Abstract

The 718 alloy possesses excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures, good process ability, therefore, it has been widely used in aero engine turbine disks, compressor disks, and power turbine shafts (i.e., rotating components). The fatigue properties of the 718 alloy are a key factor that determines the safety and reliability of the engine. In this paper, the fatigue properties of the 718 alloy are investigated under high temperature conditions at 455 and 600 °C. The initiation of fatigue cracks, and the relationship between fatigue life and grain size are discussed. The results show that the twin boundaries in large grains and carbides are acting as a crack initiation site for plate specimens, and string-type or heap-type carbides distribution promotes crack propagation and shortens fatigue life. Carbides respond as a crack initiation site for cylindrical specimens. The grain size is smaller, and the low cycle fatigue properties of the alloy are improved.
