Experimental investigations have been carried out to study the effects of grain size and yield stress on fatigue limit and threshold stress intensity range. The relations between fatigue limit and grain size and yield stress and those between threshold stress intensity range and grain size and yield stress which were predicted according to the model proposed in the previous paper agreed quite well with the experimental data. The difference in the dependence of fatigue limit and threshold stress intensity range on yield stress was discussed based on the analytical relations between them.

In this paper data on fatigue lifetime of nanocrystalline (nc) Ni samples is presented. The nc-Ni samples show high lifetimes and can resist large stress amplitudes. Furthermore a new method to determine the fatigue limit based on a Fourier analysis [7] is presented. First results of a load increase test suggest strong parallels to thermal and resistive measurements which can be used to determine the fatigue limit. Microstructural investigations on as received and failed samples show a strong increase in grain size induced by the cyclic loading. The processes behind this are not understood so far and will be investigated in the future.

Combined methods to obtain ultra-fine grain (UFG) α-brass samples are proposed. Severe plastic deformation followed by recrystallization was conducted, where multiple rolling and equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) were employed. Recrystallization was accomplished by heat-treatment after the severe plastic deformation, and the grain size after the severe plastic deformation was decreased. By multiple rolling, plates with thickness of 0.1 mm and grain size of 1.0 μm were obtained. By ECAP process, square bar with cross-section of 6 mm × 6 mm and minimum grain size of 4.1 μm was obtained. The 0.2 % proof strength, ultimate tensile strength, and fatigue limit were increased with the value of inverse square root of grain size (Hall-Petch relationship). Then, the 0.2 % proof strength of UFG brass was tenfold, the ultimate tensile strength and the fatigue limit were two fold increases from the conventional α-brass. Because of the high strength, the scatter of fatigue strength of UFG brass was large, which reflects the sensitivity to defects in material.

Fatigue limits of smooth specimens and threshold stress instensity factors of specimens with large cracks depend on the microstructure of the material. A simple model in which it is assumed that the plastic zone size near the crack tip is of the order of the grain size at the threshold region has been presented in this analysis which explains the dependence of stress at the fatigue limit and the threshold stress intensity factor on yield stress and grain size.
