AbstractThe indentation creep test, especially the impression creep, exhibits a magic appealing in the determination of creep properties of small structures in industry for its simplicity, efficiency and non-destruction merits. Most of previous researches of indentation or impression creep neglect the effect of surface roughness of materials, which plays a crucial role in extracting creep properties of materials. The FE results showed that the surface roughness has no effect on the determination of creep exponent when the punching stress is larger than 150MPa. However, under a smaller punching stress the stress exponent is decreased due to the “Tuner” effect of asperities. The conclusions drawn in the present study provide an important guidance on experiment results amendment for impression creep technique.

The impression creep test (ICT) method, as a miniature specimen test technique, has been used extensively to determine the in-service creep properties of power plant components. However, the experiment results of the ICT can be affected by some uncertainties associated with the inaccuracies of measurement, which have not been studied before. This paper presents some results of finite element analyses, to evaluate the effect of indenter misalignment on the results of the ICT, such as the steady-state creep deformation rate and the conversion parameters. The results obtained have shown that the angular misalignments of the indenter around horizontal directions have a relatively significant influence on the conversion parameters, and the misalignment around vertical direction has a much less significant effect. Empirical formulas were developed for the possible correction of the conversion factors. Finally, some recommendations on the control of the indenter and specimen alignment were given.

In this paper fundamental information on the influence of surface roughness on fatigue life/limit stresses of machine elements made of different construction materials using different machining/manufacturing processes are presented. The rules for the assessment of surface finish influence represented by the set of microscopic notches on the real machined surfaces, which allow the determination of the stress concentration factor and the correction of a fatigue life limit, are provided. The results of fatigue tests are compared with computed data and predictions using FEM based simulations. The effect of surface discontinues resulting from surface roughness are related to machine elements made of steels, aluminium alloys, aerospace alloys – titanium and nickel based superalloys and composite reinforced by graphite fibres.
