This study addresses the effect of temperature on fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of CPVC. FCG tests were conducted on CPVC SEN tensile specimens in the temperature range −10 to 70°C. These specimens were prepared from 4-in. injection-molded pipe fittings. Crack growth behavior was studied using LEFM concepts. The stress intensity factor was modified to include the crack closure and plastic zone effects. The effective stress intensity factor range ΔKeff gave satisfactory correlation of crack growth rate (da/dN) at all temperatures of interest. The crack growth resistance was found to decrease with temperature increase. The effect of temperature on da/dN was investigated by considering the variation of mechanical properties with temperature. Master curves were developed by normalizing ΔKeff by fracture strain and yield stress. All the da/dN-ΔK curves at different temperatures were collapsed on a single curve. Crazing was found to be the dominant fatigue mechanism, especially at high temperature, while shear yielding was the dominant mechanism at low temperatures.

Stress Intensity Factor Range

In order to study the influence of stress ratio and WC grain size, the characteristics of fatigue crack growth were investigated in WC-Co cemented carbides with two different grain sizes of 3 and 6 µm. Fatigue crack growth tests were carried out over a wide range of fatigue crack growth rates covering the threshold stress intensity factor range DKth. It was found that crack growth rate da/dN against stress intensity factor range DK depended on stress ratio R. The crack growth rate plotted in terms of effective stress intensity factor range DKeff still exhibited the effect of microstructure. Fractographic examination revealed brittle fracture at R=0.1 and ductile fracture at R=0.5 in Co binder phase. The amount of Co phase transformation for stress ratio was closely related to fatigue crack growth characteristics.
