With the increase of inlet temperatures of the aeroengines, high generation single crystal superalloys were used widely, and more and more complicated structures were employed. Thermal fatigue cracks around the cooling holes were reported to be one of the most important failure mechanisms. In this work, the thermal fatigue behaviors of a third generation single crystal superalloy with different secondary orientations were studied and the effect of secondary orientation on oxidation behaviors around the cooling holes during thermal fatigue tests of samples was investigated by OM, SEM and EDS. The results showed that no cracks was found around the holes even after 560 cyc thermal fatigue tests for both (100) and (110) specimens. But the oxidation behaviors around the holes were different for samples with different secondary orientations, and oxidation layers with different thicknesses were observed around each hole. After 1 cyc thermal fatigue test, the average thickness of oxidation layer around the (110) specimens was almost the same as that of the (100) specimens. After 20 cyc thermal fatigue test, thicker oxidation layers were detected in (110) specimens than that in (100) specimens. Larger difference was observed with the ongoing of the thermal fatigue tests. After 560 cyc, the average oxidation thickness is round 137 μm for (110) specimens, while it is only 88 μm for (100) specimens. Furthermore, the oxidation layer shows different thickness at the different positions of a hole. For (100) specimens, the thickness of oxidation layer decreases in the sequences of [010], [011] and [001] direction, while for (110) specimens it decreases in the sequences of [110], [112] and [001] direction. It was discussed based on the combined effect of thermal stress anisotropy of the sample and local thermal stress anisotropy around the holes, which were caused by crystal anisotropy of single crystals, and the different microstructures around the holes.
