Different strain amplitudes and phase-angles were applied. Total strain controlled low cycle fatigue test was also performed at the peak temperature of TMF cycling. The results show that the cyclic stress response of the material displayed an initial hardening regime followed by a saturation period and then cyclic softening till failure. The TMF cycling leads to the development of significant amounts of mean stress. Some life prediction models were employed to predict the TMF life of Z2CND18.12N, and the results indicate that the energy-based models provide good prediction on the thermal-mechanical fatigue behaviors of this material. An optical microscopic observation shows that the surface crack initiations and crack propagations are typically transgranular mode.展开更多
