Microcrack Evolution of Ni-Based Superalloy GH4169 under Low-Cycle Fatigue Loading Condition at 650 °C
摘要
Through investigating the low-cycle fatigue behavior and damage mechanism of the GH4169 superalloy at elevated temperature, a continuous cyclic softening response can be observed. Failure analysis indicated that the crack initiation sites on sample surfaces had a considerable difference due to the different types of inclusions. Moreover, the crack propagation is jointly influenced by slip bands and inclusions. Based on the growth evolution of microcracks, a damage concept process for causing the fatigue failure of the GH4169 superalloy was proposed.
