The experimentally obtained fatigue limit of high strength steel is generally a value reduced by inherent flaws, which does not characterize the resistance of high strength steel matrix to cyclic loading. To investigate the fatigue limit of matrix, fatigue tests of SUS630 stainless steel were performed. SUS630 stainless steel showed a distinct dual-stage S-N curve: one stage corresponding to high stress where crack initiated at the surface and another stage corresponding to low stress where crack initiated from the subsurface inclusion (Al2O3). Based on small crack mechanics, a model was proposed to predict the fatigue limit of SUS630 stainless steel matrix. Moreover, fatigue tests of blunt notch specimens were performed to examine the validity of this model.

Mechanical Attrition

The potential of ultrasonic surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) at different temperatures (including cryogenic) for improving the fatigue performance of 304L austenitic stainless steel is evaluated along with the effect of the fatigue loading conditions. Processing parameters such as the vibration amplitude, the size, and the material of the shot medias were fixed. Treatments of 20 min at room temperature and cryogenic temperature were compared to the untreated material by performing rotating–bending fatigue tests at 10 Hz. The fatigue limit was increased by approximately 30% for both peening temperatures. Meanwhile, samples treated for 60 min at room temperature were compared to the initial state in uniaxial fatigue tests performed at R = −1 (fully reversed tension–compression) at 10 Hz, and the fatigue limit enhancement was approximately 20%. In addition, the temperature measurements done during the tests revealed a negligible self-heating (∆t < 50 °C) of the run-out specimens, whereas, at high stress amplitudes, temperature changes as high as 300 °C were measured. SMAT was able to increase the stress range for which no significant local self-heating was reported on the surface.

In order to study the effect of plastic deformation on fatigue behaviors of plastically deformed specimen, bending fatigue tests had been performed on notched deformed stainless steel specimens. Also pulsating fatigue tests were done on notched non-deformed specimens to evaluate the influence of mean stress on fatigue behavior of notched non-deformed specimens. The result showed that according to increase of deformation value, the fatigue limits of these specimens also significantly increase. Fatigue limit of rolled specimen does not linearly increase with increase in plastic deformation value. Based on fatigue limit diagram, the effect of compressive residual stress on fatigue limit improvement of stainless steel is higher than that of work-hardening. In case of non-deformed specimen, when the compressive mean stress increases, the fatigue limit and the number of cycles to failure increase. In case of tensile mean stress, this kind of mean stress decreases the fatigue limit.
