Abstract
The creep damage levels of two metallic materials (PM1000 and IN738LC Ni based superalloy), which had different microstructures and creep damage mechanism, were evaluated by ultrasonic velocity and attenuation measurement. In case of PM1000 alloy, the ultrasonic velocity decreased with increasing creep time, which was mainly attributed to the decrease of Young's modulus due to the increasing volume fraction of creep cavity. Ultrasonic attenuation coefficient increased with increasing creep time in IN738LC alloy, while ultrasonic velocity showed no distinct trend. This increase of ultrasonic attenuation was attributed to the directional coarsening (rafting) of γ' precipitates. A linear correlation was found between attenuation coefficient and mean length of γ' precipitates.
