TC21合金315℃高周疲劳光滑和缺口试样断口分析

开展了TC21研究合金光滑和缺口试样的315℃高周疲劳实验,并对疲劳断口进行详细观察,研究了缺口对TC21合金疲劳寿命的影响.结果表明,光滑和缺口试样的疲劳强度比值随循环寿命降低而降低;光滑试样的失稳疲劳裂纹长度随循环应力升高而降低;瞬断区所承受的断裂应力随循环应力升高而降低;这说明裂纹失稳决定试样的断裂,缺口试样断口有多个裂纹源,以缺口试样名义应力乘以应力集中因子与光滑试样的应力相等作为比较时,缺口试样主裂纹长度大于光滑试样的裂纹长度,缺口试样的裂纹扩展寿命更长.     

再结晶对DD6单晶高温合金轴向高周疲劳性能的影响

为了研究再结晶对二代单晶高温合金DD6高周疲劳性能的影响,对标准热处理的DD6合金进行表面吹砂处理,然后分别在1120℃和1315℃保温4h,以获得不同类型的再结晶组织。在疲劳试验机上分别测试了光滑和含再结晶的DD6合金试样在1070℃的轴向高周疲劳寿命。采用SEM观察DD6合金再结晶组织及疲劳断口。结果表明:胞状再结晶和等轴再结晶降低了DD6合金的轴向高周疲劳性能,胞状再结晶作用小于等轴再结晶;含再结晶的DD6合金试样的轴向高周疲劳断裂机制为类解理断裂和枝晶间的局部韧窝断裂共存的混合断裂;再结晶使DD6合金试样变为多源疲劳断裂。高温条件下,再结晶晶界的存在加快合金试样的氧化损伤,显著缩短早期疲劳裂纹的萌生和扩展时间,降低合金的轴向高周疲劳性能。     

缺口对7A85铝合金拉伸性能和疲劳性能的影响

在光滑试样表面预制深度为0.1 mm和0.2 mm的环状缺口，研究了不同缺口尺寸对7A85铝合金拉伸性能和疲劳性能的影响，并分析了7A85铝合金含缺口试样的疲劳断裂机理。结果表明，随着缺口深度由0 mm增加至0.2 mm, 7A85铝合金试样的抗拉强度、断后伸长率和疲劳强度分别下降了6%、47.5%、44.4%。缺口对7A85铝合金塑性的影响远大于拉伸强度，且其抗拉强度与疲劳强度呈线性关系。试样疲劳缺口系数随着缺口尺寸和循环次数的增加而增大。7A85铝合金试样的疲劳裂纹源通常是富铁的第二相颗粒，环状缺口根部应力集中促进了多疲劳裂纹源萌生，多个裂纹源同时扩展使得试样有效承载面积快速减少，导致疲劳寿命急剧缩短。     

石油钻杆材料G105在不同条件下的疲劳断裂

采用国产PQ-6型旋转弯曲疲劳试验机研究钻杆管体材料G105的弯曲疲劳性能以及H_2S腐蚀和缺口对试样弯曲疲劳性能的影响,利用金相显微镜和扫描电子显微镜对光滑试样断口、缺口试样断口以及H_2S腐蚀后试样断口进行微观形貌分析。结果表明:在光滑试样的疲劳极限载荷作用下,经过H_2S腐蚀后的光滑试样的疲劳寿命和缺口试样的疲劳寿命相当,材料的疲劳寿命都从106降低至104;缺口试样在缺口的高应力集中效应下,加快疲劳裂纹形核过程。H_2S腐蚀对钻杆疲劳性能影响的主要作用在于氢原子在材料内缺陷处聚集引起材料疲劳性能降低,缺口和H_2S腐蚀都会加快疲劳裂纹的扩展。材料疲劳断裂主要是因为试样在交变应力的作用下上产生滑移最后致使位错塞积而导致的。     

平均应力对低碳钢低周冲击疲劳强度的影响

作为对海浪引起的随机载荷下船舶结构部件的冲击疲劳的基础研究,对平均应力对低碳钢冲击疲劳强度的影响进行了试验性研究。在系统地改变应力比的交变轴向载荷条件下,对四种具有应力集中系数K_t=1～4.7的圆棒进行了低周冲击疲劳试验。还对这些同样试样进行了普通疲劳试验,以便与上述试验结果进行比较。试验结果归纳如下: (1)光滑试样的断裂过程是蠕变型的,而具有大K_t值的缺口试样的断裂是开裂型的,与应力比R(最小应力■与最大应力■之比)无关。具有小K_t值的试样的断裂随应力大小和应力比的不同而不同。 (2)在蠕变型情况下,永久变形速率■和断裂循环数N_f之间的关系与R无关,但应力幅度■(=(■(1-R)/2)和N_f之间的关系明显地取决于R。在其它情况下,■和裂纹发生循环数N_c以及断裂循环数N也明显取决于R。 (3)由上述结果可以发现,除具有很大K_t值的缺口试样以外,对每种试样应力幅度■和平均应力■之间关系都可写成如下形式:式中:■应力比R=-O.8的应力幅度;■:每种试样的最大应力 (4)由普通疲劳试验获得的疲劳性状几乎和由冲击疲劳试验获得的疲劳性状相同,但应力比对疲劳性状的影响程度低于冲击疲劳试验的情形。

缺口应力集中系数对TC4 ELI合金低周疲劳性能的影响

研究了缺口应力集中系数不同的深海潜水器耐压壳用TC4 ELI(Extra-low-interstitial)合金板材在恒总应变幅控制下的低周疲劳行为。结果表明,在应变幅较低(0.7%以下)和应变幅较高(0.8%和0.9%)条件下的光滑试样在循环初期分别发生了循环硬化和循环软化,而缺口试样在0.2%～0.7%应变幅条件下的循环初期均发生了循环硬化。通过循环载荷作用下材料滞回能的变化描述了TC4 ELI合金试样低周疲劳的损伤程度,得到了缺口应力集中系数与低周疲劳性能参数之间的关系,建立了相对裂纹萌生寿命预测模型。利用该模型能较好地预测缺口应力集中系数较低的TC4 ELI合金在高应变幅条件下的相对疲劳裂纹萌生寿命。

Low cycle fatigue modeling for nickel-based single crystal superalloy

The low cycle fatigue (LCF) characteristics of nickel-based single crystal (SC) superalloy have been experimentally and numerically investigated. The effects of crystallographic orientation, load ratio and stress concentration are studied. In order to model the effect of crystallographic orientation, a new orientation factor, which is relevant to the yield strength, is constructed. On the other hand, a new asymmetrical loading factor is introduced to describe the effect of load ratio. The LCF model for SC superalloy smooth specimen is established with these new damage parameters. The effect of the strain gradient on the LCF life of SC superalloy is further studied, which is applied to the evaluation of the LCF life of SC superalloy notched specimen. The LCF model proposed is validated by the experimental data of SC superalloy DD3 and PWA1480.     

Influence of nanometre-sized notch and water on the fracture behaviour of single crystal silicon microelements

The influence of a notch and a water environment on the quasi‐static and fatigue fracture behaviour was investigated in single crystal silicon microelements. The tests were conducted in smooth and notched microcantilever beam samples. Smooth specimens were prepared by micromachining (photo‐etching) of (110) silicon wafers. For some specimens, a nanometre‐sized notch was machined 100 μm away from the sample root by using a focused ion beam system. A machining condition was optimized, and the V‐shaped notch was successfully introduced. The radius of curvature of the notch, measured by an atomic force microscope (AFM), decreased with an increase in notch depth, and ranged from about 20 to 100 nm. Single‐crystal Si microelements deformed elastically until final failure, which was of a brittle nature. The maximum fracture strength of a smooth microcantilever specimen reached about 7.7 GPa, which was higher than that obtained in millimetre‐sized single crystal Si samples. However, the fracture strength decreased with an increase in notch depth, even though the notch depth was of the order of a nanometre. This means that a nanometre deep notch, which is often regarded as surface roughness in ordinary‐sized mechanical components, caused a decrease in the fracture strength of Si microelements. The fracture initiated at the notch, and then the {111} crack propagated in the direction normal to the sample surface. Fatigue tests were also conducted in laboratory air and in pure water at a stress cycle frequency of 0.1 Hz and a stress ratio of 0.1. In laboratory air, no fatigue damage was observed even though the surface was nanoscopically examined by an AFM. However, when the fatigue tests were conducted in pure water, the fatigue lives in water were decreased. Crack formation on the {111} plane was promoted by a synergistic effect of the dynamic loading and the water environment. Atomic force microscopy was capable of imaging the nanoscopic cracks, which caused failure in water.     

Investigation on low cycle fatigue of nickel‐based single crystal turbine blade in different regions

Low cycle fatigue experiments of nickel‐based single crystal superalloy miniature specimens were carried out at 760 °C/1000 MPa and 980 °C/750 MPa. According to testing results, low cycle fatigue life is dependent on sampling position of turbine blade under same test conditions. Fracture surface morphology and longitudinal profile microstructure indicated that the fracture mechanism transformed from cleavage fracture to ductile fracture with the changing of medium temperature to high temperature due to the particle cutting at yield stress intensity. The scanning electron microscopy observation of original material demonstrated that the smaller precipitate size of samples have a shorter fatigue life. Meanwhile, the constitutive model considering size effect was built based on the crystal plastic theory. The finite element analysis demonstrated that the smaller precipitate size could dramatically reduce the plastic deformation suffering the same cycle loading.     

Rotary bending high-cycle fatigue behavior of DD32 single crystal superalloy containing rhenium

Smooth and notched specimens of single crystal superalloy DD32 were subjected to rotary bending high-cycle fatigue (HCF) loading at different temperatures. The experimental results demonstrate that fatigue strengths of the smooth and notched specimens reach the maxima and the minimum notch sensitivity displays at 760 °C. DD32 alloy exhibits excellent HCF properties compared to SRR99 alloy under the same test condition. As for the smooth specimens, slip bands moving through γ and γ′ phases as well as dislocation bowing are the main deformation modes. As for the notched specimens, the deformations are carried out by dislocation loop bowing and shearing of PSBs mode at intermediate temperatures; at 900 °C, the minimum fatigue strength results from dislocation climbing deformation and the degradation of γ′ precipitates. The fine secondary γ′ precipitates advantage the recovery of dislocations and further deformation of the fatigue specimens.     

第一代单晶高温合金中温高应力幅下的疲劳裂纹萌生行为

通过应力控制的疲劳实验探究第一代镍基单晶高温合金DD413在中温(760℃)高应力幅下的疲劳裂纹萌生行为,并使用扫描电子显微镜观察和表征了疲劳样品的断口形貌和纵截面的显微组织。结果表明：在高应力幅条件下,疲劳裂纹主要萌生于表面开裂的块状碳化物和次表面开裂的骨架状碳化物。在疲劳过程中,氧化和循环加载的共同作用使样品表面的碳化物都发生了开裂。在样品的次表面,只有位于表面微裂纹扩展路径上的碳化物发生开裂,其原因也与氧化和循环加载有关。样品表面产生的微裂纹,是次表面碳化物发生氧化所需氧气的运输通道。在疲劳的早期阶段碳化物即发生开裂并产生微裂纹,最终使样品发生疲劳断裂。     

气膜孔分布对DD6单晶高温合金高周疲劳断裂行为的影响

利用带不同电液束加工气膜孔分布的DD6单晶气冷叶片模拟试样,研究其在常温下的高周疲劳性能,并对试样断口及断口侧面形貌进行宏观与微观观察。结果表明:在相同的实验条件下,气膜孔的存在对试样高周疲劳寿命的影响较大,无孔试样的平均寿命约为带3排孔试样的4倍,但是气膜孔布局对疲劳寿命的影响相对较小。通过断口宏观与微观观察发现,无孔试样呈线源特征,而1~3排孔试样裂纹均从气膜孔附近起源,呈多源特征。根据断口和晶体学理论推测,对于无孔、1排孔和多排孔试样的中间部位,裂纹沿{001}滑移面扩展;而对于多排孔试样的上下2排孔孔周的裂纹沿{111}滑移面扩展。采用有限元方法分析4种不同试样孔边应力场的分布规律,数值模拟分析结果与试样的断裂位置及形貌吻合。     

Low‐cycle fatigue/high‐cycle fatigue interactions in notched Ti‐6Al‐4V*

Combined low‐cycle fatigue/high‐cycle fatigue (LCF/HCF) loadings were investigated for smooth and circumferentially V‐notched cylindrical Ti–6Al–4V fatigue specimens. Smooth specimens were first cycled under LCF loading conditions for a fraction of the previously established fatigue life. The HCF 10⁷ cycle fatigue limit stress after LCF cycling was established using a step loading technique. Specimens with two notch sizes, both having elastic stress concentration factors of K_t = 2.7, were cycled under LCF loading conditions at a nominal stress ratio of R = 0.1. The subsequent 10⁶ cycle HCF fatigue limit stress at both R = 0.1 and 0.8 was determined. The combined loading LCF/HCF fatigue limit stresses for all specimens were compared to the baseline HCF fatigue limit stresses. After LCF cycling and prior to HCF cycling, the notched specimens were heat tinted, and final fracture surfaces examined for cracks formed during the initial LCF loading. Fatigue test results indicate that the LCF loading, applied for 75% of total LCF life for the smooth specimens and 25% for the notched specimens, resulted in only small reductions in the subsequent HCF fatigue limit stress. Under certain loading conditions, plasticity‐induced stress redistribution at the notch root during LCF cycling appears responsible for an observed increase in HCF fatigue limit stress, in terms of net section stress.     

The effect of frequency on the giga‐cycle fatigue properties of a Ti–6Al–4V alloy

The effect of frequency on giga‐cycle fatigue properties was investigated in smooth and 0.3 mm‐hole‐notched specimens at three heats (Heats A, B, and C) for a 900 MPa‐class Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy. Fatigue tests were performed at frequencies of 120 Hz, 600 Hz, and 20 kHz using electromagnetic resonance, high‐speed servohydraulic, and ultrasonic fatigue testing machines, respectively. Heats A and B developed internal fractures, and in these cases, frequency effects were negligible. On the other hand, Heat C developed only surface fractures. In this case, high‐frequency tests showed a higher fatigue strength, indicating frequency effects were not negligible. The tests using the notched specimens showed almost no frequency effects regardless of the heat. The frequency effects observed in the cases of surface fracture were believed to be related to a delay in local plastic deformation in response to high‐frequency loading, since temperature increases in these specimens were successfully suppressed. The delay in the plastic deformation was observed to be reduced in the notched specimens because of stress concentration and limitation in the plastic deformation zone. In turn, the significant conclusion of this research is that high‐frequency tests can be applied not only to internal fractures but also to notch problems, but are not applicable to surface fractures of smooth specimens.     

近[001]取向DD6单晶高温合金980℃/250MPa持久性能各向异性研究

通过不同取向DD6单晶高温合金980℃/250MPa持久测试,研究了取向对980℃持久性能的影响。结果表明:[001]取向偏离主应力轴15°以内,DD6单晶高温合金980℃/250MPa持久寿命相当,没有各向异性。这主要是由于近[001]取向DD6单晶高温合金多个〈110〉{111}滑移系共同作用的结果。同时,原子扩散造成的γ′筏排和γ/γ′相界面形成的位错网也降低持久性能各向异性。
