Title: The Fatigue Behavior of Dispersion Strengthened Nickel
Authors: Wayman, Michael
Advisor: Ham, R. K.
Department: Metallurgy
Keywords: fatigue behavior;dispersion;strengthened nickel;nickel
Publication Date: May-1966
Abstract: Fatigue and dispersion strengthening are reviewed generally. Experiments are described in which thin film transmission electron microscopy, as well as optical and electron fractography were employed to elucidate the mechanism of fatigue failure in dispersion strengthened nickel. It was found that whereas fatigue crack initiation occurs as in conventional materials, the propagation of both fatigue and tensile cracks is abnormal. The material fails in shear wherever possible although this is prevented where triaxial tensile stresses exist. Particle-matrix detachment does not occur during either tensile or fatigue stressing.
