Powder metallurgy superalloys are important materials for manufacturing aero engine turbine disks which are subjected to loading in the forms of fatigue and creep-fatigue in service. In order to meet the increasing demands for advanced aero engines with high thrust-weight ratios, a novel generation of Ni-based powder metallurgy superalloy FGH98 was developed, which was expected to have high strength and good damage tolerance property. For the sake of examining the fatigue crack growth resistance of FGH98, the fatigue crack growth rate of this novel superalloy was investigated at 650 ℃ in air and then compared with those of the first two generations of powder metallurgy superalloys FGH95 and FGH96. The effects of microstructures and hold--time on the fatigue crack growth behavior of FGH98 were studied. It was found that the fatigue crack growth resistance of FGH98 was significantly improved in comparison with those of FGH95 and FGH96. Conducting proper cooling methods after solution could make the secondary and tertiaryγ’ phase precipitate in a uniform order, causing that the alloy could have good fatigue crack propagation resistance. It was also found that FGH98 with coarser grains showed a lower fatigue crack growth rate, especially in the near--threshold regime, and its fatigue crack growth rate increased with increasing hold-time, and correspondingly, its fracture mode changed from a mixture of transgranular-intergranular into pure intergranular.
