High temperature fatigue crack propagation behaviour of Inconel 718

چکیده
The overall objective of this work has been to develop and evaluate tools for designing against fatigue in gas turbine applications, with special focus on the nickelbased superalloy Inconel 718. The fatigue crack propagation behaviour under high temperature hold times has been studied. Firstly, the main fatigue crack propagation phenomena have been investigated with the aim of setting up a basis for fatigue crack propagation modelling. Secondly, modelling of the observed behaviour has been performed. Finally, the constitutive behaviour of the material has been studied, where focus has been placed on trying to describe the mean stress relaxation and initial softening of the material under intermediate temperatures. This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part describes the general framework, including basic observed fatigue crack propagation behaviour of the material when subjected to hold times at high temperature as well as a background for the constitutive modelling of mean stress relaxation. This framework is then used in the second part, which consists of the seven included papers.

In-phase TMF crack growth testing with different lengths of the hold time at the maximum temperature of 550C has been conducted on Inconel 718 specimens. Focus has been on establishing a method for TMF crack growth testing and investigating the effect of high temperature hold times on the TMF crack growth of the material. The tests are compared to isothermal crack propagation tests and show go...

متن کاملModelling of fatigue crack propagation in Inconel 718 under hold time conditions
In this thesis an investigation and modelling of the fatigue crack propagation in the nickel based superalloy Inconel 718, with a special emphasis on the effect of hold times, is presented. The modelling work has been concentrated on describing the hold time fatigue crack propagation by using the concept of a damaged zone in front of the crack tip, which is believed to have a lowered resistance...
