Cyclic deformation, fatigue crack initiation and crack growth in a nickel-based single-crystal superalloy

Single-crystal nickel-based superalloys are dominantly used for turbine blades due to their superior mechanical properties, fatigue and creep resistance at elevated temperature. Typically, gas turbines operate at high alternating load during engine start-up and shut-down, which subjects nickel-based...
