Summary

Chapter 9 focuses on superalloys operating at high temperature where high strength as well as creep and corrosion resistance are demanded. We take Ni-based single-crystal superalloys and Ni–Fe-based superalloys for advanced ultrasupercritical (A-USC) power plants as examples to demonstrate how alloy design is accomplished in these multicomponent alloy systems. The first case study introduces the design procedure of Ni-based single-crystal superalloy by using a multicriterion constrained multistart optimization algorithm. In the second case study, the design procedure of an Ni–Fe-based superalloy with the artificial neural network (ANN) model combined with a genetic algorithm (GA) based on an experimental dataset is presented.
