Ultra High Strength Steel

Specially designed SEM in-situ tensile and fatigue tests have been conducted to trace the entire process of crack initiation and propagation till fracture in an ultra-high strength steel MA250. TiN is a typical inclusion and its average size is in the range of 8~10μm in MA250 steel. The micro-mechanism of the effect of TiN inclusion on crack initiation and propagation at tensile and fatigue tests both have been studied in detail. Experimental results show the harmful effect of TiN on tensile and fatigue properties both. This work is helpful to establish the practical life prediction model for the characteristic inclusion parameters in ultra-high strength steel components. It also enlightens us to eliminate TiN in the further development of ultra-high strength steels.

Insight Into

Observation of fracture surface in metal fatigue is one of the most significant procedures to get insight into the cause and mechanism of crack initiation and propagation. In the present study, age-hardened 2017-T4 and 7075-T6 Al alloys having the extrusion texture were fatigue tested in low and high humidities, and their fracture surfaces were examined using a three dimensional (3D) surface analyzer. In addition to the microscopic observations conducted, it is shown that these 3D analyses provide important information on the difference in crack propagation depending on the stress level and environment.

Tubular Specimens

A set of strain-controlled experiments has been performed on tubular specimens of annealed stainless steel. The strain-paths are designed to highlight the characteristics of path-dependence in the axial-torsional fatigue tests. Fatigue life, directions of crack initiation, and propagation are the subjects of interest in this investigation. They have been observed to be strongly influenced by the strain-path. For all the specimens tested, crack initiation was in the tensile mode.
