Abstract
The role of environmental degradation, particularly oxidation, on the low cycle fatigue response of rotating blades of aero-engine operating at significantly high temperatures is extremely important as it adversely affects its performance. The present work investigates the coupling effect of prior cyclic oxidation and temperature on the low cycle fatigue (LCF) fatigue behaviour of CM 247 DS LC Ni-based superalloy. The LCF tests were performed on both as-received and pre-oxidized specimens at design significant temperatures, i.e., 750 and 850 °C at a strain ratio of 0. The oxidation damage was induced by pre-cyclic thermal exposures at 850 °C for 500 h. The prior oxidized test specimens tended to have lower fatigue lives compared to the as-received test pieces. The nickel oxide, alumina, chromia scales, and alumina-rich intrusions formed during prior oxidation are vulnerable to cracking under low-cycle fatigue (LCF) loading, leading to rapid crack initiation and a corresponding reduction in LCF life. The deterioration of fatigue performance of the prior-oxidized samples is attributed to the formation of a weaker precipitate free zones zone, which effectively introduce the strain incompatibility and cracking the oxide scales.
