The multi-source fatigue crack growth characteristics of a turbine disk were studied via high-speed rotating low cycle fatigue test, fracture analysis and crack growth simulation analysis. The results show that the fatigue initiation life N0 of Superalloy disk and its simulation parts is less dispersive and similar, and the S-N0 curve of the material is not conservative to predict the N0 of the disk. The fracture of eccentric hole of disk is multi-source fatigue fracture, and the surface characteristic of the crack L/D decreases rapidly from 7.5 to 2, which is obviously different from the single source fatigue crack growth. Because of the long and thin stress distribution at the eccentric hole and the small dispersivity of GH698 crack initiation life, it's relatively easy to crack on the plane A of the eccentric hole, which is prone to multi-source fatigue. At the stage of a ≥ 1.23 mm, the reverse life of crack propagation fracture of 2# and 5# eccentric holes is consistent, and the error between the simulation value of single source fatigue crack propagation life and the reverse life is below 5%. In the stage of 0.61 mm ≤ a < 1.23 mm, the simulation crack growth rate of 5# eccentric hole of multi-source is close to that of fracture inversion. Accurate simulation analysis of multi-source crack growth needs to define the initial crack accurately, at the same time, consider the influence of existing fatigue damage on crack growth.
