✦ Synopsis
AbstractFatigue crack growth rate data were developed at various frequencies and hold times at maximum load for A470 Class 8 steel at 538'C (lack by using an accelerated test method which involves alternating test frequency and tem~rature. These data were consistent with fatigue crack growth rate data obtained from the same material and developed according to the ASTM specification E-647"T78. This result suggests that there is no transient effect associated with the alternating test frequency and temperature and that the accelerated testing procedure can be used to expedite the development of elevated temperature fatigue crack growth rate data at very low frequencies and long hold times. At 538°C (1000°F) fatigue crack growth properties with hold time developed from both IT-CT and multiple-edge-crack tension specimens fall in the same scatter band on the da/dNos AK plot. This result indicates the applicability of AK to characterize the fatigue crack growth behavior with hold time at elevated ~mpera~re. Also, the model proposed by Saxena et al. was found to successfully predict the fatigue crack growth rate properties with 28 min hold time of the A470 Class 8 rotor steel at 538°C (1ooo"F).
