...Michael W. R. Savage Single crystal nickel-based turbine blades are directionally solidified during the casting process with the crystallographic direction [001] aligned with the blade stacking axis. This alignment is usually controlled within 10 deg, known as the Primary angle. The rotation...

...Rajiv A. Naik; Daniel P. DeLuca; Dilip M. Shah Single crystal nickel-base superalloys deform by shearing along 〈111〉 planes, sometimes referred to as “octahedral” slip planes. Under fatigue loading, cyclic stress produces alternating slip reversals on the critical slip systems which eventually...

... chromium nickel oxidation corrosion testing corrosion protection environmental testing corrosion resistance foils cost reduction The August 2003 blackout in eastern North America exposed the critical problem of overloaded transmission lines. Utilities, faced with deregulation, have...

... with these crude oils showed that the ash-deposit contains a large amount of nickel. These new facts led to revisit the role played by nickel and envisage its possible inhibiting action against the vanadium-induced hot corrosion. A thorough review of the literature on the vanadium-induced corrosion have been...

... years to improve similarly the environmental resistance by enriching the surface of nickel-based superalloys with chromium, aluminum, or silicon element. Recently, aluminizing of MCrAlY coatings is used for improving further the high-temperature oxidation resistance. However, the aluminizing properties...
