Abstract

Alloy 617 is one of the primary candidate materials to be used in a very high temperature reactor (VHTR) system as an intermediate heat exchanger (IHX). To investigate the low cycle fatigue behavior of Alloy 617 weldments at a high temperature of $850^{\circ}C$, fully reversed strain-controlled fatigue tests were conducted with the total strain values ranging from 0.6~1.5％. The weldment specimens were machined using the weld pads fabricated with a single V-grove configuration by gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. The fatigue life is reduced as the total strain range increases. For all testing conditions, the cyclic stress response behavior of the Alloy 617 weldments exhibited the initial cyclic strain hardening phenomenon during the initial small number of cycles. Furthermore, the overall fatigue cracking and the propagation or cracks showed a transgranular failure mode.

Alloy 617은 초고온가스로(VHTR)의 중간열교환기(IHX)의 유력한 후보 재료 중의 하나이다. $850^{\circ}C$의 고온에서 Alloy 617 용접재의 저사이클 피로 거동을 고찰하기 위하여, 완전 양진 변형률제어 피로시험이 0.6에서 1.5%의 전변형률범위에서 수행되었다. 용접재 시험편은 V-그루브 형상의 가스텅그스텐아크 용접한 용접 패드로부터 가공되었다. 피로수명은 전변형률범위가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 모든 실험조건에서 Alloy 617 용접재 시험편의 반복 응력 반응 거동은 초기 수 사이클에서 반복 변형률 경화현상을 나타내었다. 또한 모든 피로 균열의 발생과 전파는 입내파괴의 파손 모드를 보였다.
