A modification of the notch stress procedure for fatigue-life analysis is presented. The importance of considering the mechanics of the specimen and the effects of the notch on specimen mechanics is illustrated by example. The procedure is applied to correlate the results of small specimen tests with large weld defect specimen tests. The significance of crack-initiation life and crack-propagation life and the dependence of these portions of total fatigue life on specimen geometry and loading is developed.

The article presents the results of research on low cycle fatigue strength of laser welded joints vs. non-welded material of high-strength steel DOMEX 700 MC. The tests were performed under load controlled using the total strain amplitude ɛac. The operating principle of the special electro-mechanic fatigue testing equipment with a suitable clamping system was working on 35 Hz frequency. Fatigue life analysis was conducted based on the Manson-Coffin-Basquin equation, which made it possible to determine fatigue parameters. Studies have shown differences in the fatigue life of original specimens and laser welded joints analysed, where laser welded joints showed lower fatigue resistance. In this article a numerical analysis of stresses generated in bending fatigue specimens has been performed employing the commercially available FEM-program ADINA.

The present work is focused on the study of microstructure and low cycle fatigue behavior of the first generation nickel-base superalloy IN 713LC (low carbon) and its promising second generation successor MAR-M247 HIP (hot isostatic pressing) at 900 °C. Microstructure of both alloys was studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The microstructure of both materials is characterized by dendritic grains, carbides and casting defects. Size and morphology of precipitates and casting defects were evaluated. Fractographic observations have been made with the aim to reveal the fatigue crack initiation place and relation to the casting defects and material microstructure. Low cycle fatigue tests were conducted on cylindrical specimens in symmetrical push-pull cycle under strain control with constant total strain amplitude and strain rate at 900 °C in air. Hardening/softening curves, cyclic stress-strain curve and fatigue life data of both materials were obtained. Cyclic stress-strain curve of MAR M247 is shifted approximately to 120 MPa higher stress amplitudes in comparison with IN 713LC. Significantly higher fatigue life of MAR-M247 has been observed in Basquin representation. On the other hand IN 713LC shows prolonged lifetime compared with MAR-M247 in the Coffin-Manson representation. Results obtained from high temperature low cycle fatigue tests are discussed.
