Therefore static and the dynamic calibrations of the temperature measurement devices were compared by a custom-built calibration specimen, which included five internal mantle thermocouples. Additionally the temperatures were measured on the specimens' surface. The experimental setups used were compared by executing TMF pre-test with the identical single-crystalline specimen. Subsequently TMF tests on coated single-crystalline Nickel-based superalloy PWA 1484 were carried out with temperature rates of 10K/s and 20 K/s. Finally the deviations of the determined TMF lives were evaluated.}, language = {en} } @article{SpachtholzAffeldtMaieretal., author = {Spachtholz, Josef and Affeldt, Ernst Eugen and Maier, Hans J{\"u}rgen and Hammer, Joachim}, title = {Modelling of the fatigue crack growth of a coated single crystalline nickel based superalloy under thermal mechanical loading}, series = {International Journal of Fatigue}, volume = {116}, journal = {International Journal of Fatigue}, number = {November}, publisher = {Elsevier}, doi = {10.1016/j.ijfatigue.2018.06.015}, pages = {268 -- 274}, abstract = {The focus of this paper is the simulation of fatigue crack growth of the coated single crystalline nickel-based superalloy PWA 1484 under thermal mechanical loading. Thus, two physical models are superimposed in terms to firstly calculate the deformation behavior under instationary thermal and mechanical loading (TMF) and secondly to model crack propagation after initial brittle cracking of the coating layer on the basis of cyclic crack tip opening displacement (CTOD). All material parameters implemented in the models were evaluated from monotonic isothermal tensile and creep tests as well as from isothermal low cycle fatigue (LCF) experiments. The calculated fatigue crack growth was validated by in situ crack growth measurements using the beachmark technique. Hence, crack propagation initiated by the brittle coating system closely to the experimental results using rectangular flat specimen geometry instead of corner-crack (CC) specimens. The comparison of the simulated lifetimes to the experimental results provides remarkable accuracy of the physically-based lifetime model.}, language = {en} }
