In this article, an in situ high-temperature testing system is reported, which allows for observation and measurement of deformations in advanced hot-section materials at high temperatures. The combination of SEM-DIC technique and Al2O3 nanoscale particles was used to investigate the high-temperature tensile and creep properties of NBSCS alloy at 750 degrees C. The scanning-DIC method was applied to calculate full-field dynamic displacement and strain, revealing that strain concentrations usually occur at crack initiation or propagation sites.
In situ microscopic observation and measurement of deformations for advanced hot-section materials at high-temperature is helpful in understanding their failure mechanisms. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a digital image correlation (DIC) method are combined to capture the failure process. This article reports an in situ high-temperature testing system which can heat the specimen up to 1000 degrees C and provide clear images simultaneously. The Al2O3 nanoscale particles are developed as high-temperature deformation carriers in SEM-DIC, which are suitable for high-temperature samples with significant advantages of stability, high image contrast and without shedding or melting up to 1000 degrees C. High-temperature tensile and creep properties of a nickel-based single crystal superalloy (NBSCS) at 750 degrees C were investigated using this system. In addition, a scanning-DIC (S-DIC) method, which avoids errors introduced by conventional DIC methods, was used to calculate full-field dynamic displacement and strain of high-temperature NBSCS samples. Analysis of the strain fields show that the strain concentrations are generally at the positions of crack initiation or propagation, and the creep cracks interact with each other through the strain field. Finally, the crack opening displacement is obtained using the virtual extensometer.
