Fatigue life of nominally identical structures under nominally identical loading conditions can scatter widely. This study has investigated the impact of machining processes on such scatters. After Ti 6Al-4V samples were surface ground and face turned, they were subject to constant amplitude four-point bending fatigue tests under room temperature. The best-case scenario of process capability ratios of fatigue for these samples were evaluated with assumed tolerances of fatigue life. Based on these ratios, the numbers of nonconforming parts were estimated. Under the machining conditions from the Machining Data Handbook (Machining Data Center, Cincinnati, 1980), up to 39% of samples due to one process are expected to be nonconforming, whereas only up to 0.6% of samples due to the other process are expected to be nonconforming. The ramifications in terms of cost for machining quality control due to the different capability ratios have been discussed. The current findings indicate an urgent need to further the study of this issue in a scientific manner.

ABSTRACTCyclic and static fatigue properties of pressure-less sintered silicon nitride were evaluated at 1000° C in air and in nitrogen using four-point bending mode. The data of cyclic fatigue tests or static fatigue tests and the morphology of the fractured surfaces in nitrogen were compared with those in air. The cyclic fatigue behavior was remarkably influenced by the atmosphere, while the static fatigue was less influenced. Crack healing effect due to the oxidation around the crack are thought to be the most probable mechanism to affect the cyclic fatigue rate in air.

Room-temperature strength was evaluated using sintered silicon nitride crept specimens. Creep tests were performed using 4-point bending loading at 1400°C in air. The bending creep tests applied stresses from 100 to 400 MPa for 10−1 to 3×103 hours. For applied stress over 200 MPa, the room-temperature strength of the crept specimen had two stages. In the first stage the strength degraded slowly, and in the second stage the strength degraded rapidly. In the first stage, oxidation caused the strength degradation, since the degradation was similar for the different applied stresses. In the second stage, large creep deformation mainly caused the strength degradation. Early in the stage, creep induced matrix and boundary damage under the oxidation layer caused the degradation. At the end of the stage, cracks induced by creep caused the degradation.

A polycrystalline alpha-beta TiAl6V4 alloy in the annealed condition was used for the three-point bending fatigue test at frequency f∼100 Hz. The static preload Fstat. = −15 kN and variable dynamic force Fdyn. = −7 kN to −13.5 kN were set as fatigue test loading parameters. The fatigue life S-N curve presented the stress amplitude σa as a function of a number of cycles to fracture Nf. A limiting number of cycles to run out of 2.0 × 107 cycles were chosen for the 3-point fatigue tests of rectangular specimens. In addition, the Smith diagram was used to predict the fatigue life. The alpha lamellae width has a significant influence on fatigue life. It is assumed that the increasing width of alpha lamellae decreases fatigue life. A comparison of fatigue results with given alpha lamellae width in our material to the results of other researchers was performed. The SEM fractography was performed with an accent to reveal the initiation sites of crack at low and high load stresses and mechanism of crack propagation for the fatigue part of fracture.
