Evaluation of Fatigue Crack Initiation in a Notched Single-crystal Superalloy Component
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fatigue crack initiation in a notched single-crystal nickel-base superalloy component at 500°C was investigated and analysed. A critical plane approach in combination with a critical distance method has been adopted, in which the total shear strain ranges on the discrete slip planes are evaluated. Furthermore, a Coffin-Manson type of expression is used to predict the number of cycles to fatigue crack initiation. The experimental test specimens were studied by microscopy to determine on which crystallographic plane the fatigue initiation occurred. A good correlation between the experimental results and the simulated results were found. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Selection and peer-review under responsibility of ICM11

Fatigue crack initiation in a notched single-crystal superalloy component
In this paper, the fatigue crack initiation in notched single-crystal test specimens of material MD2 is investigated and analysed. A critical plane approach is adopted, in which the total strain ranges on the discrete slip planes are evaluated. Furthermore, a Coffin-Manson type of expression is used to describe the number of cycles to fatigue crack initiation. This relation is determined from a...

متن کاملModelling of TMF Crack Initiation in Smooth Single-Crystal Superalloy Specimens
In this paper the TMF crack initiation behaviour of the single-crystal nickel-base superalloy MD2 is investigated and modelled. TMF tests were performed in both IP and OP for varying mechanical strain ranges in the [001] crystallographic direction until TMF crack initiation was obtained. A crystal plasticity-creep model was used in conjunction with a critical-plane approach, to evaluate the num...

متن کاملEffects of microstructures on fatigue crack initiation and short crack propagation at room temperature in an advanced disc superalloy
Fatigue crack initiation and early short crack propagation behaviour in two microstructural variants of a recently developed Low Solvus, High Refractory (LSHR) disc superalloy at room temperature has been investigated by three-point bending with replication procedure. The results shows that fine gained (FG) LSHR possesses higher fatigue life due to its better crack initiation resistance, limite...
