| Abstract Scope |
All mechanical systems are made up of parts and each one of these parts have a certain service life. Identifying the lifetime of high-temperature alloys is a very essential part in the functionality of mechanical turbines. These high-temperature alloys are exposed to many stressors whether it is mechanical, thermal, etc. that degrade the quality of the material over time. Performing analytical evaluation of these alloys plays a critical role in giving us a better understanding of how these materials react over time. One of the main techniques used to perform such analytical evaluations is the pairing of SEM-EDS technologies to analyze the microstructure of the materials. This allows a very accurate understanding of the phase transformation happening in the material. In this work, the effects of heat treatment, service effect, and aging on alloys are analyzed and studied using some of the existing characterization methods. |
