Effects of crystallographic orientations and dwell types on low cycle fatigue and life modeling of a SC superalloy

Effects of temperature (760 °C and 980 °C), crystallographic orientation ([0 0 1], [0 1 1] and [1 1 1]) and dwell types (tensile, compressive and balanced dwell type) on low cycle fatigue (LCF) of a Ni-based single crystal (SC) superalloy are experimentally investigated and modeled. Since the LCF behavior shows strong crystallographic orientation and dwell type dependences, corresponding accurate life models are needed for safe application in...
