Fatigue crack growth behaviour of nickel based superalloys at ambient temperature

摘要

The present investigation deals with the study of fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) behaviour of conventional IN 718 (Ni-0.02%C-19.0%Cr-19.35%Fe-3.0%Mo-5.10%Nb-0.50%Al-1.00%Ti-0.0033%B, all in wt%) and modified IN 718 (Ni-0.02%C-19.04%Cr-19.31%Fe-3.04%Mo-4.73%Nb-1.01%Al-1.16%Ti-0.0033%B, all in wt%) alloys at ambient temperature. Modified IN 718 alloy exhibits enhanced crack growth resistance due to roughness induced crack closure as compared to conventional IN 718 alloy.
