Effects of a single overload on fatigue crack growth rate have been investigated at elevated temperatures in an Fe-Ni-base superalloy which has different levels of strength and ductility through different heat treatments. All the overload tests were conducted under the condition of constant load with CCT specimen. Crack length was monitored by using d. c. potential-drop technique. It is clear that the effect of overload represented by retardation cycles, N_D, is decreased at elevated temperatures but still of significance up to 700℃. The peak level of overload stress intensity factor, K_(o.p)., the overload ratio, r, the material yield stress, σ_y, and the crack length, a, at which an overload is applied have great influence on the post overload retardation, behaviour of fatigue crack growth. The retardation cycles, measured at 650℃, can be expressed by the following equation:N_D=N_0exp[m(r/aσ_y)~K_(o.p.)]Conditions of heat treatments have great influence on the effects of overloads. Alloy A with higher ductility and lower yield strength shows greater retardation effect than alloy W under the same overload conditions. The fracture surfaces of specimens subjected to overloading at elevated temperatures have been observed by using optical steromicroscope and SEM along with the measurements of the change of potential drops during the overload tests. Some explanations have been given.
