Creep-fatigue damage in Inconel 738LC was clarified by in-situ observation
and a new creep-fatigue life prediction model was proposed based on the mec
hanism identified. Creep-fatigue tests on standard specimens show that the
tensile hold creep-fatigue lives were reduced to 60 to 80 percent and those
in the compressive hold condition were reduced to 20 to 40 percent of the
fatigue life of the same total strain condition. In-situ creep-fatigue test
s on miniature specimens show that grain boundary sliding could be observed
under the compressive strain hold condition and under the tensile strain h
old condition grain boundary cavity damage and grain boundary sliding were
observed These mechanisms are regarded as the main cause of the damage acce
leration under the creep-fatigue loading conditions. Therefore, the new cre
ep-fatigue life prediction model, which is based on the nonlinear damage ac
cumulation method, employed two damage acceleration parameters ''d(sl)'' an
d ''d(cr)'' which represent grain boundary sliding damage and grain boundar
y cavity damage, respectively. Creep-fatigue lives of the test results were
well predicted by the proposed model. [S0094-4289(00)01203-2].
