Oxygen-induced intergranular fracture of the nickel-base alloy IN718 during mechanical loading at high temperatures

There is a transition in the mechanical-failure behavior of nickel-base superalloys from ductile transgranular crack propagation to time-dependent intergranular fracture when the temperature exceeds about 600 °C. This transition is due to oxygen diffusion into the stress field ahead of the crack tip...
