Abstract
In this article, strain -controlled Low -Cycle Fatigue (LCF) and fatigue-creep tests were performed on Inconel 718 nickel -based superalloy at temperatures of 650 degrees C and 730 degrees C. LCF tests at elevated temperatures were performed with a mechanical strain rate of 1 x 10 -3 /s, while fatigue-creep tests involved either tensile or compressive strain dwell. Both the LCF and fatigue-creep tests revealed cyclic softening, with the mean stress evolving oppositely to the applied strain dwell in the fatigue-creep tests. Investigations into the damage mechanisms identified intergranular cracking as the predominant failure mode. Fatigue-creep loading with a compressive dwell resulted in multiple crack initiations from transgranular oxide intrusions, along with multiple creep cavities during loading at 730 degrees C. Deformation features such as persistent slip bands and deformation nanotwins were observed during cycling at 650 degrees C. In addition, fatigue-creep tests at 730 degrees C exhibited 8 phase precipitation and a coarsening of strengthening precipitates, contributing to additional softening that increased over prolonged test durations. Finally, the observed lifetime during LCF tests decreased with increasing temperatures, and fatigue-creep loading was observed to be more damaging than LCF. On the other hand, fatigue-creep loading with a tensile strain dwell demonstrated a higher lifetime compared to LCF at 730 degrees C.
