Ma. Antelo et al., ANALYSIS OF THE FRACTURE-BEHAVIOR OF AN ALUMINIDE COATING ON A SINGLE-CRYSTAL SUPERALLOY UNDER TENSILE CONDITIONS, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 247(1-2), 1998, pp. 40-50
The fracture behaviour of an aluminide coating applied to the single-c
rystal nickel-based superalloy SRR99 was studied under monotonic loadi
ng conditions. A set of tensile tests were carried out in order to det
ermine the fracture strain of the coating as a function of the tempera
ture. During testing, images of the sample surface were periodically c
aptured by means of a video camera system. Analysis of the images has
led to the establishment of a value of the coating fracture strain and
to a simple method for examining displacements in the coating plane.
The observed coating cracking is preceded by substrate yielding, hence
the fracture behaviour of the coating has been rationalised in terms
of substrate crystal orientation, its yielding behaviour and strain co
ncentration. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
