Fatigue Life of a NiCr-Coated Powder Metallurgy Disk Superalloy After Varied Processing and Exposures

A protective ductile NiCr coating has shown promise to mitigate oxidation and corrosion attack on superalloy disk alloys. The effects of this coating on fatigue life and failure modes of the disk superalloy are an important concern. The objective of this study was to investigate the fatigue life and failure modes of disk superalloy specimens protected by this coating, using varied pre-coating and post-coating processes. Cylindrical gage fatigue specimens of a powder metallurgy-processed disk superalloy were grit blast or wet blast before being coated with a ductile NiCr coating, then shot peened at low or medium levels after coating. All were then heat treated, some exposed, and finally all were subjected to fatigue at high temperature. The effects of varied pre-coating treatment, post-coating shot peening, and oxidation plus hot corrosion exposures on fatigue life with the coating were compared.
