Abstract

This paper investigates macro- and microscopic fractography performed on fracture specimens from low cycle fatigue (LCF) testings through an Alloy 617 base metal and weldments. The weldment specimens were taken from gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) pad of Alloy 617. The aim of the present study is to investigate the macro- and microscopic aspects of the low cycle fatigue fracture mode and mechanism of Alloy 617 base metal and GTAWed weldment specimens. Fully axial total strain controlled fatigue tests were conducted at room temperature with total strain ranges of 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 and 1.5%. Macroscopic fracture surfaces of Alloy 617 base metal specimens showed a flat type normal to the fatigue loading direction, whereas the GTAWed weldment specimens were of a shear/star type. The fracture surfaces of both the base metal and weldment specimens revealed obvious fatigue striations at the crack propagation regime. In addition, the fatigue crack mechanism of the base metal showed a transgranular normal to fatigue loading direction; however, the GTAWed weldment specimens showed a transgranular at approximately $45^{\circ}$ to the fatigue loading direction.

본 논문은 Alloy 617 모재와 용접재에 대한 저사이클 피로 시험 후의 파괴 시험편에 대한 거시적 및 미시적 파면해석을 나타낸다. 용접재 시험편은 Alloy 617의 가스텅그스텐아크 용접 패드로부터 채취, 제작하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 Alloy 617의 모재와 용접재 시험편의 저사이클 파괴 모드 및 기구의 거시적 및 미시적 양상을 고찰하는 것이다. 전변형률 제어 피로시험이 상온에서 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 및 1.5%에 대하여 수행되었다. Alloy 617 모재의 거시적 파면은 피로하중 축에 수직인 평평한 형태의 양상을 보였으나, 용접재 시험편의 경우는 상대적으로 전단/별모양의 양상의 파괴를 나타내었다. 두 시험편 모두 피로균열전파 영역에서는 명확한 스트라이에이션이 관찰되었다. 한편, 모재의 피로균열은 피로 하중 축에 수직인 방향으로 결정입내를 따라 전파하였으나, 용접재 시험편의 경우 하중 축에 거의 $45^{\circ}$의 경사진 형태의 결정입내로 나타났다.
