Kinetics of rafting in a single crystal superalloy: effects of residual microsegregation
The kinetics of directional γ' coarsening, known as rafting, are examined in the nickel based single crystal superalloy CMSX-4. Electron microscopy and image analysis are used to characterise heat treated specimens, prestrained in creep to a plastic strain beyond the threshold required to initi...
