Abstract

Fatigue resistance of the nickel alloy KhN55MVTs is investigated in the range of 550–1000°C temperatures and 102–107-cycle durabilities. The alloy is recommended for manufacturing large-size equipment to operate at up to 950°C for prolonged periods. It is shown that, in the initial post-heat treatment state, the alloy displays adequately high resistance to cyclic loads in the short-time range but, in the multicycle range, is inferior in durability to a series of materials used in gas-turbine engineering. To a lesser extent, this difference is observed for specimens of the alloy subjected to prolonged high-temperature holding. Durability of the alloy increases with increase in degree of alloying with zirconium.
