A condition for destabilizing the raft structure has been deduced from elastic energy calculations with the concept of ''effective eigenstrain", where the effect of creep deformation is included in addition to the lattice mismatch. The calculations indicate that the 0 0 1 raft structure is stabilize

β¦ Synopsis
The creep resistance of nickel-base superalloy single crystals is determined by the stability of the raft structure that forms at elevated temperatures under applied tensile stresses. This paper proposes a mechanism of stabilization and coarsening of the raft structure, based on the analysis of the balance between the elastic energy and the y-y' interphase energy. An abrupt coarsening of the raft structure, observed at the final stage of a creep test, is caused by unlimited diffusioncontrolled growth of hole-like macrodefects in ~,' layers of the structure. Based on this model, numerical estimations of the coarsening kinetics have been made, using structural and energetic characteristics of a commercial superalloy. The results arc consistent with typical creep test results for nickel-base superalloys.
