The Inconel’s alloy IN 718 has been developed by International Nickel Company in early 50-ties of 20thcentury. It is high-strength; corrosion-resistant nickel chromium material used at temperature range from-250°C up to 705°C. In this study, the high cycle fatigue (HCF) and very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) properties of IN718 superalloy with given chemical composition were investigated under push-pull high frequency fatigue test at room temperature. A S – N curve was obtained after testing. With the help of scanning electron microscope (SEM), fractography analyses were performed to disclose the fracture features of specimens in different life ranges.

A program has recently concluded that generated fatigue test data for the influence of a rotorcraft main rotor blade root bending spectrum (Helix) on the crack nucleation mechanisms in 7075-T651 aluminum. High-frequency tests were performed that generated spectrum fatigue failures out to nearly 109 cycles. Fractographic examination showed a distinct change in crack nucleation from slip initiated to inclusion-initiated cracking as the spectrum peak stress level was increased. Spectrum life predictions were made using three different baseline constant-amplitude S-N curves, one using a traditional rotorcraft original equipment manufacturer fitting methodology, one using the high-cycle fatigue (HCF) portion of a strainlife curve, and one that was fitted to S-N data with test lives out to 3×108 cycles. The spectrum life prediction using the S-N curve that properly modeled material behavior in the very high cycle fatigue regime provided a good correlation to the spectrum fatigue test data. Predictions using the other S-N curves were highly conservative.

Titanium alloys have been widely used in the structural parts of deep-sea equipment and aviation industries. In this paper, the effects of loading frequency and specimen geometry on the high cycle and very high cycle fatigue life of the high strength titanium alloy Ti-6Al-2Sn-2Zr-3Mo-X is investigated by conventional fatigue test and ultrasonic frequency fatigue test. The results indicate that ultrasonic frequency could enhance the fatigue life of the highstrength titanium alloy compared with that under conventional frequency, and the frequency effect is related to the stress amplitude. This phenomenon is explained by the heat generation in specimens and heat dissipation, in combination with the high strain rate leading to the higher yield strength in the ultrasonic fatigue test. Moreover, it is indicated that the effect of specimen geometry on the fatigue life of the highstrength titanium alloy could be evaluated from the view of control volume.
