Abstract Thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF), as the main failure mode of hot components of an aeroengine, are increasingly investigated recently [1,2]. TMF crack growth is studied in a nickel-based powder metallurgy (PM) superalloy subjected to in-phase (IP) and out-of-phase (OP), as well as isothermal fatigue (IF) at peak temperature. The crack growth rate and path are evaluated for both coarse grain (CG) and fine grain (FG) structure, especially the effects of phase angle and polycrystalline microstructure. The results show that the TMF crack propagation is mainly transgranular in OP condition; while in IP condition, crack propagates intergranularly… More >
