The scanning electron microscopy was adopted to identify the fracture features of specimen in FGH97
which had been tested under the conditions of stress-ratio of 0.05
750℃ and various dwell times. It was found that
for dwell time of 90s
the fatigue striation feature gradually disappeared with the increment of the stress intensity factor range values
and the turning point of neglecting fatigue loads located at the medium stress intensity factor range evel. But the corresponding stress intensity factor range values located at the lower levels for 450s and 1500s dwell time. Based on the trinomial model including fatigue item
creep item and creep-fatigue interaction item
the time-dependent and cycle-dependent components were employed to describe the test data of creep-fatigue crack growth in FGH97. The proportions of contribution to crack growth rate (CGR) of the two components are significantly influenced by stress intensity factor range values at different dwell times. The model for describing the time-dependent crack growth rate is proposed according to the analysis results. Furthermore
the stress intensity factor range values
which could affect the predominant factor of time-dependent component or time-dependent and cycle-dependent component on CGR
