The low cycle fatigue behaviors of TI-6AL-4V alloy controlled by strain were investigated by experiment. The fatigue tests were performed at room temperature, and cyclic strain and stress ratio are 0.1 with triangle load wave. The results show that TI-6AL-4V alloy is soften rapidly under the cyclic tensile stresses and it is harden rapidly under the cyclic compressive stresses during the initial-stage of strain controlled fatigue, and the rates of cyclic soften and cyclic harden are decreased with the fatigue progress. The soften rate is related to the cyclic strain but little to the cyclic stress during the overall fatigue progress. The change of cyclic stress is related to the macro friction stresses. The results of experiment show that obvious cyclic creep occurs under the stress controlled low cycle fatigue conditions, and the magnitude of cyclic creep strain is related to the maximum cyclic stress. The softening of tensile friction stresses is the main factor of cyclic creep.

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.

An experimental and theoretical study was performed of the nonlinear behavior of a simply supported flat circular aluminum plate under reversed cyclic central load. The application is for the analysis of cyclic stress and strain of structural components in the plastic range for predicting low-cycle fatigue life. The main purpose was to determine the relative accuracy of an elastic-plastic large deformation finite element analysis when the material properties input data are derived from monotonic (noncyclic) stress-strain curves versus that derived from cyclic stress-strain curves. The results showed that large errors could be induced in the theoretical prediction of cyclic strain range when using the monotonic stress-strain curve, which could lead to large errors in predicting low-cycle fatigue life. The use of cyclic stress-strain curves, according to the model developed by Morrow, et al., proved to be accurate and convenient.

The low-cycle fatigue behaviors of as-extruded and T6 treated Al-6Zn-2.5Mg-2Cu-0.1Zr-0.1Sc alloys at room temperature have been investigated under those total-strain amplitudes ranged from 0.3% to 1.0%, and the influence of T6 treatment on the low-cycle fatigue properties of Al-6Zn-2.5Mg-2Cu-0.1Zr-0.1Sc alloy was clarified. The experimental results show that during fatigue deformation, the significant cyclic strain hardening and stable cyclic stress response can be noted for both as-extruded and T6 treated Al-6Zn-2.5Mg-2Cu-0.1Zr-0.1Sc alloys. The fatigue life of as-extruded Al-6Zn-2.5Mg-2Cu-0.1Zr-0.1Sc alloy at all strain amplitudes is longer than that of the alloy subjected to T6 aging treatment. The relationship between both elastic and plastic strain amplitudes with reversals to failure shows a monotonic linear behavior, and can be described by the Basquin and Coffin-Manson equations, respectively. The T6 treatment can significantly increase the cyclic strain hardening exponent and cyclic strength coefficient of extruded Al-6Zn-2.5Mg-2Cu-0.1Zr-0.1Sc alloy.

Experimental data from cyclic strain fatigue tests on twelve structural materials are compared on the basis of a low cycle fatigue equation as suggested by an ASME task group. This equation S=Ec2N1/2+Se where Se is the endurance limit, E the modulus of elasticity, N the cycles to failure, and c a constant derived from reported values of reduction in area, gives the stress amplitude S for comparison with elastically computed stresses. A satisfactory or good correlation with experiments for up to 105 cycles of failure is found.

Low cycle fatigue behavior of spray formed superalloy GH738 at 650°C has been investigated under fully reversed total strain-controlled mode. When strain amplitude (Δεt/2) is between 0.32% and 0.4%, cyclic stress response is stable under fully reversed constant total strain amplitude. The stabilized hysteresis loops narrowing sharply to a straight line indicates that the alloy exhibits typical elastic strain. The crack initiates single site from the surface. When strain amplitude is between 0.6% and 1.0%, cyclic hardening is observed until fracture. The tendency for hardening is found to increase with strain amplitude. The hyperesis loops expand gradually, which indicates that plastic deformation happens during cyclic deformation process. The crack initiates multi-sites from the surface. The cyclic strain-stress relationship of spray formed GH738 at 650°C can be illustrated by Δσ/2 =2017(Δεp/2)0.1489.The total strain-life function can expressed by Δεt/2=0.0071(2Nf)-0.0781+0.0647(2Nf) )-0.4914.
