Abstract
Sliver defects are common casting imperfections in the preparation of single crystal blades, significantly impacting the high-temperature mechanical performance of blades and potentially leading to blade failure. A detailed study was conducted on the microstructure of sliver in the second-generation nickel-based single crystal superalloy CMSX-4, focusing on its influence on creep performance at 980 °C/250 MPa. Results indicate a substantial impact of sliver on the creep performance of single crystal superalloys, with a 26.37 % reduction in creep rupture time for samples with sliver compared to those without. Fracture analysis reveals that sliver primarily contributes to performance deterioration by promoting the extension of grain boundary microcracks through grain boundary sliding during the creep process, accelerating sample fracture. Utilizing crystal plasticity theory, a successful fit was achieved for the creep rupture life of samples with sliver, allowing the prediction of fracture life for samples with different orientations of slivers. Predictive results suggest that, for CMSX-4 alloy, the orientation of the sliver should be restricted to within 8°.
