Low cycle fatigue is the most important failure mode in Aviation/Industrial engine rotary turbine parts. In this paper, the influence of Pt-aluminide coating parameters on high temperature low cycle fatigue behavior of superalloy Rene?80 which is used to manufacture turbine blades, has been investigated. For this purpose, initial platinum layers of different thicknesses (2?m and 8?m) were coated on fatigue specimens. Then the aluminizing process was performed with two conditions of low temperature-high activity and high temperature-low activity. The results of microstructure investigations performed by scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction phase analysis indicated a three-layer structure for the coating (bi-phase (Ni,Pt)Al+PtAl2, single-phase (Ni,Pt)Al and interdiffusion zone) with different chemical compositions at both thicknesses of the platinum layer and using both aluminizing methods. Also, the results of low cycle fatigue tests at 871?C, R=0 and strain rate of 2?10 -3 s-1 showed a decline in fatigue properties in coated specimens as compared to uncoated sample, at total strains of 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2%. This reduction was lower in the low temperature-high activity with platinum layer thickness of 2?m, while it was more significant in the high temperature-low activity with the platinum layer thickness of 8?m. The fractography studies on coated and uncoated specimens indicated a mixed mode of ductile and brittle fracture.
La superaleación Rene®80 a base de Ni se utiliza para fabricar álabes de turbinas de gas en motores a reacción. La vida útil de algunas palas de turbina de motores a reacción está limitada por la fatiga de baja frecuencia y esta propiedad se ha visto fuertemente afectada por los revestimientos. La temperatura de transición de dúctil a frágil (DBTT) es el factor más importante que afecta las propiedades mecánicas de las aleaciones recubiertas. En este estudio, se evaluó el comportamiento de fatiga a alta temperatura y baja frecuencia del compuesto Rene®80 sin recubrimiento y recubierto con aluminuro de platino (Pt-Al) a temperaturas de 871 °C (cerca del DBTT) y 982 °C (por encima del DBTT). Los resultados de las pruebas de fatiga, en condiciones de deformación controlada a 871 °C para R = 0 y una tasa de deformación de 2×10-3 s-1, en un intervalo de deformación total de 0,8%, mostraron una disminución de la resistencia a la fatiga de las muestras recubiertas de aproximadamente un 14%, en comparación con las no recubiertas. Sin embargo, el aumento de la temperatura de prueba de 871 °C a 982 °C, condujo a un aumento en el comportamiento a fatiga de baja frecuencia del compuesto Rene®80 recubierto en aproximadamente un 10% en comparación con las muestras sin recubrir.
