Abstract

It has been recently shown that microtwinning is the principal deformation mechanism under certain creep conditions in several polycrystalline nickel-base superalloys. A creep model based on this mechanism is developed in this paper. Model parameters, supplied by microscopy and by atomistic calculations, are used to compare the model against experiment.
