Abstract

The elastic constants of the rafted Ni-base single-crystal superalloy, TMS-26, at high temperatures (∼1000 °C) have been studied with acoustic resonance methods. The rafted superalloy can be regarded as an elastic body of tetragonal symmetry. The elastic anisotropy factors, c11/c 33 and E100/E001, increase with temperature up to 1.010-1.025. Although a micromechanics model can reproduce this trend, the calculated anisotropy (∼1.001) is much smaller than the measurements, which can be related with the internal strain due to the lattice misfit. The elastic anisotropy of E001 < E100 = E010 contributes to the transverse rafting under external stress.
