Abstract
The mechanism of the directional coarsening of g' phases (rafting) of Ni-base superalloy under an uni-axial strain was analyzed by molecular dynamics (MD) analysis. The stress-induced anisotropic diffusion of Al atoms perpendicular to the interface was observed clearly in a Ni(001)/Ni3Al(001) interface structure, The reduction of the diffusion of Al atoms perpendicular to the interface is thus, effective for improving the creep and fatigue resistance of the alloy. It was also found that the dopant elements in the superalloy also affected the strain-induced diffusion of Al atoms. Pd was one of the most effective elements which restrain Al atoms from moving around the interface.
