Abstract The available datasets provided by our previous works on creep life for nickel-based single crystal superalloys were analyzed through supervised machine learning to rank features in terms of their importance for determining creep life. We employed six models, namely Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN), Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT), Random Forest (RF), Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), XGBoost, and CatBoost, to predict the creep life. Our investigation showed that the BPNN model with a network structure of “24-7(20)-1” (which consists of 24 input layers, 7 hidden layers, 20 neurons, and 1 output layer) performed better than More >

Abstract Ni-based superalloys are the main material for the high pressure turbine blades of modern gas turbine engines [1]. High temperature corrosion of the blade, also called hot corrosion, is inevitable due to the working environment which directly affects the performance and life of the engine [2]. The working environment is harsher if the turbine engine is used in the sea environment. The salt fog of high humidity in the sea results in the chloride of NaCl and KCl. Coupled hot corrosion and high temperature oxidation increase the decay of the blade performances. Therefore, it is… More >

Abstract Ni-based single crystal superalloys have been favored in the high-temperature service zones of aeroengine and gas turbine due to its excellent mechanical properties at high temperature. It is very significant to construct a constitutive model that can accurately capture the mechanical response of Ni-based single crystals for simulation analysis. In this work, a forest dislocation density-based single crystal plasticity constitutive model was developed to capture the mechanical behavior of Ni-based single crystals, including the temperature dependent anomalous yield and tension/compression asymmetry. Firstly, thermally activated cross-slip mechanism was introduced into the hardening model to describe the… More >
