An understanding of thermal mechanical fatigue (TMF) crack propagation is fundamental to the application of fracture mechanics to gas turbine components. Typical operating conditions for a cooled turbine disk rim consist of a complex mechanical history and an associated variable amplitude thermal history. While thermally induced stress gradients are commonly incorporated in the mechanical history, the effects of thermal cycling on crack growth must be addressed in an appropriate fatigue model. A current computer-based empirical crack propagation modeling system has demonstrated effectiveness under isothermal conditions and can be readily expanded to include thermal-mechanical effects. The existing isothermal models were developed from an extensive data base and describe crack growth over a broad range of temperature and loading conditions. Building on this established system, a model of thermal-mechanical crack growth is being developed.

Inconel 718, a precipitation hardenable nickel-base alloy, is a versatile high strength, weldable wrought alloy that is used in the gas turbine industry for components operated at temperatures up to about 1300°F. The nominal chemical composition is 0.6A1-0.9Ti-19.OCr-18.0Fe-3Mo-5.2(Cb + Ta)- 0.1C with the balance Ni (in weight percentage). The physical metallurgy of IN 718 has been the subject of a number of investigations and it is now established that hardening is due, primarily, to the formation of metastable, disc-shaped γ" an ordered body-centered tetragonal structure (DO2 2 type superlattice).

The objective of the paper is to present the newest results of our complex research work. In order to determination and comparison of the fatigue resistance, fatigue crack growth tests were performed on different grades of S690QL quenched and tempered, and S960TM thermomechanically rolled high strength steels.15 mmand30 mmthick base materials were used for our investigations. Welded joints were made from these base materials, using gas metal arc welding with matching, overmatching, and undermatching filler metals. In the paper, the performance of the welding experiments will be presented, especially with the difficulties of the filler material selection; along with the results of the fatigue crack growth examinations executed on the base materials and its welded joints. Statistical aspects were applied both for the presenting of the possible locations of the cracks in the base materials and the welded joints and for the processing of the measured data. Furthermore, the results will be compared with each other, and the possibility of derivation of fatigue crack propagation limit curves will be referred.
