Residual Stress Effects on Fatigue Crack Growth in Directionally Solidified YAG/Spinel Eutectics

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, yttrium aluminum garnet-magnesium aluminate spinel with good mechanical strength was fabricated by directional solidification, and its microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. MgAl2O4-Y3Al5O12 eutectic rods were grown by a float zone method. The composition of the grown ingots was determined by the X-ray diffraction technique and electron probe microanalysis. The crack growth characteristics were examined in directionally solidified YAG/spinel eutectics. The residual stresses were determined in MgAl2O4/Y3Al5O12 eutectics using piezospectrosocopic probes. The crack growth behaviors show that residual stresses play a key role in the crack growth.
