Abstract
In situ observations of crack growth and damage progression were conducted under creep conditions for P92 and titanium aluminides inter-metallic compound. A proposed analysis of stress induced particle diffusion was applied to stress induced vacancy diffusion. Results obtained from this analysis were successfully correlated with the experimental behaviour of macroscopic damage progression and a theoretical characteristic of creep deformation was derived. It was found to be in good agreement with experimental characteristics of creep deformation. Furthermore, the experimental characteristics of creep damage progression which concern voids and micro crack formations at grain boundary were found to be well correlated with those of deformation. From these results, correlation between vacancy diffusion in nano-scale, creep damage in mezzo-scale and creep deformation in macro-scale were successfully realized.
