Abstract
- The mechanism of oxidation-assisted initiation of surface cracks of a fourth-generation Ni-based single crystal superalloy was systematically investigated during low cycle fatigue at 900 °C and 980 °C. The results show that cracks initiate near the surface defects at 900 °C, while they initiate in the surface oxide layer at 980 °C. At 900 °C, the oxidation microcrack initiation in the thicker inner oxidation layer is difficult to connect with the surface oxidation crack, which is an essential reason for the crack growth rate being slower and not becoming the main crack. At 980 °C, microcracks form in the outer oxide layer and quickly connect with microcracks at the surface and inner/outer oxide layer interface, growing into long cracks that become channels for rapid oxygen transport. This accelerates the crack growth rate, and eventually the oxide crack becomes the main crack.
