NANOSTRUCTURE CHARACTERIZATION OF IN738LC SUPERALLOY FATIGUED AT HIGH TEMPERATURE
Petrenec, M. ; Strunz, Pavel ; Gasser, U. ; Heczko, Milan ; Zálešák, J. ; Polák, Jaroslav
The nanostructure of Inconel 738LC Ni-superalloy strengthened by trimodal Y precipitates distribution was investigated after Low Cycle Fatigue (LFC) loading at temperature 700°C. Different microscopic techniques as Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with STEM detectro, transmission Kikuchi diffraction in the SEM, transmission electron microscope (TEM) in the bright field mode and high resolution transmission electron mciroscopes (HRTEM) in STEM mode were used for the characterization and quantification of superalloy nanostructure. The characteristic morphology of y precipitates was examined by ex-situ and in-situ Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) at high temperatures. All adopted microscopic techniques indicate that the morphology of y precipitates distributed in the y matrix as recived state corresponds to two types, i.e. large cuboid-like precipitates with the size around 670 nm, and the spherical precipitates with the diameter 52nm. After eh LCF tests at temperature 700°C, the ex-situ SANS measurement yielded addititonal scattering intensities coming from another small y precipitetes with estimated size up to 10nm.

The nanostructure of Inconel 738LC Ni-superalloy strengthened by trimodal γ’ precipitates distribution was investigated after Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) loading at temperature 700°C. Different microscopic techniques as Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with STEM detector, transmission Kikuchi diffraction in the SEM, transmission electron microscope (TEM) in the bright field mode and high resolution transmission electron microscopes in STEM mode were used for the characterization of nanostructure. The characteristic morphology of γ’ precipitates was examined by ex-situ and in-situ Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) at high temperatures. All microscopic techniques indicate that the morphology of γ’ precipitates distributed in the γ matrix as received state corresponds to two types, i.e. large cuboid-like precipitates with the size around 670 nm, and the spherical precipitates with the diameter 52 nm. After the LCF tests at temperature 700°C, the ex-situ SANS measurement yielded additional scattering intensities coming from another small γ’ precipitates with estimated size up to 10 nm.

Analysis of cyclic plasticity of fatigued nickel based superalloys at elevated temperatures
Petrenec, Martin ; Tobiáš, Jiří ; Polák, Jaroslav ; Šmíd, Miroslav ; Chlupová, Alice ; Petráš, Roman
Cyclic strain controlled multiple step tests have been performed on cylindrical specimens of cast Inconel 738LC superalloy at 23 and 800 °C and Inconel 792-5A superalloy at 800 °C in laboratory atmosphere. The effect of temperature on the cyclic stress-strain response characterized by internal and effective cyclic stress components and on the dislocation arrangement has been studied. The evolution of the effective and internal stress components and effective elastic moduli were derived from the hysteresis loops analyzed according to the statistical theory of the hysteresis loop. Cyclic hardening/softening curves and shortened cyclic stress-strain curves were obtained at all temperatures in both superalloys. The shortened cyclic stress-strain curves (CSSCs) can be fitted by power law at all temperatures and for both materials. They are shifted to lower stresses with increasing temperature. The CSSC of Inconel 792-5A is shifted to higher stress amplitude in comparison with that of Inconel 738LC due to different number and type of precipitates. Observation of dislocation structures by TEM revealed cyclic strain localization into persistent slip bands. Cyclic stress-strain response is compared at all temperatures in both superalloys and discussed in relation to the changes of internal and effective stress components and microstructural parameters of the material. Higher stress response of the Inconel 792-5A than of the Inconel 738LC superalloy at 800°C is due to higher effective stresses of respective γ´ phases.

Low Cycle Fatigue and Analysis of the Cyclic Stress-strain Response in Superalloy Inconel 738LC
Tobiáš, Jiří ; Chlupová, Alice ; Petrenec, Martin ; Polák, Jaroslav
The paper describes the results of fatigue behavior study on cast polycrystalline nickel based superalloy tested at 23 and 800 °C. Cylindrical specimens of Inconel 738LC were cyclically strained under total strain control to fracture and multiple step tests were performed to study the effect of temperature on the internal and effective cyclic stress components. Fatigue life curves were approximated by the Manson- Coffin and Basquin laws. The resulting curves were shifted to lower fatigue lives with increasing temperature. The evolution of the effective and internal stress components and effective elastic modules were derived from the hysteresis loops which were analyzed according to the statistical theory of hysteresis loop. Cyclic stress-strain response at both temperatures and the changes of internal and effective stress components were discussed in relation to microstructural parameters of the superalloy.

Microstructure, tensile properties and fatigue behaviour of bulk nanoquasicrystalline Al alloy Al93Fe3Cr2Ti2
Chlupová, Alice ; Chlup, Zdeněk ; Kruml, Tomáš ; Kuběna, Ivo ; Roupcová, Pavla
The characterization of mechanical properties (i.e. stress-strain characteristics measured in tensile and fatigue tests) together with description of the microstructure of bulk nanocrystalline Al alloy is reported. Aluminium based material used in this work was prepared by hot extrusion of gas atomised powder of chemical composition Al93Fe3Cr2Ti2 which contains nanosized quasicrystalline phase. Changes in fracture mechanisms both at fatigue testing performed at room temperature and at tensile tests performed at different test temperatures were investigated. The quality of powder compaction after extrusion was proved as sufficient. Strong texture in longitudinal direction resulting from production route was detected. Presence of icosahedral phase in material was confirmed by TEM and XRD techniques. Fractographical analysis of fracture surface was performed and results were used for description of fracture mechanisms.
