Fatigue Properties

Strain-Controlled LCF Properties (Hot-Rolled Plate)

HAYNES® 242® alloy exhibits excellent low cycle fatigue properties at elevated temperature. Results shown below are for strain-controlled tests run in the temperature range from 800 to 1400°F (425 to 760°C). Samples were machined from plate. Tests were run with fully reversed strain (R=-1) at a frequency of 20 cpm (0.33 Hz).

Stress-Controlled Notched LCF Properties (Hot-Rolled Rings)

The following test results were generated from hot-rolled and fully heat-treated rings destined for actual gas turbine engine part applications. Testing was performed in the tangential direction utilizing a round test bar geometry with a double notch design (Kt=2.18). Loading was uniaxial cycling with an R-ratio of 0.05 stress and a cycle frequency of 20 cpm (0.33 Hz).
