Micro-tensile specimens of nickel-based superalloy oligocrystals were tested in-situ in an scanning electron microscope in transmission mode (TSEM) enabling observation of dislocations. The dynamics of dislocation motion during tensile loading were captured and correlated with the measured intermittencies during plastic flow recorded by high load- and temporal-resolution sensors. This investigation in particular focused on the dislocation behavior near twin boundaries with different slip configurations. A multiplicity of deformation mechanisms at the dislocation scale were observed within individual slip bands, including precipitate shearing, dislocation decorrelation and antiphase boundary-coupled shearing. These processes affect strain localization near twin boundaries and provide new defect-level insights on plastic localization and fatigue crack initiation in these alloys.

Cyclic fatigue experiments in the high and very high cycle fatigue regimes have been performed on a Ren\é 88DT polycrystalline nickel-based superalloy. The microstructural configurations that favor early strain localization and fatigue crack initiation at high temperature from 400\ \°C to 650\ \°C have been investigated. Competing failure modes are observed in the high to the very high cycle fatigue regime. Fatigue cracks initiate from non-metallic inclusions and from intrinsic internal microstructural features. Interestingly, as stresses are reduced into the very high cycle regime, there is a transition to initiation only at crystallographic facets. At higher stress in the high cycle fatigue regime, a significant fraction of specimens initiate cracks at non-metallic inclusions. This transition is analyzed with regard to microstructural features that favor strain localization and accumulate damage early during cycling.

The microstructural configurations that favor early strain localization and fatigue crack initiation at intermediate and high temperature (400 \°C\–650 \°C) have been investigated using novel experimental techniques, including high resolution digital image correlation and transmission scanning electron microscopy. Cyclic fatigue experiments in the high and low cycle fatigue regimes have been performed on a Ren\é 88DT polycrystalline nickel-base superalloy at temperatures up to 650 \°C and compared to previous fatigue results obtained from tests in the very high cycle fatigue regime. Competing failure modes are observed along with an inversion in the temperature fatigue life dependence of fatigue strength from the low to high cycle fatigue regime. Oxidation-assisted processes are dominant at high applied stresses while cyclic plastic localization and accumulation govern fracture at low applied stresses. In addition, a second competing mode exists in the high and very high cycle fatigue regime from non-metallic inclusions as compared to internal intrinsic initiation sites. The grain-scale features that exhibit strain localization and crack initiation were investigated in detail. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), transmission scanning electron microscopy (TSEM) and electron channeling contrast imaging have been conducted on samples removed from targeted regions with microstructural configurations that favor crack initiation to characterize the associated dislocation sub-structure and its evolution with temperature. Plasticity is observed to be less localized during cyclic loading at high temperature compared to room temperature. The microstructural features that drive initiation across the temperature range investigated are: twin-parent grains pairs that are at the upper end of the size distribution, are oriented for near maximum elastic modulus mismatch, and have high stresses along planes parallel to the twin boundaries.

Based on simulations of tensile tests, the macroscopic stiffness and strength of the \α phase of Ti-6Al-4V are estimated. Sets of virtual samples are instantiated using characterization data from three-dimensional electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) scans collected with the TriBeam microscope and local properties extracted from in situ loading high-energy x-ray diffraction (HEXD) experiments. The simulations use a crystal-scale finite element framework to compute the mechanical response of the virtual samples under tensile loading. From the simulation data, mechanical properties are extracted from volume elements ranging in size from a fraction of the gage section to its entire length. To detect macroscopic yield, a flood-fill algorithm is used to identify a zone of plastically deformed finite elements extending through a volume element. Trends in the estimated properties as functions of the volume element size are examined. The lower bound of volume element size necessary to replicate experimentally measured macroscale properties is indicated. The technique and results provide a guideline for estimating macroscale property values in components designed with size smaller than the lower bound due to constraint.
