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.

ABSTRACTTensile fatigue behavior of a hot-isostatically-pressed (HIPed) silicon nitride was investigated over ranges of constant stresses, constant stress rates, and cyclic loading at 1150-1370°C. At 1150°C, static and dynamic fatigue failures were governed by a slow crack growth mechanism. Creep rupture was the dominant failure mechanism in static fatigue at 1260 and 1370°C. A transition of failure mechanism from slow crack growth to creep rupture appeared at stress rates ≤10−2 MPa/s for dynamic fatigue at 1260 and 1370°C. At 1 150-1370°C, cyclic loading appeared to be less damaging than static loading as cyclic fatigue specimens displayed greater failure times than static fatigue specimens under the same maximum stresses.

In order to investigate the effect of plasma nitriding treatment on fatigue behavior of titanium alloys, very high cycle fatigue tests were carried out for Ti-6Al-4V alloy using an ultrasonic fatigue machine under load control conditions for stress ratios of R=-1 at frequency of ƒ=20KHz. Experiment results showed that plasma nitriding treatment played the principal role in the internal fatigue crack initiation. More importantly, plasma nitriding treatment had a detrimental effect on fatigue properties of the investigated Ti-6Al-4V alloy, and the fatigue strength of material after plasma nitriding treatment appeared to be significantly reduced about 17% over the untreated material.

This study examined the fatigue properties of a newly developed cast and thermomechanical processed (β)-Ti-40Nb alloy for a possible application as biomedical alloy due to exceptional low Young’s modulus (64-73 GPa), high corrosion resistance and ductility (20-26%). Focusing on the influence of two microstructural states with fully recrystallized β-grain structure as well as an aged condition with nanometer-sized ω-precipitates, tension-compression fatigue tests (R=-1) were carried out under lab-air and showed significant differences depending on the β-phase stability under cyclic loading. Present ω- precipitates stabilized the β-phase against martensitic α’’ phase transformations leading to an increased fatigue limit of 288 MPa compared to the recrystallized state (225 MPa), where mechanical polishing and subsequent cyclic loading led to formation of α’’-phase due to the metastability of the β-phase. Additional studied commercially available (β)-Ti-45Nb alloy revealed slightly higher fatigue strength (300 MPa) and suggest a change in the dominating cyclic deformation mechanisms according to the sensitive dependence on the Nb-content. Further tests in simulated body fluid (SBF) at 37°C showed no decrease in fatigue strength due to the effect of corrosion and prove the excellent corrosion fatigue resistance of this alloy type under given test conditions.

AbstractIn this study, the effects of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) on high-cycle fatigue and fatigue surface morphology of AA7075 have been investigated at a constant temperature (483 K) and the “C” route for four passes at ECAP process. ECAPed and as-received specimens were tested by four-point bending fatigue device. Fatigue tests were carried out by using 100, 120 and 140 MPa strength values. ECAPed specimens were characterized for each pass with optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscope (EDS), transmission electron microscope (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and hardness measurements. Fracture surfaces of the specimens were also characterized with SEM. The results show that the highest hardness values (137 HV) and the best fatigue life (5.4 × 107for 100 MPa) were measured in ECAPed four-pass sample. For this reason hardness values and fatigue life were increased with increasing number of severe plastic deformation (SPD) process.
