Comparison of low cycle fatigue characteristics of cast nickel base superalloys Inconel 713 LC a Inconel 792-5A
Petrenec, Martin ; Obrtlík, Karel ; Polák, Jaroslav
Cylindrical specimens of cast polycrystalline nickel base superalloys Inconel 713 LC and Inconel 792-5A were cyclically strained under total strain control at room temperature and at 800 °C. Structural characteristics of both materials are documented. Metallographic observations revealed coarse grains with dendrites, shrinkage pores and carbide inclusions. TEM observation shows differences in the morphology of ordered γ´ precipitates in both materials. Cyclic hardening/softening curves, cyclic stress-strain curves, and fatigue life curves were obtained for both temperatures. The cyclic hardening/softening curves depend both on temperature and plastic strain amplitude. The cyclic stress-strain curves can be approximated by power law. Experimental points of fatigue life curves satisfy the Manson-Coffin and Basquin law. Stress-strain response and fatigue life characteristics are compared at both temperatures and discussed in relation to structural parameters of materials studied.

Fatigue behaviour of nickel base superalloy Inconel 713LC at high temperature
Juliš, M. ; Obrtlík, Karel ; Podrábský, T. ; Petrenec, Martin
Total strain controlled tests have been performed on cylindrical specimens of Inconel 713 LC polycrystals at 800 °C. Cyclic hardening-softening, cyclic stress-strain and fatigue life curves were obtained. Fracture surface was studied using scanning electron microscopy. High amplitude cycling results in early pronounced hardening followed by softening. Low amplitude cycling is characterized by the stable stress response. Manson-Coffin and Basquin laws can reasonably approximate the fatigue life data. Fatigue crack initiation at casting defects is documented.

Material analysis of magnesium alloy AZ 91 with various amount of lithium
Man, O. ; Petrenec, Martin ; Ptáček, L.
he contribution deals with magnesium alloy of commercial grade AZ 91 with various amount of lithium addition (5.5, 8 and 12 wt.%). The alloy was observed in the as-cast state and after annealing. Various types of analysis were done, such as metallographic one using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmision electron microscopy, in order to gain knowledge about the phase composition of the alloy and its development. Several phases and morphological features were identified, but the rest was not, due to the properties of lithium-rich areas.

Initial stages of fatigue failure of polycrystalline materials
Man, Jiří ; Petrenec, Martin ; Obrtlík, Karel ; Polák, Jaroslav
Geometry of persistent slip markings (PSMs) formed during cyclic loading of polycrystalline stainless steels and superalloy was studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM-FEG). Internal dislocation structure was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Persistent slip bands with dislocation structure corresponding to the cyclic strain localization were identified and correlated with PSMs observed on the specimen surface.

CYCLIC PLASTICITY AND DISLOCATION SUBSTRUCTURE OF ferritic STAINLESS STEEL
Petrenec, Martin ; Polák, Jaroslav
The cyclic plastic response of polycrystalline ferritic stainless steel with b.c.c. structure is analysed in terms of the general statistical theory of the hysteresis loop and cycled in the magnetic field. Simultaneously, the internal dislocation substructure developed in the material during cyclic straining is studied using transmission electron microscopy and Kikuchi lines. The inhomogeneous distribution of dislocations into the persistent slip bands can be correlated with the localization of the cyclic plastic strain. The analysis of the loop shape by plotting the first and the second derivative of the half-loop allows determining the effective stress and the probability density function of the critical internal stresses. Extra peak of the second derivative of the half-loop was explained by the inverse magneto-elastic effect.
