Abstract

An anisotropic micromechanical model based on Mori-Tanaka method is developed to calculate the effective elastic moduli of Ni-based single crystal superalloys. In the micromechanical model, the γ' precipitate with very high volume fraction is regarded as matrix, γ phase is divided into three parts as three different kinds of inclusions, and the actual cubic structure and orthogonal anisotropy properties of γ phase and γ′ precipitate are taken into account. Based on this anisotropic micromechanical model, the effective elastic moduli of Ni-based single crystal superalloys composite materials is obtained, and the influences of volume fraction and elastic constants of γ′ precipitate on the effective elastic moduli are also discussed. The results provide useful information for understanding mechanical behavior of composite materials in Ni-based single crystal superalloys and other anisotropic polygonal inclusion problem.
