Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensive smooth-bar low-cycle-fatigue (LCF) and fatigue crack growth (FCG) experiments on three solid-solution-strengthened superalloys HASTELLOY X, HAYNES 230, and HAYNES 188 have been conducted at 816 and 927°C. Limited tests were run at 649°C, 871°C, and 982°C to study the temperature effect. The LCF tests were performed under a total-strain-range-control mode at Solar Turbines Inc., Metcut Research Inc., and The University of Tennessee (UT). The FCG tests were done under both the constant-load-range and constant-stress-intensity-factor-range modes at Westmoreland Testing Inc. and UT. Various hold times were imposed at the maximum strain or load in both the LCF and FCG tests, respectively, to investigate the hold-time effect. For the LCF tests, the influence of the total strain range and hold time on the cyclic stress response was determined at temperatures ranging from 816 to 982°C. At the temperatures considered, the HASTELLOY X alloy exhibited initial cyclic hardening, followed by a saturated cyclic-stress response or cyclic softening under LCF without hold times. For LCF tests with hold times, however, the alloy showed cyclic hardening, cyclic stability, or cyclic softening, which is closely related to the test temperature and the duration of the hold time. It was also observed that the LCF life of the X alloy considerably decreased due to the introduction of strain hold times. Generally, a longer hold time would result in a greater reduction in the fatigue life. For the tests without hold times, the test temperature seems to have little influence on the fatigue life of the X alloy at the test temperatures from 816 to 927°C. However, when the test temperature increased to 982°C, the fatigue life clearly shortened. The effects of heat-to-heat variation on the cyclic stress response were illustrated. A parameter based on the hysteresis energy was proposed to rationalize the LCF life data with and without hold times. In general, the fatigue life of HAYNES 230 alloy decreased as the temperature increased. However, at total strain ranges higher than 1.0% and without a hold time, the LCF life was longer at 927°C than at 816°C. This "abnormal" behavior was found to result from the smaller plastic strain amplitude at half-life at 927°C than that at 816°C. The introduction of a hold time led to a decrease in the fatigue life. At both 816 and 927°C, the material exhibited a cyclic hardening/softening behavior at higher total strain ranges and a cyclic hardening/saturation behavior at lower total strain ranges. An increase in the temperature and/or the introduction of a hold time decreased the hardening rate and increased the softening rate. The introduction of a hold time and/or the increase of the test temperature progressively changed the fracture mode from the transgranular to mixed trans/inter-granular, then to intergranular feature. Within the two phases of the fatigue process, crack initiation was more severely influenced by the change of the hold time and/or temperature. For the LCF of HAYNES 188 alloy, in the total-strain ranges used in this investigation, increasing the test temperature from 816 to 982°C shortened the fatigue life. This effect is especially clear at total-strain ranges smaller that 1.0%. Introducing hold times at the maximum tensile strain is found to lead to a significant reduction in the fatigue life. The HAYNES 188 alloy can exhibit cyclic hardening, cyclic hardening followed by softening or the saturated stress response, and cyclic softening during LCF deformation, which is closely related to the test temperature, the imposed total strain range, and the hold time. In addition, the HAYNES 188 alloy shows the heat-to-heat variation in the cyclic stress response curve. The FCG data were analyzed with an emphasis on hold-time and temperature effects. For both alloys, the crack grew faster at a higher temperature. It was also noted that the introduction of a hold time at the maximum load led to an increase in the cyclic crack-growth rate. The longer hold time gave the faster crack-growth rate, which was related to the gradual transition from transgranular to intergranular cracking. The crack-growth rates in the fatigue and creep tests were correlated with the stress-intensity-factor range, [delta]K, and the stress-intensity factor, K, respectively. The crack-propagation rates in the hold-time tests were predicted from the crackgrowth rates obtained from both the fatigue and the creep crack-growth tests, using a semi-empirical linear summation model. Crack-growth-rate predictions reproduce most of the characteristics observed experimentally. The crack-growth-rate data obtained from the FCG testing under load-range and stress-intensity-factor-rangecontrol modes were compared. In addition, time-dependent fracture-mechanics parameters, C*, C[subscript t], and (C[subscript t])[subscript avg], were applied to correlate the crack-growth rates. For both alloys, the fatigue-cracking path was mainly transgranular at 816 and 927°C. The cracking path became dominantly intergranular if the hold time increased to 2 min., indicating that the time-dependent damage mechanisms, creep and/or oxidation, were in control. When the time-dependent damage dominated (temperature [greater or lesser than] 816°C and hold time [greater or lesser than] 2 min.), the crack-growth rates can be correlated with C[subscript t] or (C[subscript])[subscript avg] parameters. The C[subscript t] and (C[subscript t])[subscript avg] parameters were capable of consolidating data from different temperatures and alloys. The fracture surfaces of both LCF- and FCG-tested samples were examined with the scanning-electron-microscopy (SEM). The tests in this study were conducted at high temperatures in air. Therefore, the fracture surfaces were frequently covered with a dark layer of oxides, making the fracture features difficult to identify. To overcome this problem, for the LCF testing, the failed samples were cut longitudinally through the fracture surfaces, and the sections were observed to locate secondary cracks. By combining the fractographic and metallographic results, the crack initiation and propagation for all tests were successfully investigated. However, for the FCG-failed samples, the major secondary cracks on specimen surfaces were not available. An oxide-stripping technique has been developed to overcome the oxide-layer problem. The technique consists of two steps. The sample is first boiled in a potassium permanganate solution for 1 hr, and then electrolytically cleaned in an alkaline solution for 5 min. with the sample as the cathode. Except for dislodging the carbides, the technique developed was capable of removing the oxides completely without altering the fracture-surface morphology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gas turbines are widely used in industry for power generation and as a power source at hard to reach locations where other possibilities for electrical power supplies are insufficient. New ways of producing greener energy is needed to reduce emission levels. This can be achieved by increasing the combustion temperature of gas turbines. High combustion temperatures can be detrimental and degrade critical components. This raises the demands on the high temperature performance of the superalloys used in gas turbine components. These components are frequently subjected to different cyclic loads combined with for example dwell-times and overloads at elevated temperatures, which can influence the crack growth. Dwell-times have been shown to accelerate crack growth and change cracking behaviour in both Inconel 718, Haynes 282 and Hastelloy X. On the other hand, overloads at the beginning of a dwell-time cycle have been shown to retard the dwell-time effect on crack growth in Inconel 718. More experiments and microstructural investigations are needed to better understand these effects. The work presented in this thesis was conducted under the umbrella of the research program Turbo Power; "High temperature fatigue crack propagation in nickel-based superalloys", where I have mainly looked at fatigue crack growth mechanisms in superalloys subjected to dwell-fatigue, which can have a devastating effect on crack propagation behaviour. Mechanical testing was performed under operation-like cycles in order to achieve representative microstructures and material data for the subsequent microstructural work. Microstructures were investigated using light optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques such as electron channeling contrast imaging (ECCI) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The outcome of this work has shown that there is a significant increase in crack growth rate when dwell-times are introduced at maximum load (0 % overload) in the fatigue cycle. With the introduction of a dwell-time there is also a shift from transgranular to intergranular crack growth for both Inconel 718 and Haynes 282. The crack growth rate decreases with increasing overload levels in Inconel 718 when an overload is applied prior to the dwell-time. At high temperature, intergranular crack growth was observed in Inconel 718 as a result of oxidation and the creation of nanometric voids. Another observed growth mechanism was crack advance along ?-phase boundaries with subsequent oxidation of the ?-phase. This thesis comprises two parts. Part I gives an introduction to the field of superalloys and the acting microstructural mechanisms related to fatigue and crack propagation. Part II consists of five appended papers, which report the work completed as part of the project.

Download or read book Micromechanisms of Low Cycle Fatigue in Nickel Based Superalloys at Elevated Temperatures written by RM. Pelloux and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The micromechanisms of high-temperature fatigue crack initiation and crack propagation in solid-solution and precipitation-strengthened nickel-base super-alloys are reviewed. The marked decrease in fatigue strength of a given superalloy with increasing temperature cannot be solely correlated with the temperature dependence of the short-time mechanical properties. The interactions between oxidation rates and fatigue strengths are very complex. The air environment plays a large role in accelerating the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks at elevated temperatures. Increasing temperature and decreasing frequency lead to a transition from transgranular to intergranular fracture path.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Symposium "Fatigue under Thermal and Mechanical Loading", held at Petten (The Netherlands) on May 22-24, 1995, was jointly organized by the Institute for Advanced Materials of The Joint Research Centre, E. C. , and by the Societe Fran~se de Metallurgie et de Materiaux. The fast heating and cooling cycles experienced by many high temperature components cause thermally induced stresses, which often operate in combination with mechanical loads. The resulting thermal / mechanical fatigue cycle leads to material degradation mechanisms and failure modes typical of service cycles. The growing awareness that the synergism between the combined thermal and mechanical loads can not be reproduced by means of isothermal tests, has resulted in an increasing interest in thermal and thermo-mechanical fatigue testing. This trend has been reinforced by the constant pull by industry for more performant, yet safer high temperature systems, pushing the materials to the limit of their properties. Dedicated ASTM meetings in particular have set the scene for this area of research. The proceedings of the symposium organized by D. A. Spera and D. F. Mowbray in 1975 provided a reference book on thermal fatigue which reflects the knowledge and experimental capabilities of the mid-seventies.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 781 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1979 the first InternationalSymposium on Low CycleFatigue and Elasto-Plastic Behaviour of Materials was held in Stuttgart, FRG. Since then research in low cycle fatigue has proceeded rapidly. The vital interest of engineers and researchers in communicating the rapid advances in the ongoing research in low cycle fatigue has encouraged me to initiate again the Second International Conference which was held in Munich, FRG, 7-11 September 1987. Failure in low cycle fatigue represents a serious problem in the design and opera tion of highly stressed structures. Under complex loading and environmental cir cumstances, especially for high temperature services, reliable life prediction can not be expected without detailed consideration of the failure mechanism and with out extensive use of mechanistic approaches. The purpose of this conference was to provide a forum to discuss the advances in recent research in the field of low cycle fatigue. The conference was intended to help to further bridge the gap between those who are involved in basic research, and the engineers who have to perform the design of highly stressed structural components.
