Abstract

Isothermal fatigue tests and both out-of-phase and in-phase thermomechanical fatigue tests were performed in air and in helium atmospheres. A wide range of temperatures from 20 ‡C to 700 ‡C was considered in these tests on 1070 steel specimens. A procedure for inert atmosphere testing using encapsulated specimens is described. Results indicate that the fatigue lives are 2 to 12 times greater in helium than in air. Interrupted tests were performed to characterize the pro-gression of damage in the material. Results indicate that oxidation-induced crack nucleation and crack growth are detrimental at high temperatures for isothermal and out-of-phase thermome-chanical fatigue tests. In these tests, transgranular cracking is observed. However, creep-induced intergranular cracking is the dominant damage mechanism during in-phase thermomechanical fatigue tests.
