Experimental data processing for calibration of isotropic hardening model
Chlaň, Jakub ; Kubík, Petr (referee) ; Šebek, František (advisor)
The main aim of the present bachelor's thesis is to create a universally applicable script, which is used for the data processing of the fatigue test in order to calibrate the isotropic hardening model. The theoretical part is devoted to the phenomenon of cyclic hardening/softening, the mathematical models of hardening and last but not least, the practice of fatigue tests together with the possibilities of their evaluation. The rest of the work includes the algorithm creation procedure and demonstration of its functionality by processing data from fatigue tests of alloy AlCu4Mg1.

Low cycle fatigue behaviour and fatigue crack initiation in MAR-M247 at 700 °c
Šulák, Ivo ; Obrtlík, Karel ; Hrbáček, K.
The second generation nickel-based superalloy MAR-M247 offersa satisfying combination of fatigue and creep properties and oxidation and corrosion resistance that arerequired for application at elevated temperatures in hostile environments. The microstructure consists mainly oftheface centred cubic γ matrix and ordered γ ́ strengthening precipitates (L12crystal structure). The present work focuses on low cycle fatigue (LCF) behaviour of polycrystalline nickel-based superalloy MAR-M247 at high temperature. LCF tests were conducted on cylindrical specimens in symmetrical push-pull cycle under strain control with constant total strain amplitude and strain rate at 700 °C in ambientair. Cyclic stress-strain curvesand fatigue life curves in the representation ofplastic strain amplitude vs. stress amplitude andstress amplitude vs. the number of cycles to failure, respectively,were plotted and compared with data obtained on Inconel 713LC. Special attention waspaid to the investigation of crack initiation in MAR-M247 during low cycle fatigue. Crack initiation sites were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in dual beam microscope TESCAN LYRA 3 XMU FESEM equipped with focus ion beam (FIB). Specimens’ surface observations revealed the formation of pronounced surface relief indicating localisation of plastic deformation.Observations in transmission electron microscope (TEM)confirmed localisation of cyclic plastic deformation in persistent slip bands along {111} slip planes. Fractographic analysis revealed fatigue crack initiation sites. Fatigue crack propagation in stage I was typical of smooth facets up to 500 μm long.

LOW CYCLE FATIGUE BEHAVIOR AND FATIGUE CRACK INITIATION IN MAR-M247 AT 700 °C

The second generation nickel-based superalloy MAR-M247 offers a satisfying combination of fatigue and creep properties and oxidation and corrosion resistance that are required for application at elevated temperatures in hostile environments. The microstructure consists mainly of the face centred cubic γ matrix and ordered γ´ strengthening precipitates (L12 crystal structure). The present work focuses on low cycle fatigue (LCF) behaviour of polycrystalline nickel-based superalloy MAR-M247 at high temperature.

Effect of plasma sprayed AlSi coating on low cycle fatigue properties of cast superalloy Inconel 738LC
Obrtlík, Karel ; Pospíšilová, S. ; Juliš, M. ; Čelko, L. ; Podrábský, T.
Air plasma spraying was applied to obtain AlSi protective surface coating on cylindrical specimens of cast polycrystalline superalloy Inconel 738LC. Chemical composition of the surface treated layer was studied and the hardness depth profile was measured. Surface treated and untreated specimens were cyclically strained under total strain control at 800 °C in air. Cyclic stress-strain response and fatigue life of both materials were obtained. The coating results in a slight decrease of cyclic stress-strain curve. A detrimental effect of the surface treatment on derived Wöhler curve is documented while Manson-Coffin curves of both materials are almost identical. Specimen section observations and fracture surface examinations help to discuss fatigue behaviour of both materials.

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.
