Very-High-Cycle-Fatigue of in-service air-engine blades, compressor and turbine

In-service Very-High-Cycle-Fatigue(VHCF)regime of compressor vane and turbine rotor blades of the Al-based alloy VD-17and superalloy GS6K,respectively,was considered.Surface crack origination occurred at the lifetime more than 1500 hours for vanes and after 550 hours for turbine blades.Performed fractographic investigations have shown that subsurface crack origination in vanes took place inspite of corrosion pittings on the blade surface.This material behavior reflected lifetime limit that was reached by the criterion VHCF.In superalloy GS6K subsurface fatigue cracking took place with the appearance of flat facet.This phenomenon was discussed and compared with specimens cracking of the same superalloy but prepared by the powder technology.In turbine blades VHCF regime appeared because of resonance of blades under the influenced gas stream.Both cases of compressor-vanes and turbine blades in-service cracking were discussed with crack growth period and stress equivalent estimations.Recommendations to continue aircrafts airworthiness were made for in-service blades.     

镧增加铝合金熔体氢含量的实验分析

采用第一滴气泡法和减压凝固法分析测量了一定量的稀土镧加入前后的铝硅合金熔体氢含量和铝硅合金凝固试样剖面的针孔和气孔的变化，发现镧的加入量超过一定量(0．3％)时，铝合金熔体中的氢含量增加，铝合金凝固试样的针孔和气孔增多。可以认为：一定量的稀土镧引起铝合金增氢现象的原因是镧中含有氢。同时，讨论了镧中氢的来源和含量对铝合金中氢的影响。     

含表面裂纹铝合金焊缝低温断裂性能

本文采用表面裂纹法，利用自行研制的低温多试样拉伸装置，研究了一种航天铝合金材料的焊缝在低温下（２０Ｋ）的断裂性能，并对断口进行了电镜显微分析，为提高质量的焊接提供了依据。
