Abstract

The short fatigue crack growth tests for circular notched compact tension specimens of GH4133B superalloy used in turbine disk of aero-engine are carried out at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. The stress intensity factor ranges and the fatigue crack growth rates at various stress ratios are measured, and the corresponding effective stress intensity factor ranges considering the crack closure effect are calculated. It is shown that the effective stress intensity factor range ΔKeff, can be applied to describe the deceleration and acceleration of crack growth rate during the short crack propagation. The fatigue fracture surface morphologies in the short crack growth region are investigated using a scanning electron microscopy. It is found that there is a cleavage step between two adjacent radial striations, a series of early fatigue striations exist on the cleavage step, and some secondary cracks perpendicular to the direction of main crack propagation emerge on the fracture surface, the superalloy exhibits a mixed fracture mode in the short crack growth region, which reveals the microscopic mechanism of short crack propagation that the fatigue crack growth rate is primarily higher, and then gradually decreases with the propagation of short crack.
