N18锆合金的低周疲劳行为

Low Cycle Fatigue Behavior of N18 Alloy

  • 摘要: 在不同试验温度(室温~500 ℃)下,对N18合金进行了低周疲劳试验。试验结果表明:室温~300 ℃温区,合金表现为明显的循环软化;400、450 ℃时,合金逐渐呈现循环硬化,450 ℃时其硬化现象更为明显;500 ℃时则主要表现为循环饱和。随着温度的升高,疲劳寿命先增加后降低,300 ℃时疲劳寿命最高。低应变幅下,温度对疲劳寿命的影响更明显。通过疲劳断口SEM分析,室温下疲劳起源于单个裂纹源,疲劳裂纹扩展阶段的微观特征主要是疲劳条纹,局部区域出现轮胎状花样。在高温下为多裂纹源,大量二次裂纹的存在是高温疲劳断口的主要特征。

     

    Abstract: Low cycle fatigue (LCF) tests were conducted on N18 alloy at different temperatures varying from room temperature to 500 ℃.The results show that N18 alloys display cyclic softening from room temperature to 300 ℃. When the temperature is 400 and 450 ℃, the alloy presents the cyclic hardening gradually; at 450 ℃, its hardening phenomenon is more obvious. Saturation stage occupies the majority of the entire cycle fatigue life at 500 ℃. The fatigue life increases as the temperature increases, then the fatigue life decreases, LCF life shows a maximum at 300 ℃, and the temperature effect on life is more pronounced at low strain amplitudes. The analysis of the fracture surface reveals fatigue cracks originated in a single source at room temperature, on the fatigue crack propagation’s stage, micro-feature is mainly the fatigue stripe, and the local region presents the tire-like pattern. However, at high temperature, there are multiple crack sources, the fracture is characterized by secondary cracks.
