Abstract
Strain-controlled low cycle fatigue (LCF) and creep-fatigue interaction (CFI) tests of an equiaxed crystal nicke-base superalloy were conducted at 850oC in order to investigate the effects of different dwell times and strain ratios on the fatigue behavior and life distribution. The cyclic damage accumulation (CDA) method and modified CDA method were employed to predict the fatigue life for the superalloy under complex loading condition, respectively. CDA method is employed to predict the fatigue life for the superalloy and the predicted fatigue life is within the scatter band of±6X. The fatigue life predicted by the modified CDA method agrees very well with the experimental fatigue life and the predicted fatigue life is well within the scatter band of±3X, which means that the modified CDA method is able to consider the influences of dwell time and strain ratio on the fatigue life for the superalloy.
