The actual part qualification and certification procedures make use of spin-tests conducted on production-similar disks. While these tests provide, on the one hand, a reliable definition of the critical conditions for real components, on the other hand they represent a relevant cost item for engine manufacturers. The aim of this work is to present two alternative burst speed assessment methods under development based on the Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD) and a global stability criterion, respectively. In the scope of the fracture mechanics assessment, the failure modes hoop-burst and rim-peeling are investigated with semicircular surface cracks modelled at the critical regions on the turbine disk. The comparison of the predicted critical rotational speed shows good agreement between the assessment methods.

T1 - Dislocations interacting with a pore in an elastically anisotropic single crystal nickel-base superalloy during hot isostatic pressing JF - Computational materials science N2 - The formation of pores in CMSX-4 nickel based superalloys is detrimental to the service life of the material. A way to avoid the problem is to treat the superalloys under Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP), which enables a large volume fraction of pores to be annihilated. This paper aims to understand the contribution of plastic activity related to the gliding of dislocations on the pore annihilation. Simulations based on a phase-field model of dislocation are performed and make it possible to consider the strong anisotropy of the CMSX-4 under HIP conditions in conjunction to the strong elastic heterogeneity introduced by the pore. For pores with a radius of few micrometers, it is shown that edge parts of dislocation lines that present an extra half atomic plane oriented towards the pore are stacked above and under it in the direction which is perpendicular to their slip-planes, causing an increase of the number of dislocation along the four octahedral directions of the FCC single crystal which intersect the pore center. Results are streamlined within the isotropic elastic theory of dislocations. Effects of elastic anisotropy and dislocation reactions are also investigated in order to specify what would be the dislocation configuration around a pore in CMSX-4 under HIP conditions. Notably, the elastic anisotropy is shown to significantly modify the arrangement of dislocations close to the pore equator. Simulations also allow for the characterization of pore/dislocation interactions when dislocations are involved in Low Angle Boundaries as experimentally observed.

Proceedings of the 44th MPA-Seminar N2 - The current competitive situation on electricity markets forces power plants into cyclic operation regimes with frequent load shifts and starts/shutdowns. In the present work, the cyclic mechanical behavior of ferritic-martensitic 9-12 % Cr steels under isothermal and thermomechanical loading was investigated for the example of grade P92 material. A continuous softening was observed under all loading conditions. The introduction of hold periods to the applied cycles reduced material lifetime, with most prominent effects at technologically relevant small strain levels. The microstructural characterization reveals a coarsening of the original “martensitic” lath-type microstructure to a structure with polygonal subgrains and reduced dislocation density. The microstructural data forms the input for a physically-based modelling approach.

Two classes of lifetime models are considered, namely, the incremental lifetime rules and the parametric models governed by the fracture mechanics concept. Examples of application to an austenitic cast iron are presented. In addition, computational techniques to accelerate the time integration of the incremental models throughout the fatigue loading history are discussed. They efficiently solve problems where a stabilized response of a component is not observed, for example due to the plastic strain which is no longer completely reversed and accumulates throughout the fatigue history. The performance of such an accelerated Integration technique is demonstrated for a finite element simulation of a viscoplastic solid under repeating loading–unloading cycles.

Due to its great importance for industrial applications, a remarkable amount of research has been devoted to understanding the underlying deformation mechanism in a wide spectrum of temperature and loading conditions. Additive manufactured (AM) nickel-based superalloys while being governed by similar γ-γ’ microstructure, exhibit AM-process specific microstructural characteristics, such as columnar grains, strong crystallographic texture (typically <001> fiber texture parallel to build direction) and compositional inhomogeneity, which in turn leads to anisotropic creep response in both stationary and tertiary phases. Despite the deep insights achieved recently on the correlation between process parameters and the resulting microstructure, the anisotropic creep behavior and corresponding deformation mechanism of these materials are insufficiently understood so far. One reason for this is the lack of capable material models that can link the microstructure to the mechanical behavior. To overcome this challenge, a multiscale microstructure-based approach has been applied by coupling crystal plasticity (CP) and polycrystal model which enables the inclusion of different deformation mechanisms and microstructural characteristics such as crystallographic texture and grain morphology. The method has been applied to experimental data for AM-manufactured INCONEL-738LC (IN738). The effect of different slip systems, texture, and morphology on creep anisotropy at 850°C has been investigated. Results suggest a strong correlation between superlattice extrinsic stacking fault (SESF) and microtwinning and observed creep anisotropy. T2 - EUROMAT 23 CY - Frankfurt a.

This is centrally rooted in the nature of the processing, leading to complex microstructural features. Experimentally-guided modeling can offer reliable solutions for the safe application of additively manufactured materials. In this work, we combine a set of systematic experiments and modeling to address creep anisotropy and its correlation with microstructural characteristics in laser-based powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) additively manufactured Inconel-738LC (IN738LC). Three sample orientations (with the tensile axis parallel, perpendicular, and 45° tilted, relative to the building direction) are crept at 850 °C, accompanied by electron backscatter secondary diffraction (EBSD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations. A crystal plasticity (CP) model for Ni-base superalloys, capable of modeling different types of slip systems, is developed and combined with various polycrystalline representative volume elements (RVEs) built on the experimental measurements. Besides our experiments, we verify our modeling framework on electron beam powder bed fusion (PBF-EB/M) additively manufactured Inconel-738LC. The results of our simulations show that while the crystallographic texture alone cannot explain the observed creep anisotropy, the superlattice extrinsic stacking faults (SESF) and related microtwinning slip systems play major roles as active deformation mechanisms. We confirm this using TEM investigations, revealing evidence of SESFs in crept specimens. We also show that the elongated grain morphology can result in higher creep rates, especially in the specimens with a tilted tensile axis.

In contrast to previous studies, the low-strain regime is also illuminated, which approaches flexible operation in a power plant with start/stop cycles. At all strain amplitudes, the material performance is characterized by continuous cyclic softening, which is retarded in tests at lower strains but reaches similar magnitudes in the course of testing. In the investigated temperature range, the phase angle does not affect fatigue life in continuous experiments, whereas the IP condition is more detrimental in tests with dwells. Fractographic analyses indicate creep-dominated and fatigue-dominated damage for IP and OP, respectively. Analyses of the (micro)hardness distribution in the tested specimens suggest an enhanced microstructural softening in tests with dwell times for the low- but not for the high-strain regime. To rationalize the obtained fatigue data, the fracture-mechanics-based D_TMF concept, which was developed for TMF life assessment of ductile alloys, was applied. It is found that the D_TMF parameter correlates well with the measured fatigue lives, suggesting that subcritical growth of cracks (with sizes from a few microns to a few millimeters) governs failure in the investigated range of strain amplitudes.

However, the mutual combination of different loadings (e.g., creep and fatigue), due to a “flexible” operation of power plants, may seriously reduce the lifetimes of the respective components. In the present study, low cycle fatigue (LCF) and relaxation fatigue (RF) tests performed on grade P92 helped to understand the behavior of ferritic–martensitic steels under a combined loading. The softening and lifetime behavior strongly depend on the temperature and total strain range. Especially at small strain amplitudes, the lifetime is seriously reduced when adding a hold time which indicates the importance of considering technically relevant small strains.

T1 - Numerical calculation of 𝛥CTOD to simulate fatigue crack growth under large scale viscoplastic deformations JF - Engineering Fracture Mechanics N2 - Crack propagation under low cycle fatigue and thermomechanical fatigue is characterized by high plastic and creep strains that extend over large regions around the crack, so that concepts of linear-elastic fracture mechanics cannot be applied. In these cases, the cyclic crack tip opening displacement 𝛥CTOD is a promising loading parameter to quantify crack growth. In this work, suitable definitions and Finite Element techniques are investigated and compared for an accurate calculation of 𝛥CTOD under cyclic mechanical and/or thermal loading. A viscoplastic temperature dependent material model of Chaboche-type is used along with large strain settings, specified for the austenitic cast iron Ni-resist. Extensive two-dimensional analyses of Single Edge Notch Tension specimens revealed that collapsed special crack tip elements are superior compared with commonly used regular quadrilateral 8-node elements. At the same level of accuracy of 𝛥CTOD, they require an about ten times coarser mesh and show less sensitivity w.r.t. element size for both stationary and propagating cracks. In order to simulate fatigue crack growth, an efficient, fully automated FE-technique is developed for an incremental crack propagation by successive remeshing, whereby the deformations and internal state variables are mapped from the old mesh onto the new one. Recommendations are made regarding important numerical control parameters like optimal size of crack tip elements, length of crack growth increment in relation to plastic zone size and 𝛥CTOD value.

T1 - TMF-Rissverlaufsberechnung für ATL-Heißteile T2 - Tagungsband der FVV N2 - Die Steigerung der Leistung und des thermodynamischen Wirkungsgrades von Verbrennungsmotoren führt zu erhöhten Anforderungen an die Festigkeit abgasführender Komponenten wie z. Bsp. Abgasturbolader. Als Folge erhöhter thermomechanischer Wechselbeanspruchungen (TMF) im Betrieb kommt es an den mechanisch und/oder thermisch höchst beanspruchten Stellen der Bauteile zur Bildung von Rissen, wodurch die Lebensdauer der Komponenten begrenzt wird. Derzeit werden bei Turboladern heißgehende Bauteile mit detektierten Rissen zumeist prophylaktisch ersetzt, da die weitere Ausbreitung der Risse während des Betriebs nicht vorhergesagt werden kann. Um diese aufwändige und un- ökonomische Praxis zu vermeiden, wurde im vorliegenden Forschungsvorhaben eine rechnerische Bewertungsmethode auf Basis der experimentellen und numerischen Bruchmechanik erarbeitet, mit deren Hilfe bereits in der Auslegungsphase oder während des Betriebs die (restliche) Lebensdauer der abgasführenden Komponenten vorhergesagt werden kann. Damit wird erstmalig die quantitative Vorhersage der Rissentwicklung bei TMF-Beanspruchungsbedingungen unter Berücksichtigung großer zyklischer viskoplastischer Verformungen ermöglicht. Zentrales Ergebnis des Vorhabens ist eine automatisierte Berechnungsprozedur auf der Basis spezieller Finite-Elemente-Techniken (FEM), womit sowohl der Pfad als auch die Größe eines Risses als Funktion der Anzahl der Lastwechsel in Bauteilen unter TMF-Bedingungen berechnet werden kann. Als geeigneter Beanspruchungsparameter zur Bewertung des Rissfortschritts unter TMF wurde die zyklische Rissöffnungsverschiebung ΔCTOD verwendet. Das Werkstoffverhalten des betrachteten austenitischen Gusseisens Ni-Resist D-5S wurde mit einem validierten viskoplastischen, temperaturabhängigen Materialmodell modelliert, das zur Berücksichtigung große Verzerrungen und Rotationen am Riss erweitert wurde. Für die genaue Berechnung des ΔCTOD bei TMF wurden effiziente FEM-Techniken erarbeitet. Zur Simulation der Rissausbreitung wurde ein automatischer FEM-Algorithmus mit inkrementeller adaptiver Neuvernetzung entwickelt, bei dem die Verformungen und inelastischen Zustandsvariablen jeweils vom alten auf das neue Netz übertragen werden. Dieser Algorithmus wurde im Software-Paket ProCrackPlast implementiert, das in Verbindung mit dem kommerziellen FEM-Code Abaqus zur Lösung dreidimensionaler Rissprobleme zur Verfügung steht. Ziel der umfangreichen experimentellen Arbeiten war es, an isothermen LCF und anisothermen TMF-Versuchen mit gekerbten Flachzugproben (SENT) das Risswachstum im Temperaturbereich von 20 °C bis 700 °C zu ermitteln. Mit Hilfe begleitender 2D FEM Simulationen wurden anhand dieser Datenbasis die Rissfortschrittskurven des Werkstoffs unter Anwendung des ΔCTOD-Konzepts bestimmt und in geeigneter, parametrisierter Form den Nutzern zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Versuche an SENT-Proben wurden mit der entwickelten Software ProCrackPlast als 3D Modell simuliert. Der Vergleich der 2D und 3D Simulationen ergab einen systematischen Unterschied im CTOD und CTOD, der mit Hilfe eines Übertragungsfaktors korrigiert wurde. Der Vergleich der 3D Berechnungen mit den Experimenten zeigte eine zufriedenstellende Übereinstimmung der er- reichten Risslänge mit der Zahl der Lastzyklen im gesamten Temperaturbereich, wobei die numerische Prognose meist auf der konservativen / sicheren Seite lag. Die Übertragbarkeit der Ergebnisse der 2D Parameteridentifikation auf 3D Risskonfigurationen mit Mixed-Mode Beanspruchung ist mit zusätzlichen Versagenshypothesen verbunden, die aufgrund fehlender Versuchsdaten im Vorhaben nicht endgültig geklärt werden konnten. Zur Validierung des Gesamtkonzeptes wurden LCF-Proben mit einem bauteil- typischen Oberflächenriss experimentell und numerisch untersucht. In der Simulation konnte die komplexe Form und Größe der Rissentwicklung zufriedenstellend (richtig) vorhergesagt werden. Die Leis- tungsfähigkeit der erarbeiteten rechnerische Bewertungsmethode wurde an weiteren TMF-Beispielen vorgestellt und diskutiert. Die Software ProCrackPlast und die viskoplastische Materialroutine wurden dem Anwenderkreis des Vorhabens zusammen mit einem Nutzer-Handbuch und Verifikationsbeispielen zur Verfügung gestellt. Das Ziel des Forschungsvorhabens ist erreicht worden.
