GH4169 at 650 °C in atmosphere was investigated by using single edge notch tensile specimens. The number of main cracks and crack initiation mechanisms at the notch surface strongly depended on the grain size. The crack initiation life accounted for more percentages of the total fatigue life for the alloy with smaller grain size. The fatigue life generally increased with increasing crack initiation life. The small crack transited to long crack when its length reached ˜10 times the grain size.  相似文献

In this paper, the small fatigue crack behavior of titanium alloy TC4 at different stress ratios was investigated. Single‐edge‐notch tension specimens were fatigued axially under a nominal maximum stress of 370 MPa at room temperature. Results indicate that fatigue cracks in TC4 initiate from the interface between α and β phases or within α phase. More than 90% of the total fatigue life is consumed in the small crack initiation and growth stages. The crack growth process of TC4 can be divided into three typical stages, ie, microstructurally small crack stage, physically small crack stage, and long crack stage. Although the stress ratio has a significant effect on the total fatigue life and crack initiation life at constant σmax, its effect on crack growth rate is indistinguishable at R = ?0.1, 0.1, and 0.3 when crack growth rate is plotted as a function of ?K.  相似文献

Effects of thermal exposure (TE) on high cycle fatigue (HCF) behaviours in Ni-based superalloy GH4169 have been investigated in this study. GH4169 specimens were thermally exposed at 650°C for 1, 2, 7, 14 and 21 days before fatigue test. These TEs produced eruptions, bulge-like features and pits at surface due to oxidation of carbides/nitrides. Fatigue life was not reduced evidently by TE as compared to the specimens in virgin conditions, indicating the insignificant influence of TE on HCF life. Fracture morphology analysis showed fatigue crack mainly initiated from oxides, crystallographic facets and subsurface inclusions. Although long TE is not necessarily related to crack initiation from oxides, crack initiation from oxides is generally associated with a shorter fatigue life.  相似文献

The kinetics of short crack growth has been studied in austenitic‐ferritic 2205 duplex stainless steel. Smooth cylindrical specimens and specimens with shallow notch were subjected to constant plastic strain amplitude loading. The crack growth was studied in notched specimens. The notch area has been mechanically and electrolytically polished to facilitate the observation of crack initiation and growth. The initiated cracks were observed in an SEM (scanning electron microscope). The crack growth was studied using long distance QUESTAR optical microscope equipped with high‐resolution camera. In constant plastic strain amplitude loading the microcracks were initiated and their growth kinetics has been studied. The characteristic features of the crack growth at different plastic strain amplitudes were recorded. Two approaches to analyse the crack growth rates were adopted. The comparison of the prediction of the fatigue life using the plastic‐strain‐dependent crack growth rate was compared with Manson–Coffin law and the relation between parameters of this law and parameters of the short crack growth law were established.  相似文献

This study evaluates the influence of residual stresses induced by the fabrication of surface anomalies on the fatigue crack growth in a nickel based superalloy. To separate the notch effect of the geometry from the residual stress field induced by fabrication of the surface flaws, two V-type anomalies are considered: scratches and dents with equivalent morphology and size. A specially designed heat treatment has been used to reduce the magnitude of residual stresses around these anomalies in order to highlight their effects on the different stages of the crack propagation, under low cycle fatigue conditions at 400 °C. The crack initiation life is short for both anomalies but in the presence of compressive residual stresses, a decrease of the fatigue crack growth rate has been observed during the first stages of the crack propagation. Furthermore, the results showed that without residual stresses, scratches and dents exhibit the same behaviour. Thus, the residual stress field below surface anomalies is the main parameter controlling the fatigue life from surface anomalies.  相似文献

Prediction model for the growth rates of short cracks based on Kmax‐constant tests with M(T) specimens The fatigue crack growth behaviour of short corner cracks in the Aluminium alloys Al 6013‐T6 and Al 2524‐T351 was investigated. The aim was to determine the crack growth rates of small corner cracks at stress ratios of R = 0.1, R = 0.7 and R = 0.8 and to develop a method to predict these crack growth rates from fatigue crack growth curves determined for long cracks. Corner cracks were introduced into short crack specimens, similar to M(T)‐specimens, at one side of a hole (Ø = 4.8 mm) by cyclic compression (R = 20). The pre‐cracks were smaller than 100 μm (notch + precrack). A completely new method was used to cut very small notches (10–50 μm) into the specimens with a Focussed Ion Beam. The results of the fatigue crack growth tests with short corner cracks were compared with long fatigue crack growth test data. The short cracks grew at ΔK‐values below the threshold for long cracks at the same stress ratio. They also grew faster than long cracks at the same ΔK‐values and the same stress ratios. A model was developed on the basis of Kmax‐constant tests with long cracks that gives a good and conservative prediction of the short crack growth rates.  相似文献

The small crack effect was investigated in two high-strength aluminium alloys: 7075-T6 bare and LC9cs clad alloy. Both experimental and analytical investigations were conducted to study crack initiation and growth of small cracks. In the experimental program, fatigue tests, small crack and large crack tests were conducted under constant amplitude and Mini-TWIST spectrum loading conditions. A pronounced small crack effect was observed in both materials, especially for the negative stress ratios. For all loading conditions, most of the fatigue life of the SENT specimens was shown to be crack propagation from initial material defects or from the cladding layer. In the analysis program, three-dimensional finite element and weight function methods were used to determine stress intensity factors and to develop SIF equations for surface and corner cracks at the notch in the SENT specimens. A plasticity-induced crack-closure model was used to correlate small and large crack data, and to make fatigue life predictions. Predicted crack-growth rates and fatigue lives agreed well with experiments. A total fatigue life prediction method for the aluminium alloys was developed and demonstrated using the crack-closure model.  相似文献

This paper is aimed at evaluating the behaviour of small cracks emanating from notches in the Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy. Pulsating four point bending tests were performed at a nominal stress ratio of 0.1 and a frequency of 15 Hz on prismatic specimens with a central hole. The conditions of initiation and early propagation of fatigue cracks were investigated at two relatively high nominal stress levels corresponding to 56.6 and 100% of the 0.2% yield stress of the material. Microstructural effects were discussed. To this purpose a specific device based on the ‘in situ’ detection of cracks by photomicroscopy was developed. Corresponding results were analysed quantitatively considering the effect of the yielded region at the notch tip by elastic–plastic finite element modelling. Furthermore, information regarding the sites of fatigue crack initiation and propagation path were discussed on the basis of careful fractographic analysis of the specimens. The importance of the two phase α, β microstructure on the material damage was highlighted and correlated to the observed oscillations in the crack growth rate. Mechanically and microstructurally long cracks were correlated by linear‐elastic fracture mechanics.  相似文献

In order to investigate the effects of stress concentration on low cycle fatigue properties and fracture behaviour of a nickel‐based powder metallurgy superalloy, FGH97, at elevated temperature, the low cycle fatigue tests have been conducted with semi‐circular and semi‐elliptical single‐edge notched plate specimens at 550 and 700 °C. The results show that the fatigue life of the notched specimen decreases with the increase of stress concentration factor and the fatigue crack initiation life evidently decreases because of the defect located in the stress concentration zone. Moreover, the plastic deformation induced by notch stress concentration affects the initial crack occurrence zone. The angle α of the crack occurrence zone is within ±10° of notch bisector for semi‐circular notched specimens and ±20° for semi‐elliptical notched specimens. The crack propagation rate decreases to a minimum at a certain length, D, and then increases with the growth of the crack. The crack propagation rate of the semi‐elliptical notched specimen decelerates at a faster rate than that of the semi‐circular notched specimen because of the increase of the notch plasticity gradient. The crack length, D, is affected by both the applied load and the notch plasticity gradient. In addition, the fracture mechanism is shown to transition from transgranular to intergranular as temperature increases from 550 to 700 °C, which would accelerate crack propagation and reduce the fatigue life.  相似文献

This paper is aimed at evaluating the influence of bi‐modal and lamellar microstructures on the behaviour of small cracks emanating from notches in α+β titanium Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy. Pulsating four point bending tests were performed at a nominal stress ratio of 0.1 and a frequency of 15 Hz on double‐edge‐notched specimens. The conditions of initiation and early propagation of fatigue cracks were investigated at two relatively high nominal stress levels corresponding to 88 and 58% of the 0.2% material yield stress. Crack closure effects were measured by an extensometric technique and discussed. Variations in crack aspect ratio were determined and considered in the ΔK calculation. Corresponding results were discussed by considering the effect of the yielded region at the notch tip calculated by elastic–plastic finite element modelling of the fatigue tests. The importance of the bi‐modal and lamellar microstructures on the material damage was highlighted and correlated to the observed oscillations in the crack growth rate. The crack growth rate data obtained were compared with those measured using standard C(T) specimens (long crack).  相似文献

An approach based on the local stress response is proposed to locate the fatigue critical point for metallic blunt notched specimens under multiaxial fatigue loading. According to the stress analysis, both stress gradient and gradient of loading nonproportionality exist at notch root. The plane in the vicinity of the notch that passes through the fatigue critical point and experiences the maximum shear stress amplitude is defined as the critical plane for notch specimens (CPN). Furthermore, the Susmel's fatigue damage parameter is modified to assess fatigue life of notched components by combining CPN and the theory of critical distance (TCD). The multiaxial fatigue test of the thin‐walled round tube specimens made of Ni‐base alloy GH4169 is carried out to verify the above approaches. In addition, test data of two kinds of materials are collected. The results show that the maximum absolute error of the fatigue critical point is 9.6° and the majority of the predicted life falls within the three‐time scatter band.  相似文献

Fatigue crack growth behaviours of the titanium alloy Ti‐6Al‐4V, with two different microstructures, at different maximum stresses were identified by digital image correlation technique. Full‐field strains were monitored around fatigue cracks after consecutive cycles in fatigue crack growth experiments. Results indicated that the Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy with a bi‐modal microstructure had a better fatigue resistance than that with a primary‐α microstructure. Typical behaviours of small cracks and the evolution of multi‐scale fatigue cracks were clarified. The strain accumulations around the micro‐notch and fatigue crack increased with increasing number of load cycles. On the basis of von Mises strain mapping, it was found that crack growth rate could be characterized by crack‐tip plastic zone size.  相似文献

A review is made of efforts at the National Aerospace Laboratories in the development of fatigue crack growth prediction technology for airframe applications. The research was focused on extension of rainflow techniques for crack growth analysis and development of accelerated crack growth calculation methods for spectrum loading. Fatigue crack closure forms a crucial element of modelling and fractographic techniques were developed for its study. These, combined with binary coded event registration enabled crack growth and closure mapping for part-through cracks in metallic materials. Experimental research on short cracks at notches led to discovery of the hysteretic nature of crack closure, which explains well-known history-sensitive local mean stress effects in notch root fatigue. Optical fractography of failures obtained under simulated service conditions revealed that short cracks do not exhibit any more scatter than long cracks at comparable growth rates. The nature of multi-site crack initiation and growth of small cracks at notches was investigated and the effort extended to lug joints that are widely used in airframe applications. Results from this work suggest the possibility of modelling crack growth from a size smaller than 50 microns through to failure, thereby accounting for a major fraction of total life. The work described in this paper enjoyed the strong support of Dr S R Valluri, Prof R Narasimha and Dr K N Raju. Financial support for the effort was provided by Aeronautical Research & Development Board, Aeronautical Development Agency and Department of Science and Technology.  相似文献

Two methods based on local stress responses are proposed to locate fatigue critical point of metallic notched components under non‐proportional loading. The points on the notch edge maintain a state of uniaxial stress even when the far‐field fatigue loading is multiaxial. The point bearing the maximum stress amplitude is recognized as fatigue critical point under the condition of non‐mean stress; otherwise, the Goodman's empirical formula is adopted to amend mean stress effect prior to the determination of fatigue critical point. Furthermore, the uniaxial stress state can be treated as a special multiaxial stress state. The Susmel's fatigue damage parameter is employed to evaluate the fatigue damage of these points on the notch edge. Multiaxial fatigue tests on thin‐walled round tube notched specimens made of GH4169 nickel‐base alloy and 2297 aluminium‐lithium alloy are carried out to verify the two methods. The prediction results show that both the stress amplitude method and the Susmel's parameter method can accurately locate the fatigue critical point of metallic notched components under multiaxial fatigue loading.  相似文献

The present paper is aimed at investigating the behaviour of fatigue cracks emanating from edge-notches for two different microstructures of the Ti-6246 alloy, produced by two specific thermo-mechanical treatments and defined as β-annealed and β-processed, respectively. Pulsating four point bending tests were performed on double-edge-notched specimens. The initiation and early propagation of fatigue cracks were investigated at two relatively high nominal stress levels corresponding to 88 and 58% of the 0.2% material’s yield stress. Plastic deformation at the notch tip initially produced a local stress redistribution followed by elastic shake down due to the high cyclic strain hardening rates exhibited by both microstructures, as confirmed by finite element modelling. Crack closure effects, measured by an extensometric technique, and variations in crack aspect ratio were considered in the ΔK calculation. The obtained crack growth rate data were compared with those of long cracks measured on standard C(T) specimens as well as of microcracks measured on round, unnotched S-N type of specimens to evaluate the intrinsic fatigue crack propagation resistance of the two microstructures. The contribution of notch plasticization to crack closure was estimated by finite element modelling.  相似文献

The fatigue crack growth behaviour of a nickel base superalloy, Waspaloy, has been studied using four point bending specimens in laboratory air. Two groups of tests, for which the span/width ratios were 1 and 2.5, were conducted and the results compared. Surface crack lengths were measured from plastic replicas of the surface. Equations which describe both short and long cracks have been derived and used to predict the fatigue life for the Waspaloy specimens. From plastic replication studies and scanning electron microscope examinations, a physical understanding of the relationship between crack growth and microstructural features was enhanced.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Both experimental and analytical investigations were conducted to study crack initiation and growth of small cracks, near‐threshold growth behavior of large cracks at constant R‐ratio/decreasing ΔK and constant Kmax/decreasing ΔK, respectively, for 9310 steel. The results showed that a pronounced small‐crack effect was not observed even at R = ?1, small cracks initiated by a slip mechanism at strong slip sites. Worst‐case near‐threshold testing results for large cracks under several Kmax values showed that an effect of Kmax on the near‐threshold behavior does not exist in the present investigation. A worst‐case near‐threshold test for a large crack, i.e. constant Kmax/decreasing ΔK test, can give a conservative prediction of growth behavior of naturally initiated small cracks. Using the worst‐case near‐threshold data for a large crack and crack‐tip constraint factor equations defined in the paper, Newman's total fatigue‐life prediction method was improved. The fatigue lives predicted by the improved method were in reasonable agreement with the experiments. A three‐dimensional (3D) weight function method was used to calculate stress‐intensity factors for a surface crack at a notch of the present SENT specimen (with r/w = 1/8) by using a finite‐element reference solution. The results were verified by limited finite‐element solutions, and agreed well with those calculated by Newman's stress‐intensity factor equations when the stress concentration factor of the present specimen was used in the equations.  相似文献

Selective laser melting (SLM) was used to prepare notched high‐cycle fatigue test specimens made from nickel‐based superalloy Inconel 718. Samples were designed to have 1 of 3 different notch geometries, including V notches with Kt of 2.2 or 3.1, a U notch with Kt of 2.0, and were printed in either vertical or horizontal orientations. Samples were tested with as‐printed dimensions and surfaces after heat treatment, but a separate set of SLM samples were printed as plates and machined to final dimensions comporting to the V‐notch specimen with Kt = 3.1. High‐cycle fatigue testing showed that machined SLM specimens behaved similar to wrought Inconel 718 plate specimens, but testing with as‐produced surfaces led to a decrease in fatigue life. The explanation for this difference is based on approximations of linear elastic fracture mechanics solutions for short cracks emanating from notch roots, with intrinsic surface features of SLM materials serving as the cracks. Analysis of the actual notch geometries after SLM fabrication indicates that stress intensity in the presence of these features plays a prominent role in determining number of cycles before fatigue crack initiation and propagation occurs.  相似文献
