Characterization of Void Growth in High Temperature Fatigued Copper through USANS Guangjun Cheng Stephen Fenimore Rohan Hule Jinkee Lee Christopher Metting Maria Torija
Outline • USANS • Problem background • Experimental design • Analysis • Results • Conclusions
Low q range 3x10-5 Å-1 < q < 0.01 Å-1 Particle Diameter: 0.1 μ m < D < 10 μm USANS Capabilities
Fatigue causes voids in copper lattice Voids grow nucleate at grain boundaries Lead to mechanical failure Relationship between stress and void growth Problem Background
Experimental Design • Fatigue conditions • 405 oC • 17 cycles/second • Max stress amplitude: 34 MPa • Monitor void growth by varying the number of fatigue cycles • 25,000; 50,000; 100,000 cycles • USANS to examine growth shape and size
Reduced Slit Smeared USANS Data Slope= -1 (plate) Slope= -3 (Porod)
Porod Scattering, 100,000 cycles Intercept ~surface area/sample volume -3 3
Invariant Area under curve ~ Volume Fraction
Modified Guinier (plate) m= -T2/12
Comparison with prior work Scripta Met. 24 (1990) 227-232
Conclusions • USANS proved to be a powerful tool for this investigation • Average volume increases with cycle number • Number of nucleation sites is independent of the number of cycles
HURRAY for USANS!Thanks to John Barker, Man-Ho Kim, and David Mildner Questions?
