Data from: Improving the Effectiveness of the Solid-Solution-Strengthening Elements Mo, Re, Ru and W in Single-Crystalline Nickel-Based Superalloys

This dataset is the basis for the journal article "Improving the Effectiveness of the Solid-Solution-Strengthening Elements Mo, Re, Ru and W in Single-Crystalline Nickel-Based Superalloys" (doi.org/10.3390/met11111707). 

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Electron-Probe Mirco-Analysis (EPMA equipped with WDS detectors), Compression Creep and CalPhaD calculation data are included in this dataset. In the resulting article the partitioning and solid solution strengthening behavior of the elements Mo, Re, Ru, and W are investigated in three different alloy collections:

"Reference" alloys:  ERBO/1 (based on the commercial alloy CMSX-4), ERBO/13 (optimized alloy: doi.org/10.1088/0965-0393/23/3/035004) and ERBO/15 (optimized alloy: doi.org/10.1002/9781119075646.ch4)

"Model" alloys: ERBO/17, ERBO/18, ERBO/19 and ERBO/32 - experimental SX Nickel-Based superalloys to investigate the influence of Ti and Ta on the partitioning behavior of W

"Experimental" alloys: EXP10, EXP11, EXP12, EXP13, EXP14, EXP15, EXP16, EXP17, EXP18 - general investigation of the behavior of Mo, Re, Ru and W, in terms of partitioning and thermophysical properties.

CalPhaD data: short meta data file included in the respective subdirectory

DSC data: Meta data as header in each file

EPMA data: For each alloy a directory includes a general meta data file "0.cnd", an element specific meta data file "*.cnd" and the actual mapping data of each element "*.txt" (element name is listed in the corresponding specific meta data file). All element compositions are given in wt.-% in the mapping data .txt files. Exceptions: "COMPO" maps represent the total amount of detector counts; The values correspond to counts if the mapping .txt files contain non-float (e.g. integer) values (usually this means that there is very little or none of that element present and should therefore not be quantified to a wt.-% value).
