Abstract
In this study, Hybrid-controlled creep-fatigue (HCCF) tests were conducted on TP321 austenitic stainless steel under a variety of test conditions. The effects of strain amplitude, holding time, holding stress and temperature on the creep-fatigue behavior of TP321 austenitic stainless steel were not only analyzed in detail but also revealed the creep-fatigue damage interactive mechanism. The results demonstrated that a rise in test temperature and load holding time markedly induced creep deformation, resulting in a notable reduction in failure life. Additionally, an increase in test temperature led to the cessation of the cyclic hardening phenomenon. Secondly, the analysis of fracture morphology and X-ray computed tomography (X-CT) scanning results demonstrated that the transgranular cracks expanded inwards and connected with the intergranular voids under creep-fatigue interaction, forming a mixed intergranular and transcrystalline fracture mode. The presence of large creep cavities impeded the propagation of fatigue cracks when creep damage was the dominant phenomenon. Subsequently, the damage evolution mechanism was elucidated through microstructural analysis, which revealed that the impact of the slip bands on the triangular grain boundaries and the precipitation of carbides facilitated the nucleation of voids and the internal formation of intergranular microcracks, thereby causing creep-fatigue damage interaction. Finally, the TP321 austenitic stainless steel creep-fatigue damage interactive mechanism diagram was proposed in conjunction with the fracture morphological characteristics and microstructure.
