The specimen height between the grips is During sustained maximum load dwell testing the crack does not where P is the load, b is the specimen thickness and W is increase in length. This testing verifies that crack tip em- the specimen width. Excellent agreement of this specimen reduces the environmental effect.

Chromium and aluminum are also necessary to improve surface stability through the formation of Cr2O3 and Al2O3, respectively. The functions of the various elements in W nickel alloys are as below. All nickel-base alloys contain this phase as the matrix. This phase is required for high-temperature strength and creep resistance. This film is believed to improve rupture properties. M combines with reactive elements, such as titanium, tantalum, hafnium, and niobium, to form metal carbides MC.

Carbides in nominally solid-solution alloys may form after extended service exposures. These cause lowered rupture strength and ductility. Some superalloys can be used at 0. It precipitated as spheroidal particles in early nickel-base alloys, which tended to have a low volume fraction of particles. Later, cuboidal precipitates were se noted in alloys with higher aluminum and titanium contents.

The change in morphology is related to a matrix-precipitate mismatch. It is. This precipitate is found in nickel-iron alloys. Improved forge- ability and better properties have also resulted from magnesium additions of 0. It is believed that this is due primarily to the typing up of sulfur, a grain boundary embrittler, by the magnesium.
