A creep constitutive model for Inconel 718-BNi2 brazed joints incorporating the dynamic interplay between dislocations and γ'' precipitate phases by Rui Zhao, Xin shun Diao, Zong peng Tian, Xiaotong Liu, Min Wan

“…The results indicate that as the applied load decreases, the fracture mode changes from mixed fracture to brittle fracture, with a critical point near 570 MPa. The size of the γ’’ phase increases from 8.77 ± 3.07 nm to 20.63 ± 5.89 nm, indicating a decrease in the proportion of the shearing mechanism and an increase in the proportion of the Orowan mechanism in the interaction between dislocations and precipitated phases. …”
