Hot Salt Stress Corrosion Studies.
Abstract
Effects of various flight-cycle simulations, maximum temperature, and microstructure were investigated using a concept analogous to a low-cycle fatigue (LCF) study. Isothermal stress cycling increased HSSC threshold stress over static loading. Simultaneous stress/temperature cycling increased threshold stress (and cyclic life) over isothermal stress cycling. A simple takeoff/shutdown dwell simulation produced the highest test results of the thermal-mechanical cycles investigated, with no significant effect from the addition of idle and cruise components. HSSC susceptibility increased with increasing maximum cyclic temperature. Alpha-beta processed material showed better resistance to HSSC than did beta material.
