Abstract: A self consistent creep damage constitutive model is developed for nickel-base directionally solidified superalloys. Grain degradation and grain boundary voiding are considered. The model parameters are determined from the creep test data of single crystal and directionally solidified superalloy with a special grain orientation. The numerical analysis shows that the model creep damage behaviours of nickel-base directionally solidified superalloys with difFerent grain orientations are in good agreement with the experimental data.
