Constitutive model of an additively manufactured combustor material at high-temperature load conditions

• In this paper, the high-temperature constitutive behaviour of an additively manufactured ductile nickel-based superalloy is investigated and modelled, with application to thermomechanical fatigue, low-cycle fatigue and creep conditions at temperatures up to 800∘800∘C. Thermomechanical fatigue tests have been performed on smooth specimens in both in-phase and out-of-phase conditions at a temperature range of 100−800∘100−800∘C, and creep tests at 625∘625∘C, 700∘700∘C, 750∘750∘C and 800∘800∘C. Additionally, low-cycle fatigue tests at different strain ranges and load ratios have been performed at 700∘700∘C, and tensile tests have been performed at 600∘600∘C, 700∘700∘C and 800∘800∘C. A clear anisotropic mechanical response is obtained in the experiments, where the anisotropic effects are larger at high stress levels in creep loadings. To capture this behaviour, a rate-dependent strain based on a double-Norton model has been adopted in the model, by which the creep and mid-life response of the thermomechanical fatigue tests can be simulated with good accuracy.
