Simulation on Stress Relaxation of DD3 Nickel-Based Single Crystal Superalloy Based on Micro-Cell Model

Abstract:

Tension-torsion experiments at 680°C and 850°C on thin-wall tube specimens of DD3 nickel-based single crystal superalloys were successfully completed. It shows that specimens have stress relaxation obviously and inelastic deformation accumulation phenomenon with different crystal orientation under asymmetric cyclic loadings. Based on the microstructure characteristics of nickel-based single crystal superalloys, a two-phase multi-cell microscopic mechanical model was established by finite element method to simulate the test with displacement. Numerical simulation studies showed that the matrix phase appeared plastic deformation accumulation at first and resulted in low cycle fatigue damage, but stress distortion occurred on the boundary with a single cell model under tension-torsion displacement loading, which is not consistent with experimental results. While using multi-cell model can avoid this phenomenon, it could be better to simulate stress relaxation behavior under asymmetric cyclic loading at elevated temperature and to study on stress weaken damage for single crystal superalloys.
