title = "Ultrasonic fatigue of a nickel-base turbine disk alloy at room and elevated temperatures",
abstract = "Understanding the relationship between fatigue damage and the underlying microstructure is of paramount importance to predict the response of a turbine disk alloy under service conditions. The recent development of ultrasonic fatigue techniques allows rapid determination of microstructural neighborhoods that are responsible for initiation of fatigue damage. An ultrasonic fatigue testing system capable of testing at temperatures as high as 800°C and at positive mean stresses will be described. The characterization of ultrasonic (20 kHz) fatigue behavior of the nickel-base superalloy Rene' 88 DT in the lifetime regime of 105 to 109 at 20 and 593°C with a stress-ratio of 0.05 is described. The crack initiation sites in this alloy were favorably oriented large grains and inclusions. Small crack growth behavior obtained by initiating cracks from micronotches machined with femtosecond pulsed lasers was studied.",
