Fatigue Crack Growth Threshold for Distributed-Small-Cracks in Hastelloy-X at High Temperature.

Mixed-mode, high-cycle fatigue-crack growth thresholds in Ti– 6Al–4V: Role of small cracks

There have been few studies to date describing fatigue-crack propagation thresholds under mixed-mode loading conditions in the presence of cracks, that are small as compared to the characteristic microstructural dimensions. To address this need, the variation in mixed-mode, high-cycle fatigue-crack growth thresholds with crack size is reported for a Ti-6Al-4V turbine blade alloy with a fine-gra...

High-Temperature Cyclic Fatigue-Crack Growth in Monolithic Ti3SiC2 Ceramics

identical slip planes) and walls or kink boundaries. Thus, in addition to regular slip, mechanisms for ambient temperature The cyclic fatigue behavior of reactive hot-pressed Ti3SiCz plastic deformation in Ti3SiCz are thought to involve the ceramics are examined at temperatures from ambient to 1200°C readjustment of local stress and strain fields from kink band with the objective of characteriz...

Plastic strain localization and fatigue micro-crack formation in Hastelloy X

In polycrystalline metals, local deformation heterogeneities induced by the microstructure influence fatigue crack initiation and micro-crack propagation. The localization in plastic strains associated with heterogeneous deformation has been described as a necessary condition and a precursor for the nucleation of fatigue cracks. However, a clear and quantitative assessment of the correlation be...

Near-threshold fatigue crack growth in bulk metallic glass composites

A major drawback in using bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) as structural materials is their extremely poor fatigue performance. One way to alleviate this problem is through the composite route, in which second phases are introduced into the glass to arrest crack growth. In this paper, the fatigue crack growth behavior of in situ reinforced BMGs with crystalline dendrites, which are tailored to impa...
