An Ultrasonic Study on Anelasticity in Metals<br />
Namkug, M.; Fulton, J. P.; Nath, S.; Wincheski, B.; [1990]; 8 pp.; In English; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A02, Hardcopy<br />
A new ultrasonic approach for monitoring the anelastic behavior of metals <strong>and</strong> alloys was presented. The approach poses<br />
some problems related to separating the temperature dependence of the anelastic phenomena from the natural wave velocity<br />
s susceptibility to temperature changes. However, these effects can be distinguished <strong>and</strong> separated without much difficulty. Due<br />
to its high sensitivity to microstructural changes, the new technique will be quite valuable when used in conjunction with strain<br />
gauges for studying anelastic behavior. The two techniques should complement each other quite well. In the future, tests using<br />
both the P2L2 <strong>and</strong> strain gauges to more thoroughly monitor the samples will be conducted. Further work will be done to fully<br />
characterize the temperature sensitivity of the velocity <strong>and</strong> provide a more solid foundation for separating its effects.<br />

A Comparison between Growth Morphology of ‘Eutectic’ Cells/Dendrites <strong>and</strong> Single-Phase Cells/Dendrites<br />

Directionally solidified (DS) intermetallic <strong>and</strong> ceramic-based eutectic alloys with an in-situ composite microstructure<br />
containing finely distributed, long aspect ratio, fiber, or plate reinforcements are being seriously examined for several<br />
advanced aero-propulsion applications. In designing these alloys, additional solutes need to be added to the base eutectic<br />
composition in order to improve heir high-temperature strength, <strong>and</strong> provide for adequate toughness <strong>and</strong> resistance to<br />
environmental degradation. Solute addition, however, promotes instability at the planar liquid-solid interface resulting in the<br />
formation of two-phase eutectic ‘colonies.’ Because morphology of eutectic colonies is very similar to the single-phase cells<br />
<strong>and</strong> dendrites, the stability analysis of Mullins <strong>and</strong> Sekerka has been extended to describe their formation. Onset of their<br />
formation shows a good agreement with this approach; however, unlike the single-phase cells <strong>and</strong> dendrites, there is limited<br />
examination of their growth speed dependence of spacing, morphology, <strong>and</strong> spatial distribution. The purpose of this study is<br />
to compare the growth speed dependence of the morphology, spacing, <strong>and</strong> spatial distribution of eutectic cells <strong>and</strong> dendrites<br />
with that for the single-phase cells <strong>and</strong> dendrites.<br />

Fatigue crack growth tests were conducted to characterize the performance of Inconel 718 <strong>and</strong> CRES 321 welds, weld<br />
heat-affect-zone <strong>and</strong> parent metal at room temperature laboratory air <strong>and</strong> liquid nitrogen (-196oC) environments. The results<br />
of this study were required to predict the damage tolerance behavior of proposed orbiter main engine hydrogen fuel liner weld<br />
repairs. Experimental results show that the room <strong>and</strong> cryogenic temperature fatigue crack growth characteristics of both alloys<br />
