An experimental investigation was conducted on Haynes Alloy 556 to study the fatigue behavior of the material at elevated temperatures. Fatigue tests were run at constant temperatures ranging from room temperature to 871°C with strain ranges from 0.265 to 1.5 percent resulting in lives between 102 and 106 cycles. Cyclic deformation properties were evaluated based on the fatigue data. Three fatigue life models were evaluated for their ability to predict the isothermal fatigue lives of the material. These included the Ostergren, Frequency Separation and Stress-Strain-Time models. Strengths and weaknesses of each model are discussed based on the experimental results.

One possibility to improve the fatigue life and strength of metallic materials is shot peening. However, at elevated temperatures, the induced residual stresses may relax. To investigate the influence of shot peening on high-temperature fatigue behavior, isothermal fatigue tests were conducted on shot-peened and untreated samples of gamma TiAl 48-2-2 at 750 °C in air. The shot-peened material was characterized using EBSD, microhardness, and residual stress analyses. Shot peening leads to a significant increase in surface hardness and high compressive residual stresses near the surface. Both effects may have a positive influence on lifetime. However, it also leads to surface notches and tensile residual stresses in the bulk material with a negative impact on cyclic lifetime. During fully reversed uniaxial tension-compression fatigue tests (R = −1) at a stress amplitude of 260 MPa, the positive effects dominate, and the fatigue lifetime increases. At a lower stress amplitude of 230 MPa, the negative effect of internal tensile residual stresses dominates, and the lifetime decreases. Shot peening leads to a transition from surface to volume crack initiation if the surface is not damaged by the shots.

This work presents an experimental investigation of the effects of plastic strain on the fatigue behavior of superduplex steel tubes. Fatigue tests using conventional axial loading and a resonant bending setup conducted on 15mm OD tubes made of SAF2507 superduplex steel provides S × N data upon which effects of different levels of plastic strain can be assessed. Despite the inherent scatter in the measured fatigue data, the experiments reveal consistent trends and relatively small effects of plastic strain on fatigue behavior of superduplex steel tubes.

Micro-cracks in the vicinity of paste-aggregate interfaces and in the paste itself can be induced when concrete is exposed to elevated temperatures in the range 100°C-300°C. Although with increase of temperature, the strength of concrete becomes more and more influenced by the growing number of micro-cracks, the compressive strength of concrete at an elevated temperature lower than 300°C is almost the same of concrete at room temperature. Under repeated load, those microcracks caused by temperature would propagate, enlarge and become linked up, as a result, the fatigue behavior of concrete would decrease. In this paper, tests have been carried out to study the fatigue behavior of concrete after exposure to elevated temperatures of up to 300°C. Test results have shown that the reduction of fatigue strength of concrete is remarkable.

As one of the key components of non-ballast slab track in high speed railway, cement asphalt emulsion mortar (CAM) has low compressive strength and low elastic modulus. This makes CAM possible to be served as supporting, height-adjusting, vibration-dissipating and deformation-fitting sandwich-layer between pre-stress slab and concrete roadbed. To study the fatigue behavior of the CAM, fatigue tests were conducted at room temperature and negative temperature, respectively. The permanent strain, elastic modulus and yield strength of fatigue-tested specimens were compared to the reference one. The results showed that the small permanent deformation lead to very little displacement differences among the slab track system. Secondly, the elastic modulus and yield strength of fatigue test specimens were both higher than that of reference one. Because the fatigue process might strengthen the CAM by compacting micro-cracks. Additionally, arising from the temperature sensitivity of asphalt, viscosity behavior of asphalt mortar at room temperature is changed to brittleness behavior at negative temperature.

Grades 23 and 29 titanium alloys are becoming more commonly used offshore for critical components of riser systems. Many of these components, such as compact flanges, operate at high mean strains due to make-up loads, often close to or above yield. Hitherto, weld fatigue data collected at low mean strains have been used for prediction of fatigue lives of such components. However, these analyses have resulted in short but adequate lives. The objective of this work was, therefore, to derive fatigue data that could be applied to components operating at high strains and over a large range of stress ratios. This necessitated strain-controlled fatigue testing. Cyclic material properties evaluated from the tests are presented. In addition, it was found that sustained strain load, a type of stress relaxation that, unlike normal stress relaxation, does not require elevated temperatures, affected the cyclic behavior It also affects the distribution of make up stresses. This phenomenon was also investigated and it was shown that the cyclic stress/strain curve, readily derived from strain-controlled fatigue tests, accounted for sustained strain load effects.

This paper contributes to the effect of elevated temperature on the fatigue strength of common aluminum cast alloys EN AC-46200 and EN AC-45500. The examination covers both static as well as cyclic fatigue investigations to study the damage mechanism of the as-cast and post-heat-treated alloys. The investigated fracture surfaces suggest a change in crack origin at elevated temperature of 150 ∘ C. At room temperature, most fatigue tests reveal shrinkage-based micro pores as their crack initiation, whereas large slipping areas occur at elevated temperature. Finally, a modified a r e a -based fatigue strength model for elevated temperatures is proposed. The original a r e a model was developed by Murakami and uses the square root of the projected area of fatigue fracture-initiating defects to correlate with the fatigue strength at room temperature. The adopted concept reveals a proper fit for the fatigue assessment of cast Al-Si materials at elevated temperatures; in detail, the slope of the original model according to Murakami should be decreased at higher temperatures as the spatial extent of casting imperfections becomes less dominant at elevated temperatures. This goes along with the increased long crack threshold at higher operating temperature conditions.

Due to their high strength-to-weight-ratio, magnesium alloys are very attractive for use in automotive engineering. For application at elevated temperatures, the alloys must be creep-resistant. Therefore, the influence of the operating temperature on the material properties under quasistatic and cyclic load has to be understood. A previous study investigated tensile-tensile fatigue behavior of the magnesium alloys DieMag422 and AE42 at room temperature (RT). The aim of this study was the comparison of both alloys regarding compression, tensile, and compression-compression fatigue behavior. The quasistatic behavior was determined by means of tensile and compression tests, and the tensile-compression asymmetry was analyzed. In temperature increase fatigue tests (TIFT) and constant amplitude tests (CAT), the temperature influence on the cyclic creeping (ratcheting) behavior was investigated, and mechanisms-relevant test temperatures were determined. Furthermore, characteristic fracture mechanisms were evaluated with investigations of the microstructure and the fracture surfaces. The initial material was analyzed in computed tomographic scans and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses.

Isothermal fatigue data were collected for the compositions 5Sn-95Pb, 20Sn-80Pb, 40Sn-60Pb, 50Sn-50Pb and 63Sn-37Pb within the binary Sn-Pb system. All of these compositions are commercially available and include those most commonly used. Because Sn-rich solders are rarely used, they were not investigated here. The fatigue life was defined by a 30 percent load drop. The solders were tested in a double shear configuration joined to copper at 75° C. The displacement rate chosen was 0.01 mm/min, which corresponds to a strain rate of 1.5 × 10−4s−1 for our specimen configuration, over a 10 percent plastic strain range. Additionally, the microstructural changes during fatigue are presented. The various solder compositions studied exhibit strikingly different as-solidified microstructures. These differences are discussed in terms of their effect on the isothermal joint failure mechanism and joint isothermal fatigue life.

Results are reported for a number of load and strain controlled fatigue tests conducted over the temperature range of room temperature to 1000°F (538°C). Cyclic hardening and softening characteristics for a single heat of 2 1/4 Cr-1 Mo steel in the isothermally annealed condition are discussed. Comparisons of the data generated in this effort are made with data available from the literature and from these compilations possible ASME design fatigue curves were prepared covering continuous high and low cycle behavior over the temperature range of room temperature to 1100°F (593°C). Equations for these design curves are also given.

Abstract The effect of WC-Co coating on the high cycle fatigue (HCF) behavior of SAE 12L14 steel and 2024-T4 aluminum was investigated. The fatigue tests were performed at room temperature and 370°C. The fatigue life distributions of specimens in the polished, grit blasted, peened, and coated conditions are presented as a function of the probability of failure. HVOF sprayed WC-Co coating has influenced the fatigue life of aluminum and steel. Factors contributing to this influence, which include grit blasting, elastic modulus, and residual stress, are discussed. A three-dimensional finite-element model (FEM) of the coated specimen was used to calculate the stress distribution across the coating and the substrate. The results of the analytical model are in good agreement with fatigue lives observed experimentally.
