Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of high-temperature nickel-based alloys, and in particular relates to a nickel-based alloy ultra-high cycle fatigue life prediction method, a correction method and a device thereof. Background Art

[0002] High temperature nickel-based alloys are widely used in industry due to their excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and creep fatigue resistance over a wide range of typical temperatures. This type of alloy is often used in critical components such as heavy gas turbines and aircraft engine blades. Under such conditions, the material is often subjected to extremely high frequency vibration cyclic loads with a service life of more than 10 7 Cycles, also known as ultra-high cycle fatigue. The prediction of ultra-high cycle fatigue life of high-temperature nickel-based alloys is the basis for the reliable service of structural components in the aerospace and energy fields.

[0003] Research results show that cracks in nickel-based alloys often initiate on the specimen surface during high- and ultra-high-cycle cycles. The crack initiation mechanism and influencing factors for these alloys, such as surface twin boundary cracking models and the influence of surface defects, have become a hot topic in the fatigue field in recent years. Existing ultra-high-cycle fatigue life prediction research has mostly focused on high-strength steels and titanium alloys, where crack initiation tends to shift inward. While some models related to crack initiation depth are applicable, such as the Z parameter model proposed by East China University of Science and Technology (Acta. Mater, 157 (2018): 259-275), some defect models related to crack initiation depth are no longer applicable to nickel-based alloys with surface cracking.

[0004] In addition, the ultra-high cycle fatigue life prediction of nickel-based alloys, especially the prediction models that require easy access to key parameters and are suitable for rapid use in the industry, are still insufficient. For example, the damage accumulation life prediction model proposed by Tsinghua University for 718 nickel-based alloy (Sci. China. Phys. Mech, 56 (2013): 617-623) has good prediction results, but the formula is relatively complex and is not suitable for quick and easy use in the industry.

[0005] At present, the current models and methods cannot guarantee the rapid and accurate prediction of the ultra-high cycle fatigue life of nickel-based alloys in the industry: there are few studies on ultra-high cycle fatigue life prediction models for nickel-based alloys, and there are problems such as some models are not applicable or the parameters and usage processes are complicated. In addition, material performance parameters and key parameters of crack sources are not considered, resulting in poor prediction results and reduced accuracy; secondly, traditional fatigue testing methods are time-consuming and are not suitable for the needs of rapid industrial production and testing.

[0095]

[0096] α=0.226+HV×10 -4

[0097] The value range of C is 1.43 to 1.56. In this embodiment, for the surface cracks or surface defects of nickel-based alloys, C=1.43.

[0098] (6) Obtain the actual life N of nickel-based alloy through ultrasonic vibration fatigue test results f (As shown in Table 1), try to obtain the material parameters A and B; here take A = 200, B = 620, substitute the material parameters A and B into the formula of the nickel-based alloy life correction coefficient β to obtain the nickel-based alloy life correction coefficient β.

[0102]

[0103] The present invention discloses a method for correcting the ultra-high cycle fatigue life of a nickel-based alloy, comprising the following steps:

[0104] (1) Perform room temperature tensile test on nickel-based alloy and draw tensile curve of nickel-based alloy (such as Figure 2 As shown), and the elastic modulus E of the room temperature material is calculated based on the tensile curve, v is the Poisson's ratio of the nickel-based alloy; in this embodiment, E = 200 GPa, v = 0.3, and the shear modulus of the material is calculated as G = E / 2(1+v) = 76.9 GPa;

[0105] (2) Hardness test of nickel-based alloy was performed, and the Vickers hardness of the material was obtained as HV = 480;

[0106] (3) The nickel-based alloy was subjected to an ultrasonic vibration fatigue test at room temperature with a certain stress ratio of -1, and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the nickel-based alloy fracture was taken. The vertical projection area of ​​the crack source is the cross-sectional projection area obtained by the scanning electron microscope (SEM), and area = πa0 2 The equivalent radius of the crack source a0 is obtained by conversion; the SEM results of the No.1 sample fracture are as follows Figure 3 As shown;

[0107] Steps (1), (2), and (3) do not represent the order of the steps, and steps (1), (2), and (3) can be used in a reversed order.

[0108] (4) Calculate the stress intensity threshold value ΔK by the formula th and fracture energy Ws;

[0117] The value range of C is 1.43 to 1.56. In this embodiment, for surface cracks or surface defects of nickel-based alloys, C=1.43.

[0118] (6) Obtain the actual life N of nickel-based alloy through ultrasonic vibration fatigue test results f (As shown in Table 1), try to obtain the material parameters A and B; here A and B are initially set to 500 in the test results, and then substituted into N i In the formula (without β), the predicted lifespan is calculated, and the actual value is adjusted based on the error between the predicted lifespan and the actual lifespan (guaranteed to be within ±3 times the error). If the error exceeds ±3 times, a new value is required. If the error is within ±3 times, it can be substituted into the β formula to obtain β. (Three parameters are complex, and a single parameter will result in a large error and cannot guarantee the effect.)

[0119] Here, A=200, B=620 is the smallest error (as shown in Table 2, Table 3, Figure 6 As shown), the material parameters A and B are substituted into the nickel-based alloy life correction coefficient β formula to obtain the nickel-based alloy life correction coefficient β.
