Abstract
The crack closure behavior of a nickel-based single crystal (SC) superalloy was studied based on in-situ SEM fatigue tests. Specimens in two different secondary orientations were tested at 600°C. A model considering the anisotropy of SC superalloys was developed to analyze crack closure behavior. The results show that specimens in two orientations exhibit different cracking modes. For specimen [001]/[010], roughness-induced crack closure effect is dominant in crack closure behavior and crack closure effect is constant during crack propagation process. However, for specimen [001]/[110], plasticity-induced crack closure effect is dominant in crack closure which becomes enhanced as crack grows.
