High strength nickel-base super alloys have been used in turbine blades for many years because of their superior performance at high temperature. The prediction of fatigue life for superalloys is important for improving the efficiency. In this study, low cycle fatigue tests are performed the variables of total strain range, and room and elevated temperature. The relations between plastic and total strain energy densities and number of cycles to failure are examined in order to predict the low cycle fatigue life of IN738LC super alloy. The fatigue life is evaluated by the Coffin-Manson equation, also the predicted lives by plastic and total strain energy density are compared with experimental results.

Co -base superalloys have been applied in the stationary components of gas turbine owing to their excellent high temperature properties. Low cycle fatigue data on ECY-768 reported in a companion paper were used to evaluate fatigue life prediction models. In this study, low cycle fatigue tests are performed as the variables of total strain range and temperatures. The relations between plastic and total strain energy densities and number of cycles to failure are examined in order to predict the low cycle fatigue life of Cobalt-based super alloy at different temperatures. The fatigue lives is evaluated using predicted by Coffin-Manson method and strain energy methods is compared with the measured fatigue lives at different temperatures. The microstructure observing was performed for how affect able to low-cycle fatigue life by increasing the temperature.

Specimens of a directionally solidified superalloy with different shot peening pressure were annealed at 1220oC in vacuum condition to get recrystallized surface layers with different micro-structures. Low cycle fatigue tests of these specimens were performed at room temperature and 400oC by using an electrohydraulic load frame in the SEM system for real-time observation. The initiation and propagation of cracks were inspected and the influence of the micro-structure of the recrystallized layer on the material fatigue behavior was analyzed. The low cycle fatigue life of the specimens depends mainly on the characteristics of the recrystallized layer. When the shot peening pressure is lower, the recrystallized layer is thin and not integrated, and the fatigue life decreases obviously in comparison with that of the specimen without recrystallized surface layer. When the shot peening pressure increases, the recrystal grains are more integrated, and the fatigue life rises. A comparison of the recrystallized layers between the blade surface and the specimen surface has been done and it points that the incompact surface recrystal layer is very dangerous to gas turbine blades.

This paper presents the results of tests conducted on the HR6W (23Cr-45Ni-6W-Nb-Ti-B) alloy under low-cycle fatigue at room temperature and at 650 °C. Fatigue tests were carried out at constant values of the total strain ranges. The alloy under low-cycle fatigue showed cyclic strengthening both at room temperature and at 650 °C. The degree of HR6W strengthening described by coefficient n’ was higher at higher temperatures. At the same time, its fatigue life Nf at room temperature was, depending on the range of total strain adopted in the tests, several times higher than observed at 650 °C.

AbstractLow cycle fatigue life of high-strength reinforcing steel bars (ASTM A706 Grade 80), using photogrammetry by RGB methodology is evaluated. Fatigue tests are performed on specimens under constant axial displacement with total strain amplitudes ranging from 0.01 to 0.05. The experimental observations indicate that buckling of high-strength reinforcing bars results in a damaging degradation of their fatigue life performance as the slenderness ratio increases, including an early rebar failure as the total strain amplitude increases since it achieves the plastic range faster. In addition to this, the results show that the ratio of the ultimate tensile strength to yield strength satisfies the minimum of 1.25 specified in ASTM A706 for reinforcement. On the other hand, the RGB methodology indicates that the axial strains measured by photogrammetry provide more accurate data since the registered results by the traditional experimental setup do not detect second-order effects, such as slippage or lengthening of the specimens within the clamps. Moreover, the RGB filter is faster than digital image correlation (DIC) because the RGB methodology requires a fewer computational cost than DIC algorithms. The RGB methodology allows to reduce the total strain amplitude up to 45% compared to the results obtained by the traditional setup. Finally, models relating total strain amplitude with half-cycles to failure and total strain amplitude with total energy dissipated for multiple slenderness ratios (L/d of 5, 10, and 15) are obtained.

In this paper, a high-temperature low-cycle fatigue life prediction model, based on the total strain energy density method, was established. Considering the influence of the Masing and non-Masing behavior of materials on life prediction, a new life prediction model was obtained by modifying the existing prediction model. With an 800H alloy of the heat transfer tube of a steam generator as the research object, the high-temperature and low-cycle fatigue test was carried out at two temperatures. The results show that the predicted and experimental results are in good agreement, proving the validity of the life prediction model.
