The Durability Assessment Methodology of Power Engineering Equipment Under Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue Using the Example of the HR6W Alloy
Michał Paduchowicz, Tomasz Dobosz, Artur Górski
TL;DR
This paper introduces a new method to assess how long power equipment can last under extreme heat and mechanical stress using the HR6W alloy as an example.
Contribution
The novelty lies in integrating lab tests, real-world data, and simulations to estimate durability under thermo-mechanical fatigue.
Findings
Durability is estimated using Coffin–Manson and Ostergren parameters with cycle-to-failure data.
Critical plane orientation is determined in regions most prone to fatigue damage.
The methodology allows correlation of simulation results with experimental data for incremental durability loss.
Abstract
This article presents an innovative methodology for assessing the durability of power engineering components under thermo-mechanical fatigue conditions. The approach integrates laboratory low-cycle fatigue tests of alloy specimens at elevated temperatures, measurements of working-medium parameters obtained from operating industrial equipment, and numerical simulations performed using the finite element method. Durability is estimated on the basis of curves describing the relationships between critical parameters such as the Coffin–Manson and Ostergren parameters and the number of cycles to failure. Within the region of the structure identified as the most susceptible to fatigue damage, the orientation of the critical plane is determined with respect to the corresponding criterion functions. This allows the calculated criterion values to be correlated with experimental data, enabling the…
