w xalready studied using different approaches 2]4 thedetailed determination of the stress origin and magni-tude remains difficult.

modelling of the structural behaviour at high tempera-ture together with numerical finite element modellingof the strain and stress state of the scale permits anunderstanding of the peculiarities of the thermo-mech-anical loading of the metalroxide system.

The aim of this article is to study the mechanicalbehaviour of a single-crystalline nickel sample de-formed by creep in an oxygen atmosphere with theŽ .111 Ni surface submitted to oxidation. In our previous

w xstudies 6]8 we have proposed a model of order]dis-order transformation in a three-dimensional NiOrNiinterface, which results in qualitatively different growthregimes. It was shown that together with the well-known

w xvacancy precipitation mechanism 9 it leads to theduplex structure formation in the NiO scale on thenickel surface.

In the present work we study the diffusional, micro-structural and mechanical parameters of the oxide scale

Ž .on the 111 Ni surface, subjected to a strain underoxidising atmosphere both experimentally and by meansof numerical modelling. The paper is organised asfollows. In the first part, we propose a micro-structuralanalysis of the sample together with the study of theexternal stress effect and oxidation-induced stress ef-fect. Using the O18 diffusion method we are able to

Žobserve several deformation modes diffusional creep,.gliding at the interfaces, etc. and periodic crack gener-

ation perpendicular to the loading direction. We alsoshow that the periodicity of the cracks array dependsstrongly on the external stress applied to the oxidescale. In the second section we briefly review the ther-modynamics and crystallographic aspects of the scaleformation. This analysis gives the effective values ofthe growth strain in the system. Two-step numericalmodelling of the process is presented in Section 4. Thenumerical procedure introduces first a simplified 1Dmodel and then the 3D finite elements approach basedon the eight-node hexahedron discretisation, static im-plicit Simo]Taylor algorithm and a field mappingmethod. The results of the modelling which takes intoaccount epitaxial deformations due to the scale order-ing and to the mismatch of the lattice parameters, the

2. Experimental

2.1. Micro-structural analysis

The samples of single-crystalline nickel with a crys-Ž .tallographic 111 Ni surface orientation were exposed

to oxidation at 5508C for 4 h. To characterise oursamples we use the standard scanning electron micro-scopy technique. The oxide scale NiO shows a well-pro-nounced duplex structure which consists of the externallayer made of columnar grains, with a thickness rangingbetween 0.3 and 0.4 mm and the internal layer of

Ž .equiaxed grains with a thickness of 0.1]0.2 mm Fig. 1 .Both layers have the same crystallographic structure.During the application of stress in creep, a periodicarray of cracks appears for a critical load of 10 MPa.The cracks are parallel to each other and lie perpendic-

Ž .ularly to the axis of traction Fig. 2a . For the higherstresses, local fracture leads to spallations of the exter-

Ž .nal oxidised layer Fig. 2b . The distance, l, between

2.2. External stress effect on NirNiO

The mechanical behaviour was studied in a specificŽ .set-up Fig. 4 . This prototype set-up enables us to

Ž .measure the mechanical parameters stress and strainŽof the NirNiO system deformed by creep or without

.mechanical loading in the oxygen environment. More-over, the stress relaxation experiments at the end ofcreep tests were performed to make our mechanicalanalysis more precise. The creep tests are carried outwith loads varying from 10 to 90 MPa. The mechanicalbehaviour in creep can be divided in two fields of

Ž .stress: a diffusional type creep Nf1.3 for low loadŽ . Ž .up to 35 MPa and a power law creep Nf3.9 for the

Ž .higher loads Fig. 5 where the total strain rate istotal N Ž .expressed as: « sA ?s A and N are constants .˙

2.3. Oxidation induced stress in NiO

To determine the stress present in initial oxide filmwithout external load, we also used a deflection set-upschematised in Fig. 6. The samples are protected onone side against oxidation by a silica layer. Annealingtreatment has been performed in vacuum for 6 h atTs4008C to relax the internal stress which mightoccur during deposition. We measured then their cur-vature with a laser device. The speed of relief is ap-proximately 10y2 MPa sy1. The curvature D of the

Ž .sample varies from negative values tension at theŽbeginning of the process to positive values compres-

. Ž .sion after 3 h of oxidation at 5508C Fig. 7 . Weobserve a state of zero stress reached after 2 h. We willreturn to the numerical modelling of the curvaturechange in Section 4 and especially Section 5.2.

3. Crystallography aspects

In our previous works we have proposed a scheme ofthermo-mechanical analysis of the NirNiO systemw x6]8 . At the first step of this analysis we determine thepossible crystallographic structure of the metalroxideinterface according to the general method given by

w xLahoche et al. 10 . This method gives the possibility todetermine the 3D structure for the interface formed bya dominant cation diffusion process. The structure ofthe 3D interface is less symmetric with respect to theequilibrium oxide one due to the ordering of the metal-lic ions in the interstices of the oxygen matrix. Thermo-dynamic description of the order]disorder transforma-tion permits the advancement of a thermodynamic

w xreason for the duplex structure formation 8 .

4.1. Numerical procedure

We use the numerical procedure which permits tocalculate stress and strain state in an oxide scale underexternal loading and includes the possibility to simulatecrack and defect generation in the scale. The proce-

Ž .dure can be divided into several steps Fig. 8 . On thefirst step we calculate the residual stress which exists inthe film grown on the metallic substrate using one-di-

Ž .mensional 1D growth model. It is based on the modi-w xfied version of the Bernstein model 12 and takes into

account the growth deformations and the duplex struc-ture of the oxide scale presented in the previous sec-tion. The following step realises a three-dimensional

Ž .of diffuse approximation meshless method . Then, thecalculation associated with an external loading is per-formed with initial stress transferred. The meshingchoice is rather arbitrary and can be adapted to theeventual stress concentrations or singularities whichcan be induced, for example, by the presence of cracks.

4.2. One-dimensional model

Several 1D models for the stress calculation in anoxide scale on a metal have been proposed recentlyw x6]8,13 . However, these models do not take into ac-count the flexion of the metalroxide system induced bythe asymmetric one-face oxidation of the substrate.The model proposed in this work permits to simulateboth symmetric and asymmetric sample oxidation tak-

Žing into account epitaxial strain and inelastic one Fig..9a,b . In the following description we use the symmetry

index S of the system: Ss1 for the case of symmetricoxidation; and Ss0 for the asymmetric one. Thethickness of the scale being small with respect to itsother dimensions, one can neglect the end effects,namely, the lateral oxidation. In addition, we can sup-pose plane stress situation with s s0, which satisfiesz zequilibrium, compatibility and boundary conditions.Crystallographic analysis of the metalroxide interface

Ž .case no shear stress is present in the scale . Thebehaviour of both metal and oxide is supposed to bevisco-plastic during the high-temperature stage of theoxidation cycle. The strain is position-dependent andsatisfies the constitutive equation:

4.3. Three-dimensional model

The proposed 3D model is based on the eight-nodew xhexahedrons discretisation 14,15 . We use an updated

Lagrangian formulation based on the virtual worksprinciple written for the deformed configuration. Thealgorithm of the equilibrium equation time integration

w xis of the static implicit Simo and Taylor type 16 anduses the Newton]Raphson method. The material be-haviour is considered to be visco-plastic. For that goalit is necessary to transfer the values calculated on theprevious step onto the meshing adopted to the crack

Žgeneration the meshing should be thinner at the crack.tip . Thus, we have to use so-called field mapping. The

most usual method of field mapping consists of extrap-olating the fields to the node of the old mesh theninterpolating those values to the integration points ofthe new mesh. However, this method does not inter-polate and does not generally ensure that stresses atthe integration point of the new mesh verify the plasticadmissibility when their neighbours in the old mesh do.Instead, a weighted least-squares approximation

This method does not require field extrapolation to theold mesh nodes, and so is more accurate than the finiteinterpolation method. Nevertheless, when using thediffuse approximation method, the mapped fields gen-erally do not respect the local nor the global equilib-rium. An equilibrium state can be restored by continu-ing the analysis without increasing loads on the struc-ture for one step.

5.1. Parameters of the oxidation simulation and materialconstants

In this section, we present the results of the numeri-cal modelling. The oxidation temperature is taken to beT s5508C. The oxidation period is 4 h in order tooxobtain an oxide thickness of h s0.50 mm onto aoxmetallic substrate h s1.00 mm thick. The relatedm

5.2. Asymmetric oxidation } deflection

The first numerical result concerns the change of thecurvature sign during the oxidation process. We studythe oxidation of a sample protected on one side. Theasymmetry of the deformation in this case induces adeflection of the sample. Note that the experimentalresults and the numerical model are expressed in dif-ferent terms. Thus, the experimental curvature x hasexpbeen calculated with the help of the measured dis-placement D in order to put it into correspondencewith the calculated curvature x . The numerical re-numsults obtained in the framework of the method pre-sented in Section 5.1 are resumed in Fig. 11. Thenumerical curve is in a good agreement with the exper-

Žimental data obtained by the deflection technique see

5.3. Crack formation during oxidation of a loaded sample

Another application of the proposed schemeconcerns the influence of the crack formation on themechanical behaviour of the symmetrically oxidisedŽ .111 Ni sample which shows no flexion effect. In thismodel, the results obtained by the 1D modelling ofstress and strain in a crack-free sample are then in-jected into the 3D model of a sample with a cracksarray and serve as initial data. After the mapping of theinitial strain, stress and internal variables, we computethe behaviour of the coated cracked metallic structureunder mechanical load. To obtain the new mechanicalequilibrium in the presence of cracks, one should rear-range the boundary conditions: the crack lips are taken

Žthis value of course, this result is obtained withouttaking into account the possibility of additional crack

6. Conclusion

In the first experimental part of this work, we haveshown the influence of the external load on the cracksformation in the NirNiO system. The creep tests havebeen carried out in order to identify the behaviour lawof both compounds; they have reveal two qualitativelydifferent regimes of the system evolution. In the sec-ond part of the paper, we have developed a general 1D

Ž .model of the symmetric and asymmetric growth of theoxide on the metallic substrate. It is accompanied withthe crystallographic and thermo-dynamical analysis of

the cation oxidation phenomenon. The model takesinto account different types of strains: epitaxial, growthand thermal ones together with the visco-plastic be-haviour of both compounds and temperature variationof their physical parameters.

The results of the 1D modelling are in a goodagreement with the experimental data on the deflexionof the asymmetrically oxidised sample. The 3D finiteelement model proposed in our work permits the studyof the behaviour of the metalroxide system in thepresence of cracks array. The stress level evolution atthe surface of the oxide with cracks during the loadingprocess has been estimated. This work constitutes anew numerical method which can be developed andgeneralised to obtain quantitative criteria for oxidecoating adherence both during growth and loading.
