Abstract

The fatigue behaviour of the nickel based superalloy RR1000 is characterised using double edge notch specimens incorporating shot peening. Evaluations were conducted at two test temperatures, 300 °C and 650 °C, employing baseline and dwell waveforms. The effects of air and vacuum environments plus prior exposure at 650 °C were also assessed. It is demonstrated that surface oxidation does not control performance at the test conditions of interest. Rather, the modification to stabilized peak and mean stresses resulting from either thermal relaxation of peened stresses or a time dependent shake down of stress under mechanical loading governs ultimate behaviour.
