Nowadays high temperatures resistant materials are needed to resist to high temperature applications (up to 1000°C), such as automotive exhaust gas manifolds. Some developed stainless steel grades, including ferritic grades or austenitic refractory grades, can be used in this temperature range and both in continuous or cyclic thermal conditions. In order to predict the thermomechanical fatigue damage of stainless steel parts submitted to cyclic thermal loading and constrained bonding conditions, the elastoviscoplastic model by Chaboche is determined for a wide range of temperatures, of strain amplitudes and strain rate levels thanks to isothermal traction-compression tests. The validation procedure is performed afterward by comparison with stabilized behavior under non isothermal conditions on a dedicated thermal fatigue test performed on V-shape specimens. Results of simulation show very good fitting with the experimental curves which would lead to a more accurate fatigue life prediction. A damage model was derived from Taira’s thermal low-cycle fatigue model to include dwell-time period at high temperature and creep-oxidation effect. In this paper the example of K44X, a dedicated grade for high temperatures applications, is presented.

Stress Ratios

In the same context of thermo-mechanical fatigue and high temperature applications of stainless steel, high-frequency vibration fatigue at high temperatures should be considered, in particular for automotive exhaust gas applications. In fact one of the most frequent incidents that can happen on exhaust components is an accumulation of low-cycle thermal fatigue and high-cycle fatigue. The prediction of the lifetime of a structure under such complex thermal and mechanical loading is therefore a constant challenge at high temperature due to the coupling of metallurgical, oxidation or creep effects. In order to better understand in a first approach, the high cycle fatigue of stainless steels at high temperatures, tractioncompression tests were performed on flat specimens at 25Hz, under air and in isothermal conditions from ambient temperature to 850°C. Two different stress ratios, R=-1 and 0.1, are characterized with the objective to assess a multiaxial model for high temperature. Different criteria are used to predict the ruin of a structure under high-cycle fatigue but in general for ambient-around temperatures. In particular, multiaxial and stress-based DangVan criterion is today widely used to evaluate the risk of fatigue cracks initiation and it has been implemented recently in our fatigue life processor Xhaust_Life®. Therefore the Dang Van criterion was identified from the isothermal high cycle fatigue using the 2 stress ratio and its validity is discussed especially for temperatures higher than 500°C where strain rate and creep effects have increasing influence. Results are presented for two ferritic stainless steel grades used in high temperature exhaust applications: K41X (AISI 441, EN 1.4509) and K44X (AISI 444Nb, EN 1.4521).

The combination of cyclic mechanical and cyclic thermal loading leads to thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) which is considered to be the primary life-limiting factor for engineering components in many high-temperature applications. Extensive low-cycle fatigue (LCF) data, which is traditionally used for design purposes, has been generated isothermally on various high-temperature materials, and thus, it is tempting to try to predict TMF life based mainly on isothermal LCF data. In this contribution, studies on different metallic structural high-temperature materials, which have mainly been carried out in the author's laboratory, are reviewed addressing the question, in which way and to which extent a reliable, unerring and robust TMF life assessment is possible on the basis of isothermally obtained fatigue life data. It is shown by means of examples that a sound TMF life prediction first of all requires a detailed mechanistic understanding of the isothermal cyclic stress-strain response and the relevant damage mechanisms. Furthermore, the TMF-specific peculiarities in both the non-isothermal cyclic stress-strain behaviour and the non-isothermal damage evolution process must be known. If all these requirements are fulfilled and reflected in the TMF life assessment methodology applied, a reasonable predictive accuracy can be attained.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Caterpillar (CAT) have recently developed a new cast austenitic stainless steel, CF8C-Plus, for a wide range of high-temperature applications, including diesel exhaust components and turbine casings. The creep-rupture life of the new CF8C-Plus is over ten times greater than that of the standard cast CF8C stainless steel, and the creep-rupture strength is about 50–70% greater. Another variant, CF8C-Plus Cu/W, has been developed with even more creep strength at 750–850°C. The creep strength of these new cast austenitic stainless steels is close to that of wrought Ni-based superalloys such as 617. CF8C-Plus steel was developed in about 1.5 years using an “engineered microstructure” alloy development approach, which produces creep resistance based on the formation of stable nanocarbides (NbC), and resistance to the formation of deleterious intermetallics (sigma, Laves) during aging or service. The first commercial trial heats (227.5 kg or 500 lb) of CF8C-Plus steel were produced in 2002, and to date, over 27,215 kg (300 tons) have been produced, including various commercial component trials, but mainly for the commercial production of the Caterpillar regeneration system (CRS). The CRS application is a burner housing for the on-highway heavy-duty diesel engines that begins the process to burn-off particulates trapped in the ceramic diesel particulate filter (DPF). The CRS/DPF technology was required to meet the new more stringent emissions regulations in January, 2007, and subjects the CRS to frequent and severe thermal cycling. To date, all CF8C-Plus steel CRS units have performed successfully. The status of testing for other commercial applications of CF8C-Plus steel is also summarized.

AbstractIn this study, the high-temperature deformation behaviour of a TC17 titanium alloy was investigated by isothermal hot compression tests in a wide range of temperatures (973–1223 K) and strain rates (0.001–10 s−1). Then, the constitutive equations of different phase regimes (α + β and single β phases) were developed on the basis of experimental stress-strain data. The influence of the strain has been incorporated in the constitutive equation by considering its effect on different material constants for the TC17 titanium alloy. Furthermore, the predictability of the developed constitutive equation was verified by the correlation coefficient and average absolute relative error. The results indicated that the obtained constitutive equations could predict the high-temperature flow stress of a TC17 titanium alloy with good correlation and generalization.

An experimental study of the friction of metals which have been coated with inorganic films by reaction with their surrounding atmosphere. The specimens are first cleaned at high temperature in vacuo and then heated in the selected reactive vapor. Many coatings will prevent seizure and give a fairly constant but high coefficient of friction up to high temperatures. Layer-lattice compounds such as MoS2, CrCl3, and TiI2 give much lower friction at all temperatures below those at which the film decomposes or evaporates (about 850 C for molybdenum disulphide). A film of boron nitride formed on boron shows a high intrinsic friction, but this can be reduced by certain vapors or by raising the temperature above about 800 C. Most of the experiments were performed with very light loads but the films are shown to be effective under kilogram loads. A simple indentation test capable of selecting lubricants under loads up to 12 tons is described. This shows that a film formed by heating stainless steel in CCl2F2 will lubricate at 400 C when the steel is deformed by over 50 per cent.

Damage Models

The inner liner of a combustion chamber of a cryogenic liquid rocket engine is exposed to a high load induced by the high temperature of the hot gas and the low temperature of the coolant. The high load causes some inelastic strain that accumulates with each operational cycle until the fracture or rupture of the inner liner. A model that can reproduce the propagation of damage under a thermally cycled load is essential for precisely predicting the chamber life. However, the damage propagation phenomenon or the quantitative value of the damage was so far not fully discussed using the damage data obtained from basic testing of a rocket chamber material. The purpose of the present study was to investigate a precise prediction model based on damage mechanics for simulating the damage propagation of a rocket chamber material. In this study, low cycle fatigue test data at a high temperature (900 K) were analyzed, and damage models that could reproduce the damage propagation under cyclic load conditions were investigated. Then the parameters were identified to reproduce uniaxial test data. These damage models were also subject to a finite element method analysis of a thermomechanical fatigue panel test in order to quantitatively evaluate the deformation, damage propagation, and life of a chamber wall. The analysis of low cycle fatigue test data at 900 K suggested a specific model that could precisely reproduce the damage propagation phenomenon and the basic material test data. From the results, it was confirmed that the model could predict the location of crack initiation.
