The fracture behavior and deformation mechanism of a new casting Ni-based superalloy K4750 during strain-controlled low cycle fatigue (LCF) and stress-controlled high cycle fatigue (HCF) at 600 °C were investigated. The crack in LCF originated from surface and propagated perpendicular to the loading direction in a striations-assisted Stage II manner. Whereas, the crack in HCF mostly initiated at large-size inclusions and its propagation followed a crystallographic Stage I mode. The microstructures controlling the alloy failure in the two tests were also different. The crack propagation in LCF was accelerated by MC carbides which induced second cracks in front of the primary crack tip. By contrast, the formation of crack in HCF was more affected by the inclusion, grain size and grain orientation. Their presence in unfavorable forms led to premature failure of the alloy and a substantial scatter in the stress-life data. In addition, STEM observation showed that the deformation in LCF occurred on multiple parallel {111} planes with high density of entangled dislocations. The produced slip bands were in close proximity with average spacing below 0.1 μm. However, the distribution of slip bands in HCF was more isolated with separation up to a few microns. The dislocations in slip bands often traversed the γ/γ′ structure in pairs as constrained by the anti-phase boundary in γ′ phase. The heterogeneous deformation in highly isolated slip bands was deemed to account for the Stage I cracking in HCF, which was discussed in this study.
