Fatigue and Microstructure

  • Chapter
High Temperature Alloys

Abstract

The full potential of engineering materials to resist fatigue damage and failure is never approached in current high temperature components and structures. Various microstructure and design related limitations contribute to the gap between the intrinsic fatigue potential of materials and the equivalent component behaviour. Uncertainties with respect to the service conditions and our inability to correctly predict service performance on the basis of laboratory test data, force the designer to use safety factors. The safety factors are applied to the lower bound of the scatterband which, by itself, results from the intra- and interheat variability of the microstructure as well as from a lack of tightness in the application of testing standards. The present paper, in dealing with the microstructural limitations of the fatigue resistance, focusses attention on the intrinsic fatigue potential of materials and on ways to optimise it.
