Abstract

The fatigue test at high-temperature of selective laser melting Ni-based superalloy was performed to reveal the mechanism of interior cracking behavior by multiple analysis methods in the very-high-cycle-fatigue regime. Due to the inhibition effect of oxide layer, the interior multi-defects assisted facetted cracking becomes a significant failure mode. Large grain deformation mainly occurs on the fracture surface, and slip systems with high Schmid factor are activated by high-temperature. The precipitates in the matrix hinder the dislocation movement, resulting in dislocation accumulation and stress concentration increase, which makes it easier for microcracks initiation. The initiated microcracks with crack deflection caused by high angle grain boundaries propagate transgranularly to form a nearly circular region and undergo fast unstable growth, eventually leading to fracture. • The microcracks propagate transgranularly along the maximum shear stress plane. • {111}<112> slip system with high Schmid factor is activated by high-temperature. • Interior multi-defects assisted facetted cracking is the predominant failure mode.
