The effect of heat treatment on the JIC fracture toughness behavior of Alloy 718 was characterized at room temperature, 427°C and 538°C. Two different heat treatments were used: the conventional (ASTM A637) treatment, and a modified heat treatment designed to improve the toughness of Alloy 718 base metal and weldments. The elastic-plastic JIC fracture toughness response of the modified Alloy 718 was found to be superior to the JIC behavior exhibited by the conventional material over the entire test temperature range. Metallographic and fractographic examinations of Alloy 718 fracture surfaces revealed that the inferior fracture resistance of the conventional superalloy was attributed to the presence of coarse δ precipitates throughout the conventional matrix. The increased fracture toughness response of the modified Alloy 718 was related to the dissolution of coarse δ precipitates during the high temperature solution anneal employed in the modified treatment.

The Nb-24Ti-12Si-14Cr-2Al-2Hf-0.1Y (at.%) alloys were fabricated by directional solidification with selected withdrawal rate 1.2 and 18 mm/min, followed by a heat treatment at 1375 °C for 10 h. The microstructure of directional solidified samples were composed of NbSS, Cr2Nb and eutectics (NbSS+Nb5Si3), aligning with the growth direction. After heat treatment, the NbSS in the eutectic structures and NbSS dendrites were connected to form the matrix, and the silicide and Cr2Nb tended to spheroidize. The sample prepared by higher withdrawal rate plus heat treament shows higher average KQ values. The results suggested that the Nb-Si based alloy showed higher room-temperature fracture toughness when the microstructure consists of continuous NbSS distributed with finer Nb5Si3 and Cr2Nb.

Heat-to-heat and product-form variations in the JIC fracture toughness for Alloy 718 were characterized at 24, 427, and 538°C using the multiple-specimen JR-curve method. Six different material heats along with three product forms from one of the heats were tested in the modified heat treated condition. This heat treatment was developed at Idaho National Engineering Laboratory to improve the impact toughness for Alloy 718 weldments, but it has also been found to enhance the fracture resistance for the base metal. Statistical analysis of test results revealed four distinguishable JIC levels with mean toughness levels ranging from 87 to 190 kJ/m2 at 24°C. At 538°C, JIC values were 15 to 20 percent lower than room temperature toughness levels. Minimum expected values of JIC (ranging from 72 kJ/m2 at 24°C to 48 kJ/m2 at 538°C) and dJR/da (27 MPa at 24 to 538°C) were established based on tolerance intervals bracketing 90 percent of the lowest JIC and dJR/da populations at a 95 percent confidence level. Metallographic and fractographic examinations were performed to relate key microstructural features and operative fracture mechanisms to macroscopic properties.

The elastic-plastic fracture toughness (JIc) response of precipitation strengthened Alloy A-286 has been evaluated by the multi-specimen R-curve technique at room temperature, 700 K (800°F) and 811 K (1000°F). The fracture toughness of this iron-base superalloy was found to decrease with increasing temperature. This phenomenon was attributed to a reduction in the materials’s strength and ductility at elevated temperatures. Electron fractographic examination revealed that the overall fracture surface micromorphology, a duplex dimple structure coupled with stringer troughs, was independent of test temperature. In addition, the fracture resistance of Alloy A-286 was found to be weakened by the presence of a nonuniform distribution of second phase particles throughout the matrix.

ABSTRACTFracture toughness vs. temperature of the cubic (L12), Mn- modified titanium trialuminide (based on Al3Ti) was investigated in air at the temperature range up to 1000°C. Toughness calculated from the maximum load exhibits a broad peak (KQ≈7–10 MPara0,5) at the 200- 500°C temperature range and then decreases with increasing temperature, reaching a room temperature value of ∼4.5 MPam0.5 at 1000°C. However, the work of fracture (γWOF, J/m2) and the stress intensity factor calculated from it (KIWOF) increases continuously with increasing temperature. Fracture modes exhibit a gradual transition from transgranular cleavage at room temperature to predominantly intergranular failure at the 800- 1000°C range.
