Abstract
Gas-tungsten-arc weldments in Alloy 718 were studied in fatigue-crack growth tests conducted at five temperatures over the range 24–649°C. In general, crack growth rates increased with increasing temperature, and weldments given the “conventional” post-weld heat-treatment generally exhibited crack growth rates that were higher than for weldments given the “modified” (INEL) heat-treatment. Limited testing in the as-welded condition revealed crack growth rates significantly lower than observed for the heat-treated cases, and this was attributed to residual stresses. Three different heats of filler wire were utilized, and no heat-to-heat variations were noted.
