Abstract
A rate dependent, microstructure-sensitive crystal plasticity model is formulated for correlating the mechanical behavior of a polycrystalline Ni-base superalloy IN 100 at 650 °C. This model has the capability to capture first order effects on the stress–strain response due to (a) grain size, (b) γ′ precipitate size distribution, and (c) γ′ precipitate volume fraction. Experimental fatigue data with variable strain rates are used to calibrate the model for several distinct IN 100 microstructures (grain size, precipitate size distributions and volume fractions) obtained from thermomechanical processing. Physically based hardening laws are employed to evolve the dislocation densities for each slip system, taking into consideration the dislocation interaction mechanisms. The calibrated crystal plasticity model is used to inform microstructure dependent parameters of a macroscopic internal state variable (ISV) model, which is computationally feasible for use in component scale notch root analyses. A hierarchical methodology is outlined to embed this microstructure-dependence in the macroscale model.
