Research on the Fatigue of Small Impulse Turbine Blade Based on the Numerical Simulation and Experimental Tests by Shijie Liu, Guozhu Liang, Jichao Liu, Yichuan Yang, Hui Wang

“…Finally, the microstructural structures of the specimen are detected using the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results show that (1) different from the aviation field, the specimen is unable to be machined with the welding method because it destroys the crucial details and the mechanical properties; (2) the maximum plastic strain is present at the leading edge close to the hub, at which a 760 μm corner crack appears at the 10113th fatigue cycle. …”
