The use of nickel-based superalloys in the hottest sections of coal-fired power plants would enable efficiency gains and emissions reductions. In order to study the effect of residual stress on cracking susceptibility in some candidate superalloys, compact tension samples were pre-strained in compression beyond yield and tested without additional external loading. The testing parameters pre-strain...
