High Temperature Fatigue Crack Propagation in INCONEL718

MICROSTRUCTURE VARIATION EFFECTS ON ROOM TEMPERATURE FATIGUE THRESHOLDS AND CRACK PROPAGATION IN UDIMET 720Li Ni-BASE SUPERALLOY

An assessment of the effects of microstructure on room temperature fatigue threshold and crack propagation behaviour has been carried out on microstructural variants of U720Li, i.e. as-received U720Li, U720Li-LG (large grain variant) and U720Li-LP (large intragranular coherent γ′ variant). Fatigue tests were carried out at room temperature using a 20Hz sinusoidal cycling waveform at an Rratio=0...

Effects of microstructures on fatigue crack initiation and short crack propagation at room temperature in an advanced disc superalloy

Fatigue crack initiation and early short crack propagation behaviour in two microstructural variants of a recently developed Low Solvus, High Refractory (LSHR) disc superalloy at room temperature has been investigated by three-point bending with replication procedure. The results shows that fine gained (FG) LSHR possesses higher fatigue life due to its better crack initiation resistance, limite...

High temperature fatigue crack propagation behaviour of Inconel 718

The overall objective of this work has been to develop and evaluate tools for designing against fatigue in gas turbine applications, with special focus on the nickelbased superalloy Inconel 718. The fatigue crack propagation behaviour under high temperature hold times has been studied. Firstly, the main fatigue crack propagation phenomena have been investigated with the aim of setting up a basi...
