This paper presents the high-temperature low-cycle fatigue (HTLCF) behavior of a precipitate strengthened 9Cr martensitic steel, MarBN, designed to provide enhanced creep strength and precipitate stability at high temperature. The strain-controlled test program addresses the cyclic effects of strain-rate and strain-range at 600 °C, as well as tensile stress-relaxation response. A recently developed unified cyclic viscoplastic material model is implemented to characterize the complex cyclic and relaxation plasticity response, including cyclic softening and kinematic hardening effects. The measured response is compared to that of P91 steel, a current power plant material, and shows enhanced cyclic strength relative to P91.

Non-linear stress analysis for high temperature cyclic viscoplasticity is increasingly becoming an important modeling framework for many industries. Simplified analyses are found to be insufficient in accurately predicting the life of components; such as a gas turbine engine of an airplane or the intermediate-heat exchanger of a nuclear power plant. As a result, advanced material models for simulating nonlinear responses at room to high temperature are developed and experimentally validated against a broad set of low-cycle fatigue responses; such as creep, fatigue, and their interactions under uniaxial stress states. . This study will evaluate a unified viscoplastic model based on nonlinear kinematic hardening (Chaboche type) with several added features of strain-range-dependence, rate-dependence, temperature-dependence, static recovery, and mean-stress-evolution for Haynes 230database. Simulation-based model development for isothermal creep-fatigue responses are all critically evaluated for the developed model. The robustness of the constitutive model is demonstrated and weaknesses of the model to accurately predict low-cycle fatigue responses are identified. Paper published with permission.

The effect of strain range and temperature on the low-cycle fatigue behaviour and microstructure change during cyclic deformation of Alloy 617 for use in very high temperature gas-cooled reactor components were studied at elevated temperature starting from ambient condition. Increasing the strain range and the temperature was noticed to reduce the fatigue resistance of nickel-based Alloy 617 due to facilitating the transformation behavior of the carbides in the grain interior, precipitates along the grain boundary, and oxidation behavior inducing surface connected precipitates cracking. Initial hardening behavior was observed at room temperature condition during cyclic due to the pile-up dislocation of micro-precipitates. The grain size was also taking a role due to the formation of an obstacle in the matrix. In the high temperature regime, the alloy 617 was found to soften for its entire life due to the fast recovery deformation, proved by its higher plasticity compared with lower temperature. The deformation behavior also showing high environmentally assisted damage. Oxidation behavior was found to become the primary crack initiation, resulting in early intergranular surface cracking.

This article is concerned with the high temperature low cycle fatigue behaviour of a new nano-strengthened martensitic-ferritic steel, MarBN. A range of strain-controlled, low cycle fatigue tests are presented on MarBN at 600 ℃ and 650 ℃, and compared with previously published data for a current state-of-the-art material, P91 steel, including microstructural analysis of the fracture mechanisms. A modified Chaboche damage law, incorporating Coffin–Manson life prediction, is implemented within a hyperbolic sine unified cyclic viscoplastic constitutive model. Calibration and validation of the model with respect to the effects of strain-rate and strain-range is performed based on an optimisation procedure for identification of the material parameters. The cyclic viscoplasticity model with damage successfully predicts fatigue damage evolution and life in the cyclically softening materials, MarBN and P91.

The high temperature & low cycle fatigue were experimentally studied with the 3-dimension notched 2.25Cr—1Mo steel specimens. The 3-dimension stress-strain responses of specimens were calculated by means of the program ADINA. The prediction method of 3-dimension fatigue life was discussed according to the theory of high temperature strength. The results of experiments and calculations showed that the equivalent strain range can be served as the valid mechanics for predicting fatigue life.
