Summary
The creep behavior of an alumina-Y3Al5O12 (YAG) eutectic composite was studied in the temperature range of 1410°-1650°C. The tests were conducted under compression at constant strain rates in the range of 10−6-10−5/sec. Extrapolation of the creep data to a strain rate of 10−8/sec suggests that the composite creep rates meet the design guidelines for use as turbine blades at 1410°C and as turbine vanes at 1530°C. Single crystals of YAG and sapphire were also tested under the same conditions at 1530°C for comparison. The stronger YAG phase is found to reinforce sapphire at higher strain rates, while at lower strain rates, the composite behavior is close to or slightly less than that of sapphire.
