Abstract
Effects of Re content and crystallographic orientation on creep behavior of aluminized Ni-base single crystal superalloys have been investigated in the present study. The addition of Re seemed to be effective for the creep strength improvement of Ni-base single crystal superalloys. The creep strength was significantly decreased in aluminized specimens due to the change in microstructure under coating layer by the formation of the interdiffusion zone (IDZ) and substrate diffusion zone (SDZ). The specimens with {100} side-surface showed longer creep rupture lives than the specimens with {110} side-surface which means that the anisotropic creep behavior took place. The anisotropic creep behavior was more evident in aluminized CM186LC than in aluminized PWA 1480. This anisotropic creep behavior was mainly induced by the discrepancy of fracture modes due to the different arrangement of slip systems, the geometry as well as the depth penetration of topologically close-packed (TCP) phases between the two side-surface orientations.
