Fatigue Crack Growth Rates of Structural Alloys at 4 K

  • Chapter
Advances in Cryogenic Engineering

Part of the book series: Advances in Cryogenic Engineering ((ACRE,volume 22))

Abstract

Recent developments in applied superconductivity have demonstrated the feasibility of constructing electrical machinery to operate at liquid helium temperature. A device such as a rotating superconducting generator contains structural members that are continually subjected to fatigue during operation at 4 K. The fatigue resistance of candidate structural materials in this environment is a vital design consideration, and fatigue studies at extreme cryogenic temperatures are currently of great practical importance.
