Abstract Scope |
While Ni-based superalloys are widely used in the hot sections of jet turbine engines because of their high strength, stability and resistance to oxidation a fundamental knowledge on the effect of different elements on properties of these alloys has not yet been obtained. Molecular dynamics simulation could shed light here but its application is hindered by the absence of reliable and computationally cheap semi-empirical potential for 4 and more element alloys. We will present a Ni-Al-Cr-Nb Finnis-Sinclair potential specially designed to simulate the dislocation propagation from gamma to gamma’ phase. In order to construct this potential, we designed a special algorithm to incorporate data on element partitioning in the potential development procedure. Using the developed semi-empirical potential, we investigated the effect of anti-site defects in the gamma’ phase on the single dislocation propagation. It was found that the dislocation velocity increases with the increasing of the anti-site defect concentration. |
