A model for the creep deformation behaviour of nickel-based single crystal superalloys
Fundamental research carried out under EPSRC (GR/R11575/01) led to a Rolls-Royce directly funded project. Its industrial application has been to support Rolls-Royce Compressors Division in assessing the forgeability of a number of nickel based superalloys, carried out in two phases to a total value of £261,000 (Dr. Colin High, Compressor Rolls-Royce Inchinnan). The particle/matrix formulation presented in the paper was then generalised and used to model the creep response of titanium alloys with duplex microstructures for the Boeing Company in a scoping project valued at £76,300 (contact Dr Dave Heck, The Boeing Company).
