Nickel base super alloys due to their superior properties are used in different parts of gas turbines, in jet engines, and as well as in marine application from 250°C to 650°C. At such high temperature sulphur and vanadium as impurities in fuel oil get oxidised in SO2 and V2O5. Further, sulphur oxide reacts with NaCl to form Na2SO4. These salts cause high temperature corrosion which causes stress corrosion cracking of engine components of marine gas turbine. Therefore, LCF resistance of the material becomes an important consideration in design of turbine. Fatigue samples both coated with NaCl salt and uncoated samples were tested in low cycle fatigue. The fatigue tested samples were analyzed under Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Since micrographs analysis is an important tool with the testing of materials to evaluate the various properties of the materials. In present study micrographs analysis helped to a great extent for evaluation the Low cycle fatigue behaviour of Nickel base super alloy INCONAL 718 (IN718) at high temperature which is 550°C.
