Compositions Ni, Co and Fe Based Alloys Solid solution strengthening

− Cr, Mo, Al, Nb, Ti and others Precipitation strengthening

− Mostly due to Al and Ti− Ni3(Al,Ti), gamma prime− Lattice mismatch, amount, size and morphology

Carbide phases− M23C6, M6C or MC− M can be Cr, Ti, Mo or W

Engineering Design Using Creep (and Stress-Rupture)

The Larson-Miller Parameter:

Stress Rupture Data Plottedaccording to the followingequation:

Where M = log e

and θ = t exp (-Q/RT)

assuming that Q and θ are functions of stress only. t can be atime to rupture or a time to a given creep strain.
