Abstract

Fatigue tests under multiaxial loading were conducted on Ni-based superalloy GH4169 tubular specimens. The microstructures of fracture surfaces under different loading paths were compared. Several multiaxial fatigue criteria were reviewed and evaluated with multiaxial fatigue test data. The criteria of equivalent strain, maximum shear strain and Kandil–Brown–Miller provided unsatisfactory results for GH4169. Fatemi–Socie and Wu–Hu–Song parameters showed better life prediction abilities for this material. Minor modification has been introduced in Wu–Hu–Song parameter. The material constants of modified Wu–Hu–Song criterion are only dependent on torsional fatigue tests. The satisfactory prediction results based on modified Wu–Hu–Song model were obtained for GH4169.
