The Effect of Casting Temperature on the Fatigue Properties of Cast Nickel Aluminide Alloys

The results of high cycle fatigue tests at 650 deg C on several cast Ni sub 3 Al alloys are reported and compared with cast IN-713C. These alloys include IC-221M and several variations to the IC-221M composition. The effect of casting temperature is investigated using castings poured at three differ...

Zusammenfassung:The results of high cycle fatigue tests at 650 deg C on several cast Ni sub 3 Al alloys are reported and compared with cast IN-713C. These alloys include IC-221M and several variations to the IC-221M composition. The effect of casting temperature is investigated using castings poured at three different temperatures spanning a 56 deg C range. The results show that IC-221M cast at the highest temperature has the best fatigue strength, exceeding that for IN--713C. In these alloys, crack initiation occurs at shrinkage microporosity and the effect of casting temperature on porosity is related to the observed differences in fatigue lives.
