✦ Synopsis

Behavior of thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) of a single crystal Ni-based superalloy, CMSX-4, was studied, compared with that of isothermal low cycle fatigue (LCF). Strain-controlled TMF and LCF tests of CMSX-4 were carried out under various test conditions, where the experimental variables were strain rates, strain ratio, temperature range, and strain/temperature phase angle. It was shown experimentally that the TMF and LCF failures took places, associated with some noteworthy characteristics which were rarely seen in the traditional polycrystalline heat-resistant alloys. They could not be explained reasonably, based on the historical approaches. A new micromechanics model was proposed to predict the TMF and LCF lives, applying the Eshelby's theory. The model enabled us to successfully estimate the characteristics in the TMF and LCF failures.

As part of the project thermo-mechanical fatigue: the route to standardisation, the behaviour of the Ni-based superalloy, Nimonic 90, has been investigated over a range of phase angles. This refers to the phase angle between non-complex strain and temperature cycles during TMF. In accordance with th

In order to develop more accurate life prediction tools, an improved understanding of the variability within the fatigue behavior of a material is required. Recent work has shown multiple failure mechanisms that drive the variability in fatigue life of polycrystalline titanium and nickel materials.
