    Abstract

    This project has attempted to quantitatively describe and model the effect of corrosion pitting on the high-cycle fatigue behaviour of engineering components, using a novel fracture mechanics approach. The work has incorporated into the model not only crack initiation and growth parameters but also the interactive effects of corrosion pit nucleation and growth kinetics. The results of a 13% Cr turbine blade steel are reported. With respect to the scatter of the measured values, the modelling results are in good agreement with the experiments.
