The influence of service-induced degradation on residual life is very important for the safe service of turbine blades. In this study, a series of simulation experiments were conducted on a directionally solidified superalloy under (880–1020) °C/(70–220) MPa and interrupted after 500 h. Then, the stress rupture life of the interrupted specimens was tested under 980 °C/275 MPa. The results showed that the increase of simulated experiment temperature decreased the residual stress rupture life. In brief, the simulation experiments at 880 °C did not influence the residual stress rupture life of the alloy. The simulated experiments at 980 °C and 1050 °C mainly affected the microstructure of γ’ phase, while not γ/γ’ eutectic and carbides. After the stress rupture tests under 980 °C/275 MPa, cracks were located at the interfaces between carbides and γ matrix in the interdendritic regions. This study provides guidance on the degradation evaluation and safety service of the directionally solidified superalloys.
