Energy Aspect

The in-phase and out-of-phase thermal fatigue of aluminum alloy were experimentally studied. The fatigue life was evaluated analytically by using the elastic-plastic fracture mechanics method (mainly J integral). The results of experiments and calculations showed that the life of out-of-phase fatigue was longer than that of in-phase fatigue within the same strain range. This is the same as the results of other materials such as medium and low carbon steel. On the other hand, the predicted life was consistent with experimental results. This suggests that J integral as a mechanics parameter for characterizing the thermal fatigue strength of aluminum alloy and the calculation method developed here is efficient. A parameter ΔW was proposed from energy aspect to characterize the capacity of crack propagation. The in-phase thermal fatigue life was the same as the out-of-phase thermal fatigue life for identical ΔW values.

Different Temperatures

Abstract It has been clarified that the fatigue life is decreased in the fatigue test of high-temperature and high-pressure water that simulates PWR reactor coolant environment compared to that in the atmosphere. Temperature, strain rates, dissolved oxygen concentration, etc. affect the decrease of fatigue life. The influence of crack growth behavior on the fatigue life of Type 316 austenitic stainless steel [1] in simulated PWR reactor coolant environment of different temperatures was investigated in this study. Fatigue tests were conducted under different temperatures (200°C and 325°C) in a simulated PWR reactor coolant environment with interrupting, and cracks generated on the specimen surface were observed with two-step replica method. From the results of observation, the influence of crack growth behavior in different temperatures on the fatigue life was clarified. As a result, it was confirmed that the decrease of the fatigue life due to high temperature is mainly caused by the acceleration of crack propagation rate in the depth direction by the increase of crack coalescence frequency due to the increase of crack initiation number and crack propagation rate in the length direction.
