show the strongest creep resistance. The stress exponent and creep activation energy for the power law creep vary with the orientations of samples, which indicates that the creep mechanisms of the samples with different angle φ are quite different.The deformation substructure has been examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM),which shows that both gliding, perhaps also climbing, of dislocations and twinning contribute to the creep deformation with some particular observation in the samples with φ=90 deg. in which rotation of the γ plates across a true twin boundary was observed, which indicates the deformation mechanism of the samples is different from the samples in other orientations.展开更多

The results indicate that the crack paths in PST crystals of y-TiAl based alloys are strongly dependent on lamellar orientation ofPST crystals, and the differently oriented PST crystals show different nucleation and propagation mechanisms of crack, resulting in different levels of fracture toughness.展开更多

The results indicated that the creep behavior of PST crystals is strongly dependent on the angle between lamellar boundary and loading axis, and the PST crystals yield high stress exponents for power law creep under the test conditions, which may be associated with lamellar interface and their fine spacing; at 800 ℃ and the 350 MPa stress level, the onset of tertiary creep regime is earlier in the sample with =90° compared with that in the sample with =0°, which may be caused by spheriodization during creep.展开更多
