Advanced time-resolved characterization of Stress Assisted Grain Boundary Oxidation of 718 Ni superalloy

Abstract Nickel superalloys are used for harsh condition application cases as they have high chemo-thermomechanical stability. However, they can suffer from embrittlement due to stress corrosion cracking. This effect is difficult to observe as it can take place at long time scales. Here we propose a...

Summary:Abstract Nickel superalloys are used for harsh condition application cases as they have high chemo-thermomechanical stability. However, they can suffer from embrittlement due to stress corrosion cracking. This effect is difficult to observe as it can take place at long time scales. Here we propose a feasible experiment to study stress assisted grain boundary oxidation, a phenomenon that has similar mechanisms involved that can take place in laboratory compatible time scales. We observed the event using phase and diffraction contrast tomography while applying monotonic loading of the sample at 650 °C. This initial analysis shows that the experimental setup is a good candidate for the study of such degradation mechanism.
