Abstract

The elastic-plastic fracture toughness (JIc) response of precipitation strengthened Alloy A-286 has been evaluated by the multi-specimen R-curve technique at room temperature, 700 K (800°F) and 811 K (1000°F). The fracture toughness of this iron-base superalloy was found to decrease with increasing temperature. This phenomenon was attributed to a reduction in the materials’s strength and ductility at elevated temperatures. Electron fractographic examination revealed that the overall fracture surface micromorphology, a duplex dimple structure coupled with stringer troughs, was independent of test temperature. In addition, the fracture resistance of Alloy A-286 was found to be weakened by the presence of a nonuniform distribution of second phase particles throughout the matrix.
