High Cycle Fatigue Behavior of a Wrought Nickel-Base Superalloy GH4698

Article Preview

Abstract:

Smooth and notched specimens of a wrought nickel-base superalloy GH4698 were subjected to high cycle fatigue (HCF) loading at room temperature and 650°C in ambient atmosphere. The experimental results show that the fatigue strength decreased with the increasing of temperature and cyclic stress, and fatigue limit of notched specimens was lower than that of smooth specimens. The fracture surface presents typical characteristics of fatigue fracture, where both stage I and stage II crack propagation can be found. For the smooth specimens, the single primary crack initiated on the surface or subsurface, while multiple primary cracks initiated on the surface for the notched specimens because of local stress concentration.
