Title: Reduced-order microstructure-sensitive protocols to rank-order the transition fatigue resistance of polycrystalline microstructures

Abstract

We present that the transition fatigue regime between low cycle fatigue (LCF) and high cycle fatigue (HCF) is often addressed in the design and performance evaluation of load-bearing components used in many structural applications. Transition fatigue is characterized by elevated levels of local inelastic deformation in significant regions of the microstructure as compared to HCF. Typically, crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) simulations are performed to model this phenomenon and to rank-order microstructures by their resistance to crack formation and early growth in the regime of transition fatigue. Unfortunately, these approaches require significant computational resources, inhibiting their use to explore novel materials for transition fatigue resistance. Reduced-order, microstructure-sensitive models are needed to accelerate the search for next-generation, fatigue-resistant materials. In a recent study, Paulson et al. (2018) extended the materials knowledge system (MKS) framework for rank-ordering the HCF resistance of polycrystalline microstructures. The efficacy of this approach lies in the reduced-dimensional representation of microstructures through 2-point spatial correlations and principal component analysis (PCA), in addition to the characterization of the HCF response with a small set of performance measures. In this work, these same protocols are critically evaluated for their applicability to rank-order the transition fatigue resistance of the samemore »« less

Data-driven reduced-order models for rank-ordering the high cycle fatigue performance of polycrystalline microstructures

Journal Article Paulson, Noah H. ; Priddy, Matthew W. ; McDowell, David L. ; ... - Materials & Design

Computationally efficient estimation of the fatigue response of polycrystalline materials is critical for the development of next generation materials in application domains such as transportation, health, security, and energy industries. This is non-trivial for fatigue of polycrystalline metals since the initiation and growth of fatigue cracks depends strongly on attributes of the microstructure, such as the sizes, shapes, orientations, and neighbors of individual grains. Furthermore, regions of microstructure most likely to initiate cracks correspond to the tails of the distributions of the microstructure features. This requires the execution of large numbers of experiments or simulations to capture the response ofmore »« less

Low cycle fatigue behavior of polycrystalline Ni[sub 3]Al alloys at ambient and elevated temperatures

Journal Article Webb, G ; Antolovich, S D - Metallurgical Transactions, A (Physical Metallurgy and Materials Science); (United States)

The low cycle fatigue (LCF) resistance of polycrystalline Ni[sub 3]Al has been evaluated at ambient, intermediate (300 C), and elevated (600 C) temperatures using strain rates of 10[sup [minus]2]/s and 10[sup [minus]4]/s. Testing was conducted on a binary and a Cr-containing alloy of similar stoichiometry and B content. Test results were combined with electron microscope investigations in order to evaluate microstructural changes during LCF. At ambient and intermediate temperatures, the cyclic constitutive response of both alloys was similar, and the LCF behavior was virtually rate independent. Under these conditions, the alloys rapidly hardened and then gradually softened for the remaindermore »« less
Investigations on the fatigue behavior of high-temperature alloys for high-temperature gas-cooled reactor components

Journal Article Meurer, H P ; Gnirss, G K.H. ; Mergler, W ; ... - Nucl. Technol.; (United States)

For the development of a high-temperature gascooled reactor that is to be operated at temperatures up to 950/sup 0/C, the low-cycle fatigue (LCF) as well as the high-cycle fatigue (HCF) behavior of several hightemperature alloys have been evaluated. The tests, performed between room temperature and 950/sup 0/C, include the influence of the environment, hold times, and strain rate in the case of LCF behavior and of mean stresses in the case of HCF behavior. At high strain ranges, alloys with a high ductility like Incoloy-800H appear to be superior, whereas at low strain ranges and under HCF conditions, high-strength alloysmore »« less
Microcrack propagation in Ti-6Al-4V alloys

Conference Hines, J A ; Peters, J O ; Luetjering, G

In this study, microcrack propagation in Ti-6Al-4V was examined in regions just above and below the fatigue limit. Two different Ti-6Al-4V alloys with nominally similar chemical compositions were examined: the first alloy was thermo-mechanically treated in the laboratory to develop a bi-modal and a fully lamellar microstructure and the second alloy is from the High Cycle Fatigue MURI program (forging No. 197) containing a duplex microstructure. Microcracks were nucleated in smooth specimens of each microstructure in the LCF regime during tests conducted at R = {minus}1 (R = {sigma}{sub min}/{sigma}{sub max}) so that internal stresses could be minimized. These samplesmore »« less
Computational micromechanics of fatigue of microstructures in the HCF–VHCF regimes

Journal Article Castelluccio, Gustavo M. ; Musinski, William D. ; McDowell, David L. - International Journal of Fatigue

Advances in higher resolution experimental techniques have shown that metallic materials can develop fatigue cracks under cyclic loading levels significantly below the yield stress. Indeed, the traditional notion of a fatigue limit can be recast in terms of limits associated with nucleation and arrest of fatigue cracks at the microstructural scale. Though fatigue damage characteristically emerges from irreversible dislocation processes at sub-grain scales, the specific microstructure attributes, environment, and loading conditions can strongly affect the apparent failure mode and surface to subsurface transitions. This paper discusses multiple mechanisms that occur during fatigue loading in the high cycle fatigue (HCF) tomore »« less
