In this study, HCF tests at 900°C were conducted on DD6 single-crystal superalloy containing dustpan and dovetail FCHs. The effect of shaped FCHs and manufacturing defects on the HCF strength was investigated, and the related HCF failure mechanism was analyzed using SEM, EDS, and EBSD. The results show that manufacturing defects including pores, recast layer, and polycrystalline microstructure region exist around the shaped FCH edge. The stress concentration of defective pores promotes the plastic deformation and oxidation at high temperatures, leading to crack initiation. The oxide layer thickness in the high stress area of the dovetail FCH specimen is 3.44 μm thicker than that of the dustpan specimen, and correspondingly the fatigue strength of the dovetail FCH specimen is 13.96 MPa lower than that of the dustpan specimen (304.93 MPa vs. 318.89 MPa). The fatigue strength of these two kinds of FCH specimens is lower than that of the traditional cylindrical FCHs due to the existence of the manufacturing defects, indicating the necessity to consider the effect of manufacturing defects in the evaluation of the HCF strength of components with the shaped FCHs.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":12298,"journal":{"name":"Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures","volume":"48 7","pages":"2803-2820"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144213987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research on the mechanism of crack propagation caused by drawing damage is still to be urgently solved in engineering.

On this basis, a continuous multi-pass drawing model of steel wire with central inclusions under different compression ratios is established by FEM. The process of crack propagation caused by damage is realized in the simulation. The results show that the larger the size of the inclusion is, the easier it is to form a V-shaped crack propagation path at the front of the inclusion. With the decrease of the compression ratio under the total drawing strain, the internal damage increment of the steel wire increases gradually after multi-pass drawing, which will increase the failure probability of the steel wire as a whole. In particular, the damage of the intact steel wire increases linearly when the compression ratio <i>R</i> = 12%.

The results indicate that, in the fracture process of layered rock masses, a large number of microscopic cracks in the front area of the crack tip are continuously activated, developed, and fused, ultimately converging into macroscopic main cracks that can cause fracture failure. During the dynamic fracture process of the layered rock masses, the displacement field of the specimen exhibited a clear gradient, with obvious displacement contour lines appearing and no discontinuity in the contour lines at the beddings.

It is found that apart from the basal slip, the twinning deformation played dual roles in microstructural damage and fatigue crack initiation. Under larger plastic deformations, twinning improved the strain compatibility between adjacent grains relaxing matrix damage, and most of the crack initiation occurred at interior shrinkages. In contrast, twinning proliferated with long life under low strains, which enhanced the interaction between dislocation slip and twinning, promoting the formation of interior facets under shear stress.
