Rigorous control of the annealing practice and certain alloying elements can directly influence key characteristics which aid in optimizing low cycle fatigue (LCF) properties of INCONEL® alloy 617. These procedures favorably influence grain size, carbide microstructure and mechanical properties. It is shown how an optimum combination of these procedures can greatly improve LCF properties of alloy 617 sheet.

A newly-developed rare earth-containing ME20 magnesium alloy was studied in this thesis. As a potential structural material for applications in automotive industry, low cycle fatigue properties are inevitably required. Strain-controlled low cycle fatigue tests were conducted on this wrought alloy with different specimen orientations. Microstructure, tensile behaviors and low cycle fatigue properties were studied. The effect of different specimen orientations on microstructures and mechanical properties were also discussed. Results show that rare earth element addition in this alloy helped weaken the texture and specimen orientations had little influence over microstructure and fatigue properties of this magnesium alloy.

In this paper, the microstructure and properties of AZ91D-xCa-ySr were studied by adding alloying elements. The mechanical properties were investigated by WDT-10 micro-electric universal testing machine and WD-T low cycle fatigue testing machine. The OLYMPUS-GX71 Optical electronic microscope, XRD and SEM were employed to investigate the microstructure of AZ91D. The results showed that the grains were refined by adding Ca,Sr,Gd and Y. Low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of AZ91D-0.4Ca-0.3Sr was improved obviously by adding 3.0%Gd and 3.0%Y into material, the tensile strengthen was up to 299Mpa, the elongation was 0.78%.

In this work, the sensitivity zone of microstructure and temperature for precipitation-strengthened nickel-based superalloys, used for turbine applications in aero-engines, has been firstly established. Heat treatment experiments with different solution temperatures were carried out. The microstructure evolution and creep residual strain sensitivity, low cycle fatigue properties, and tensile properties are analyzed, and the essential reason for the fluctuation of the mechanical properties of nickel-based superalloys was revealed. The main results obtained are as follows: following subsolvus solution heat treatment with a temperature of 1020 °C, samples have a high primary γ′I phase content, which is beneficial to low creep residual strain. Above the supersolvus solution temperature of 1040 °C, the creep residual strain value and low cycle fatigue performance fluctuate significantly. The essential reason for the dramatic fluctuation of performance is the presence of γ′ phases in different sizes and quantities, especially following the solution heat treatment in the temperature-sensitive zone of the γ′I phase, which is likely to cause huge fluctuations in the microstructure of tertiary γ′III phases. A zone of particular sensitivity in terms of temperature and microstructure for the γ′I phase is proposed. The range of suitable solution temperatures are discussed. In order to maintain stable mechanical properties without large fluctuations, the influence of the sensitivity within this temperature and microstructure zone on the γ′ phase should be considered.

16MnR steel is one of C-Mn steels widely used for pressure vessels in China. Mechanical behaviors of 16MnR steel used as liquefied petroleum gas vessel for about 100,000hr have been investigated in this paper. The macrostructure, fracture toughness, fatigue-crack growth rate, and low-cycle fatigue properties of the samples have been studied in detail. Compared the results with that of GB6654-86 (one of Chinese national material standards) and other test data of 16MnR steel, it indicates that the mechanical properties of the long-term used 16MnR steel have not been degraded and aged.

The microstructures and fatigue properties of the TNTZ added with Y or Y2O3 have been investigated. The results indicate that TNTZ added with Y or Y2O3 are all found to be composed of β phase and the small amount of Y2O3. The grain size of TNTZ added with Y or Y2O3 is smaller than that of TNTZ. The Young’s modulus of TNTZ added with Y or Y2O3 are maintained at a low level, and Young’s modulus of TNTZ added with Y is smaller than that of TNTZ added with Y2O3. The mechanical properties are both improved by adding Y or Y2O3, while the tensile strength of TNTZ added with Y2O3 is slightly higher than that added with Y. The high cycle fatigue limit of the alloys added with Y or Y2O3 are similar, while the low cycle fatigue strength of TNTZ added with Y is higher than that added with Y2O3. The improvement in fatigue properties ascribes to the microstructure refinement and the pining effect of Y2O3 particles. On the other hand, Y elements form Y2O3 with the Oxygen elements in the matrix, thus lead to the weakening of the Oxygen solution effect.

The fatigue behavior of metals is strongly governed by the grain size variation. As the tensile strength, the fatigue limit increases with decreasing grain size in the microcrystalline regime. A different trend in mechanical properties has been demonstrated in many papers for metals with ultrafine (< 1 m) and nanocrystalline (< 100 nm) grain size in particular in the yield stress and fatigue crack initiation and growth. The fatigue behavior of electrodeposited nanocrystalline Ni (20 and 40 nm mean grain size) and nanocrystalline Co (20 nm) has been analyzed in the present paper by means of stress controlled tests. The monothonic mechanical properties of the materials were obtained from tensile tests by employing an Instron 5800 machine by measuring the strain with an extensometer up to 2.5% maximum strain. The strain gage specimen dimensions measured 20 mm length and 5 mm width, all the specimens were produced by electro-discharge machining. The low cycle fatigue tests were performed with specimens of the same geometry of the tensile ones in tension-tension with load ratio R=0.25. The fatigue crack propagation experiments were carried out by employing single edge notched specimens measuring 39 mm in length, 9.9 mm in width and with an electro-discharge machined edge-notch of 1 mm. All the endurance fatigue and crack propagation tests were performed at 10 Hz.
