Oxidation assisted intergranular cracking in 718 Nickel Superalloy: on the mechanism of dynamic embrittlement

Nickel Superalloy 718 was specially designed for high temperatures. However, due to an embrittlement phenomenon, its application is limited up to 650 °C. This work presents a contribution to the understanding of the embrittlement mechanism focusing on the crack propagation kinetics responsible for t...
