Hot section components in high-performance aircraft and rocket engines are increasingly being made of single crystal nickel superalloys such as PWA1480, PWA1484, CMSX-4, and Rene N-4 as these materials provide superior creep, stress rupture, melt resistance, and thermomechanical fatigue capabilities over their polycrystalline counterparts. Fatigue failures in PWA1480 single crystal nickel-base superalloy turbine blades used in the space shuttle main engine fuel turbopump are discussed. During testing many turbine blades experienced stage II noncrystallographic fatigue cracks with multiple origins at the core leading edge radius and extending down the airfoil span along the core surface. The longer cracks transitioned from stage II fatigue to crystallographic stage I fatigue propagation, on octahedral planes. An investigation of crack depths on the population of blades as a function of secondary crystallographic orientation (β) revealed that for β=45+/−15 deg tip cracks arrested after some growth or did not initiate at all. Finite element analysis of stress response at the blade tip, as a function of primary and secondary crystal orientation, revealed that there are preferential β orientations for which crack growth is minimized at the blade tip. To assess blade fatigue life and durability extensive testing of uniaxial single crystal specimens with different orientations has been tested over a wide temperature range in air and hydrogen. A detailed analysis of the experimentally determined low cycle fatigue properties for PWA1480 and SC 7-14-6 single crystal materials as a function of specimen crystallographic orientation is presented at high temperature (75°F–1800°F) in high-pressure hydrogen and air. Fatigue failure parameters are investigated for low cycle fatigue data of single crystal material based on the shear stress amplitudes on the 24 octahedral and 6 cube slip systems for FCC single crystals. The max shear stress amplitude [Δτmax] on the slip planes reduces the scatter in the low cycle fatigue data and is found to be a good fatigue damage parameter, especially at elevated temperatures. The parameter Δτmax did not characterize the room temperature low cycle fatigue data in high-pressure hydrogen well because of the noncrystallographic eutectic failure mechanism activated by hydrogen at room temperature. Fatigue life equations are developed for various temperature ranges and environmental conditions based on power-law curve fits of the failure parameter with low cycle fatigue test data. These curve fits can be used for assessing blade fatigue life.

Stress Asymmetry

AbstractStress response and its correlation with dislocation substructures in Ni3(Al,Zr) single crystal fatigued at room temperature have been studied. Cyclic strain hardening was found to be asymmetric and increased with increasing applied cyclic strain. Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) observation showed that there are a profusion superlattic intrinsic stacking faults (SISFs) in fatigued Ni3(Al,Zr) single crystal samples. The cyclic strain hardening and stress asymmetry are explained by the movement of the SISF.

Fatigue Characteristics

This paper presents the results of tests conducted on the HR6W (23Cr-45Ni-6W-Nb-Ti-B) alloy under low-cycle fatigue at room temperature and at 650 °C. Fatigue tests were carried out at constant values of the total strain ranges. The alloy under low-cycle fatigue showed cyclic strengthening both at room temperature and at 650 °C. The degree of HR6W strengthening described by coefficient n’ was higher at higher temperatures. At the same time, its fatigue life Nf at room temperature was, depending on the range of total strain adopted in the tests, several times higher than observed at 650 °C.

Characteristic Microstructure

In this work, the formation of fatigue cracks is considered as a nucleation process due to the development of a characteristic microstructure formed just beneath the specimen surface. Strain controlled cyclic tests were carried out at room temperature at total strain ranges εt = 0.8 and 1.2% in flat specimens of SAF 2507 Duplex Stainless Steel (DSS). The results show that for this DSS, at εt = 0.8%, the correlation between phases (Kurdjumov-Sacks crystallographic relation) plays an important role in the formation of microcracks. On the other hand, at εt = 1.2%, microcracks initiate in the ferritic phase and the K-S relation does not seem to affect the formation of the cracks.

Elastoplastic Constitutive Model

The material properties of single crystal (SC) superalloys are orientation-dependent. To fully exploit the material capacity, the life modeling needs to consider the anisotropy. In the present study the life modeling of SC nickel-base superalloys is considered by employing the modified Mücker's anisotropic theory in which a Hill type function is utilized for describing the anisotropic failure. Strain-controlled low cycle fatigue (LCF) experiments of SC nickel-base superalloys at different crystallographic orientations (i.e.[00, [01 and [11) under high temperatures (i.e.760°C) are carried out to verify the modeling availability for the modified Mücker's anisotropic theory. Further, based on the stress-strain field obtained by the anisotropic elastoplastic constitutive model coupled with the finite element method (FEM), the modified Mücker's anisotropic theory is employed to predict the fatigue life for SC flat plate with a hole.
