The fatigue behaviour of SAE 5160 steel was evaluated before and after applying a shot peening process by using different Almen intensities and surface coverings (uncovered, partial coverage and total coverage). In the high-cycle fatigue tests, maximum stresses of 0.8 Sut, 0.7 Sut and 0.6 Sut were applied in the three-point bending test on an Instron 8872 servo-hydraulic machine at a frequency of 10 Hz and a constant stress ratio of Smin/ Smax = 0.2 for all tests. The fatigue tests were performed based on the ASTM E8, the specimens were classified into six groups for each stress evaluated, and each group consisted of three standardised specimens (ASTM E466). Also, yield strength, ultimate strength, hardness and microhardness were obtained. The Wilcoxon’s non-parametric test was used to statistically compare all the mechanical properties obtained from the base material with those obtained after the application of the shot peening, for the different surface coverings and Almen intensities. The results showed that the shot peening process significantly increases the fatigue strength of the material, with a 94% increase in fatigue strength of the fully coated specimens. However, no significant increase in fatigue strength was found due to a change in the Almen intensity value. A high correlation factor was found between the increase in the ultimate resistance and the increase in Almen intensity; however, for the yield stress the correlation was medium and inverse. For hardness and microhardness, the correlation factor was very low. Finally, the microhardness values revealed a 3% increase in Vickers microhardness of the shot peening specimens compared to the untreated specimens.

The development and application of friction stir welding (FSW) technology in steel structures in the shipbuilding industry provide an effective tool of achieving superior joint integrity especially where reliability and damage tolerance are of major concerns. Since the shipbuilding components are inevitably subjected to dynamic or cyclic stresses in services, the fatigue properties of the friction stir welded joints must be properly evaluated to ensure the safety and longevity. This research intends to fulfill a clear knowledge gap that exists nowadays and, as such, it is dedicated to the study of welded steel shipbuilding joints in GL-A36 steel, with 4 mm thick. The fatigue resistance of base material and four plates in as-welded condition (using several different parameters, tools and pre-welding conditions) were investigated. The joints culminate globally with defect-free welds, from which tensile, microhardness, and fatigue analyses were performed. The fatigue tests were carried out with a constant amplitude loading, a stress ratio of R=0.1 and frequency between 100 and 120 Hz. The experimental results show the quality of the welding process applied to steel GL-A36 which is reflected in the mechanical properties of joints tested.

Austempered Ductile Cast Iron

In order to study the mechanism of decreasing tensile strength and elongation of Austempered Ductile Cast Iron (ADI) in the wet condition, various tension tests and impact tests were carried out. Three point bending fatigue tests were carried out on ADI and annealed 0.55% carbon steel to clarify the influence of water on fatigue strength. The main conclusions are as follow. Embrittlement by water begins when plastic deformation starts in a tension test. The fatigue limit of ADI in water showed a lower value than that in air. The influence of a water environment on fatigue behaviour was similar to that of annealed 0.55% carbon steel. Embrittlement such as that in a tension test was not observed in a fatigue test.

Fatigue is one of the most important properties to be considered in ceramic dental implants due to cyclic mechanical stresses arising from the chewing process. In this work, the fatigue behaviour of hydrothermally degraded ZrO2-based ceramics stabilized with 3mol% Y2O3 (3Y-TZP) was studied in 4-point bending tests. Samples of 3Y-TZP were compacted (100MPa), sintered at 1475 ?C for 2 h, polished and hydrothermally degraded in an autoclave as described in the ISO-13356 standard. The samples were characterized by their relative density, crystalline phase composition, microstructure and surface roughness. The highly dense (>99.6%TD) sintered 3Y-TZP ceramics has only tetragonal t-ZrO2 phase, even after hydrothermal ageing. Furthermore, the ceramic materials presented a Vickers hardness of 12.7?0.2GPa, a fracture toughness of 7.1?0.3MPa?m1/2 and a 4-point bending strength of 940.1?67MPa. Based on the bending test results 5 different stress levels for the fatigue tests were selected and conducted by cyclic 4-point bending obtaining the S-N curve. Weibull statistics was used for the statistical analysis. The fatigue tests indicate that the limit of fatigue resistance of this 3Y-TZP ceramics is around 550MPa, i.e. higher than the limits established in the ISO-13356 standard for the use of Y-TZP ceramics for the manufacture of implants. The fatigue behaviour of the investigated 3Y-TZP ceramics was related to the toughening mechanisms acting in Y-TZP ceramics, such as transformation toughening related to t?m phase transformation and microcracking.

The fatigue strength of the hot work steel depends on various factors, including the mechanical, properties and behavior and bulk and the surface under layer, the microstructural features as well as heat treatments. The influence of a series of heat treatments on the fatigue strength of H13 hot work steel was investigated. Different preheating, quenching and tempering treatments were applied to four sets of specimens and fatigue tests were conducted at room temperature using a rotating bending test machine. All heat treatments resulted in a certain improvement of the fatigue strength. Highest fatigue strength obtained by applying a double tempering heat treatment (first tempering at 550 °C for two hours and second tempering at 610 °C for two hours) after initial preheating and quenching. One tempering treatment (550 °C for two hours after preheating and quenching) did not significantly improve the fatigue strength.

The aim of this study was to analyze the flexural strength of ceramics based on yttria-stabilized zirconia (YTZP) , used in the manufacture of dental prostheses infrastructure before and after aging with cyclic fatigue in moisture. The samples were made by pre-sintered blocks of ZirkonTransluzent (Zirkonzahn GMHB) from YTZP ceramics with and without feldspathic ceramic coating, divided into groups: G1 = YTZP control; G2 = YTZP aged; G3 = YTZP + feldspathic; G4 = YTZP + aged feldspathic. The samples were submitted to a three-point bending test with a speed of 0.5 mm / min. The mean values of the flexural strength values were G1 = 645 MPa (DP ± 124), G2 = 681 MPa (DP ± 129), G3 = 904Mpa (DP ± 157) and G4 = 954Mpa (DP ± 243). The values of groups G1 and G2; G3 and G4 were statistically similar, depending on the presence or absence of coating. Cyclic stresses did not affect the flexural strength of the material

Abstract This paper concerns issues related to the development of designs of stabilizer bars for new motor vehicle models. It involves not only the designing of a stabilizer bar with the shape required by the manufacturer, but also the preparation of bending and heat treatment processes as well as the performance of strength and fatigue tests. In the prototype development phase, the simulations techniques (FEM) may be used to assess the design. The article contains a detailed analysis of a stabilizer bar designated with the DC 218 VA symbol. Performed numerical strength and fatigue calculations showed that the developed stabilizer bar design with the desired shape did not achieve the required number of fatigue cycles. It was also proven at the test stand by testing a prototype stabilizer bar. Therefore, it was suggested to supplement the technological process with an additional shot peening operation whose main aim was to reduce the length of microcracks on the stabilizer bar’s surface. This effect was confirmed during comparative metallographic tests of not shot – peened and shot – peened stabilizer bars. After shot peening, the analysed stabilizer bar reached a fatigue strength which exceeded the limits set by the manufacturer.

The self-healing performance of PE and PVA concrete was evaluated, by using the three-point bending test with a notch. Four different crack inducement days were applied (7, 28, 49, and 91 days), and the same 21 days of healing period were applied to each case. The self-healing environments were in 20°C water, and in the curing room with 20°C temperature and 60% humidity. The flexural strength and the initial flexural stiffness of before and after healing were compared. As a result, both the strength recovery effect and the stiffness recovery effect decreased with the delay of crack inducement, and specimens in the water environment showed higher healing effect than those in the air environment. PVA fiber showed a relatively greater recovery effect than PE fiber.

Improve Reliability

During repair welding of steel bridge under service load, vibration occurs due to the dynamic loads like wind and vehicles, etc. However, the effect of vibration during welding on the fatigue strength of weldments is not yet clearly understood. In this paper, the effect of vibration during welding on the fatigue strength of structural steel weldments was investigated in order to improve reliability in the repair welded joints of steel bridge. The base material used in this investigation was SM 490A steel of weldable grade. Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) process was used to fabricate the single ‘V’ butt joints. Welding was performed on the steel under the mechanical vibration of given frequency. The applied frequency was resonant frequency. Also, weldments under no vibration during welding were prepared. Fatigue tests were conducted using a servo hydraulic controlled 50tonf capacity UTM with a frequency of 5Hz under constant amplitude loading. Effect of vibration during welding on the fatigue strength of weldments was analyzed in detail.

In this study, we selected the nitride Cr-Mo Steel SCM435 as the substrate. Attention was focussed on the effect of film thickness. The Arc Ion Plating was performed using Cr cathode and N2 gas. The specimens were prepared for the film thickness 6, 12 and 18μm The three point bending fatigue tests were performed at room temperature in a laboratory environment. After the fatigue test, crack initiation sites were examined by using an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The results obtained were as follows: (1) A high compressive residual stress generated in the film, and the compressive residual stress of 12μm film thickness was the greatest. (2) The fatigue strength of coated specimens for thin film was slightly lower than for substrate. (3) The film thickness hardly affected the fatigue strength of coated specimens.

Leaf springs constitute the most effective suspension way of commercial vehicle axles from the cost and maintainability point of view. Especially in case of front axles, they overtake both the guidance and suspension functions, which consequently designates them as safety components, whose pre-mature failure is explicitly prohibited. The present paper deals with the fatigue performance of downsized parabolic leaf specimens made of the high-strength spring steel 51CrV4 under serial manufacturing conditions. It focuses on the influence of the major manufacturing steps, i.e. the heat treatment and the subsequently applied stress shot peening. The effectiveness of the applied heat treatment on the microstructure transformation and the extent of surface decarburization is determined by means of optical microscopy and corresponding microstructural analyses. Comprehensive series of constant amplitude fatigue tests are executed before and after the applied stress shot peening to quantify its effectiveness on the fatigue performance. The tests cover two characteristic stress ratios of operational significance with the complete range of interest being experimentally investigated. Additionally, surface residual stresses measurements together with micro- and macro-hardness and roughness values before and after stress shot peening are executed to expose the influence of each individual technological effect on the overall fatigue performance.
