Abstract
INCONEL alloy MA 753 is a dispersion strengthened nickel-base superalloy made by mechanical alloying which combines γ’ precipitation hardening and yttria dispersion strengthening with good oxidation and sulfidation resistance. At temperatures up to 1227 K (1750°F), the fatigue strength of MA 753 is greater than that of a conventional wrought superalloy which has a composition close to that of the MA 753 matrix. Fatigue strength at elevated temperatures is strongly dependent on testing frequency. This behavior is correlated with the strain rate dependence of tensile strength. Fatigue crack initiation sites and propagation modes in MA 753 are discussed as a function of temperature and microstructure and compared to those in the conventional superalloy. The transition from transgranular to intergranular fracture mode in MA 753 occurs at a higher temperature than found in conventional nickel-base superalloys. While the γ’ precipitate controls the fatigue strength at low and intermediate temperatures, the oxide dispersoid and carbides also affect deformation in this temperature range. At elevated temperatures, fatigue deformation is controlled by the dispersoid and carbides.
