The hold-time fatigue behaviour of Allvac 718Plus was investigated both in the as-heat treated condition and after long-time exposure at temperature close to the maximum operating limit. At temperatures above 450°C the introduction of 90 s hold-time at maximum load significantly increased the fatigue crack growth rate. Both conditions showed purely cycle dependent behavior at 450°C and close to purely time dependent behavior at 700°C. At 600°C intermediate behavior was observed. The long-time exposure had little effect on the cyclic (0.5 Hz) crack growth rates, but the resistance to crack growth with 90 s hold-time decreased. No microstructural effects of long-time exposure (700°C/140 h + 675°C/460 h) could be observed by SEM, but there were indications that the hardness of the material increases somewhat after exposure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
