Elevated temperature fatigue testing of metals

The major technology areas needed to perform a life prediction of an aircraft turbine engine hot section component are discussed and the steps required for life prediction are outlined. These include the determination of the operating environment, the calculation of the thermal and mechanical loading of the component, the cyclic stress-strain and creep behavior of the material required for structural analysis, and the structural analysis to determine the local stress-strain-temperature-time response of the material at the critical location in the components. From a knowledge of the fatigue, creep, and failure resistance of the material, a prediction of the life of the component is made. Material characterization and evaluation conducted for the purpose of calculating fatigue crack initiation lives of components operating at elevated temperatures are emphasized.

Technical evaluation report of the Specialists Meeting on Characterization of Low Cycle High Temperature Fatigue by the Strainrange Partitioning Method

The ability of the Strainrange Partitioning Method SRP was evaluated to correlate the creep-fatigue behavior of gas turbine materials and to predict the creep fatigue life of laboratory specimens subjected to complex cycling conditions. A reference body of high temperature creep fatigue data which can be used in the evaluation of other SRP and low cycle high temperature fatigue predictive techniques was provided.

Review of the Agard S&M panel evaluation program of the NASA-Lewis 'SRP' approach to high-temperature LCF life prediction

Twenty laboratories in six countries participated in this program, each testing its own materials of interest under its own laboratory conditions. In this way the results obtained provided validation of the Strainrange Partitioning (SRP) method for a wide range of materials and insured maximum usefulness to each of the participating laboratories. The first, very necessary step in the evaluation of any life prediction approach - assessing the ability of the method to predict life of simple laboratory specimens subjected to complex loading, was thereby taken. The culmination of this program was the Specialists Meeting that was held in Aalborg, Denmark in April of 1978. At that meeting the various investigators shared their findings, thus providing the basis for an in-depth evaluation of the SRP method. While the results were variable from laboratory to laboratory, most investigators agreed that the SRP method was a significant step toward life prediction in the presence of high temperature and cyclic stresses.

Ductility normalized-strain-range partitioning life relations for creep-fatigue life predictions

Techniques utilizing strainrange partitioning may be used to estimate the effects of the environment on the high-temperature, low-cycle, creep-fatigue resistance of alloys. Three levels of ductility-normalized strainrange-partitioning life relations are discussed: (1) strainrange partitioning relations from ductility data, (2) strainrange partitioning relations scaled by ductility ratios, and (3) strainrange partitioning life relations with measured PP lines. The procedures have demonstrated good agreement with available creep-fatigue data.

Ductility normalized-strainrange partitioning life relations for creep-fatigue life predictions

Procedures based on Strainrange Partitioning (SRP) are presented for estimating the effects of environment and other influences on the high temperature, low cycle, creep fatigue resistance of alloys. It is proposed that the plastic and creep, ductilities determined from conventional tensile and creep rupture tests conducted in the environment of interest be used in a set of ductility normalized equations for making a first order approximation of the four SRP inelastic strainrange life relations. Different levels of sophistication in the application of the procedures are presented by means of illustrative examples with several high temperature alloys. Predictions of cyclic lives generally agree with observed lives within factors of three.

Use of strainrange partitioning to predict high temperature low-cycle fatigue life

The fundamental concepts of the strainrange partitioning approach to high temperature, low low-cycle fatigue are reviewed. Procedures are presented by which the partitioned strainrange versus life relationships for any material can be generated. Laboratory tests are suggested for further verifying the ability of the method of strainrange partitioning to predict life.

Strainrange Partitioning - A tool for characterizing high-temperature low-cycle fatigue

The basic concepts of Strainrange Partitioning are reviewed, with particular reference to the areas requiring expanded verification. A cooperative program is proposed for achieving this broader verification through the additional experience provided by the participants in this program. The suggested program includes verification of the four basic life relationships (for PP, CC, PC, and CP type inelastic strainranges) for a variety of materials chosen by the participating organizations. The four relationships are then used in conjunction with the Interaction Damage Rule to predict the cyclic lives of tests involving various combinations of the basic strainrange components. The testing program also includes evaluation of the degree of insensitivity of these relationships to temperature as well as their utility in representing bounds on life.

The basic concepts of strain range partitioning are reviewed and the areas requiring for expanded verification are detailed. A suggested cooperative evaluation program involves the verification of the four basic life relationships (for PP, CC, PC, and CP type inelastic strain ranges) for a variety of materials that are of direct interest to the participating organizations.

Temperature effects on the strainrange partitioning approach for creep-fatigue analysis.

Examination is made of the influence of temperature on the strain-range partitioning approach to creep-fatigue. Results for 2.5Cr-1Mo steel and Type 316 stainless steel show the four partitioned strain range-life relationships to be temperature insensitive to within a factor of two on cyclic life. Monotonic creep and tensile ductilities were also found to be temperature insensitive to within a factor of two. The approach provides bounds on cyclic life that can be readily established for any type of inelastic strain cycle.

Cyclic creep and fatigue of TD-NiCr (thoria-dispersion-strengthened nickel-chromium), TD-Ni, and NiCr sheet at 1200 C

The resistance of thin TD-NiCr sheet to cyclic deformation was compared with that of TD-Ni and a conventional nickel-chromium alloy. Strains were determined by a calibration technique which combines room-temperature strain gage and deflection measurements with high-temperature deflection measurements. Analyses of the cyclic tests using measured tensile and creep-rupture data indicated that the TD-NiCr and NiCr alloy specimens failed by a cyclic creep mechanism. The TD-Ni specimens, on the other hand, failed by a fatigue mechanism.

Temperature effects on the strainrange partitioning approach for creep-fatigue analysis

Examination is made of the influence of temperature on the strainrange partitioning approach to creep-fatigue. Results for Cr-Mo steel and Type 316 stainless steel show the four partitioned strainrange-life relationships to be temperature insensitive to within a factor of two on cyclic life. Monotonic creep and tensile ductilities were also found to be temperature insensitive to within a factor of two. The approach provides bounds on cyclic life that can be readily established for any type of inelastic strain cycle. Continuous strain cycling results obtained over a broad range of high temperatures and frequencies are in excellent agreement with bounds provided by the approach. The observed transition from one bound to the other is also in good agreement with the approach.

Creep-fatigue analysis by strain-range partitioning.

The framework of a new method is outlined for treating creep-fatigue behavior of metals. Inelastic strain-ranges are partitioned into the components of (1) completely reversed plasticity, (2) tensile plasticity reversed by compressive creep, or tensile creep reversed by compressive plasticity, and (3) completely reversed creep. Each of these components is shown to be related to cyclic life by a Manson-Coffin type power-law equation. A linear life fraction rule is used to combine the damaging effects of the individual components enabling the prediction of life. Test results are presented for a 2.25 Cr-1 Mo steel as well as limited information for a Type 316 stainless steel.
