Abstract
This report contains cycle stress-relaxation data for Udimet 700 and Rene 41, tested at an initial tensile means stress of 60,000 psii and a temperature of 1300°F. The tubular specimens were heated internally by a resistance heating element. Other features of the apparatus developed for this investigation are given. This apparatus permits the application of a constant amplitude of alternating strain about a fixed mean strain. Under these conditions, the mean stress is measured as a function of the number of cycles of repeated strain. Fatigue fracture data are also reported. The relaxation of mean stress measured in this investigation is similar to the relaxation of residual stress in parts which are subjected to high temperature and fatigue loading in service. This investigation shows that if a part is intended to last only a few thousand cycles, the initial residual stresses can be ignored since the fatigue loading will cause them to relax to zero. If the part is designed to last a large number of cycles, the initial residual stresses should be treated as part of the service stresses since little relaxation occurs near the fatigue limit.
