This paper deals with a definition of a relatively novel technique to improve the fatigue behavior of high strength aluminum alloys, namely, Fluidized Bed Peening (FBP). Fatigue samples made from AA 6082 T6 alloy were chosen according to ASTM regulation about rotating bending fatigue test and, subsequently, treated by varying FBP operational parameters and fatigue testing conditions. First, a full factorial experimental plan was performed to assess the trend of number of cycles to rupture of fatigue samples varying among several experimental levels the factors peening time and maximum amplitude of alternating stress applied to fatigue samples during rotating bending fatigue tests. Second, design of experiment (DOE) technique was used to analyze the influence of FBP operational parameters on fatigue life of AA 6082 T6 alloy. Finally, ruptures of FB treated samples and untreated samples were discussed in order to evaluate the influence of operational parameters on the effectiveness of FBP process and to understand the leading process mechanisms. At any rate, the fatigue behavior of processed components was found to be significantly improved, thereby proving the suitability of FBP process as alternative mechanical technique to enhance fatigue life of components made from high strength aluminum alloy.

The present study consists of a theoretical, experimental and fractographic investigation of the effect of superimposed static axial and shear stresses on the high cycle fatigue behavior of a 34CrNiMo6 high strength steel in quenched and tempered condition (UTS = 1210 MPa), commonly employed in highly stressed mechanical components. The Haigh diagrams for the axial and torsional cases under different values of mean stress were obtained. In both cases, experimental results showed that increasing the mean stress gradually reduces the stress amplitude that the material can withstand without failure. The results of the present tests are compared with the theoretical predictions from Findley, based on the maximum damage critical plane; and the methods of Marin and Froustey, which are energetic based criterions. Froustey’s method shows the best agreement with experimental results for torsional fatigue with mean shear stresses, showing a non-conservative behaviour for the axial fatigue loading case. Macro-analyses and micro-analyses of specimen fracture appearance were conducted in order to obtain the fracture characteristics for different mean shear stress values under torsion fatigue loading.

The development of the tension leg platform (TLP) for the Hutton Field in the North Sea represents the first application of this deepwater concept. The use of vertical tension legs as the mooring system is the most novel part of the TLP design. One of the unique features of the tension legs is the use of 92.5-mm (3.64-in.) thick tubulars forged from 3 1/2 percent Ni-Cr-Mo-V high-strength steel (795 MPa (115.3 ksi) minimum yield strength) as mooring elements. Because of the importance of these elements to the survival of the TLP, the chemical composition and the steelmaking procedure were critically examined and optimized. In addition, extensive evaluation of the corrosion fatigue behavior of the steel was undertaken. This paper discusses the basis for the steel selection and specification, the results of the rigorous corrosion fatigue test program, and the assessment of the variation of properties along the length and through the thickness of full-size components. These results illustrate the suitability of the proposed high-strength steel for the mooring system application and establish confidence in both steelmaking and quality control procedures.
