The present study deals with the high cycle fatigue (HCF) behavior of a ten wt% Cr steel at ambient also as high temperatures (300–853 K). S–N curves were created at unlike temperatures using an R-ratio of −1. Outcome of mean stress was established over and done with Haigh diagram at 853 K using different R-values. Fatigue life was found to decrease with upsurge in test temperature and stress amplitude. Fatigue life was attempted using Basquin equation. Detailed fracture surface analysis was performed to study the crack initiation and propagation modes towards empathetic the mechanisms of failure at different temperatures.

The present study primarily focuses on understanding the high cycle fatigue behavior (HCF) of alloy 10wt%Cr Ferritic Steel and Dissimilar metal weld (DMW) joint between 617M and 10wt%Cr Ferritic Steel. For assessing the HCF behavior, tests were conducted under stress controlled cycling, by employing dissimilar stress ratios (R) and wide range of temperatures (300 K – 853 K). The S-N curves plotted at R= -1 and temperatures (300 K,673 K,853 K) for 10wt%Cr Ferritic Steel shows that fatigue life decreased with increase in stress amplitude. It is also observed that fatigue life of 10wt%Cr Ferritic Steel falls with increase in the temperature regardless of the stress amplitude, clearly showing the strong dependence of fatigue life on the temperature. An effort has been made to find out the fatigue parameters at 300 K and 853 K using Basquin equation. These fatigue parameters were used for life prediction, showed that predicted life is in good agreement with experimental life with in a scatter band of 2. At 853 K, Goodman diagram shows that limiting alternating stress decreases with increase in the mean stress. The results were linked with the detailed scanning electron microscope investigation where it is analyzed that at 300 K, the fatigue failure was by trans-granular mode, characterized by striations while at 673 K and 853 K, intergranular mode and strong oxidation is seen, thus lowering the life at said temperatures. The standard S-N behavior for DMW at R= -1 and at temperature of 853 K showed that the welding reduces the number of cycles to failure. Vicker’s hardness measurements show that there is softening in the 10wt%Cr side & hardening in the butter layer resulting in failure of all non-defective samples on the 10wt%Cr side. HCF test was also showed on damaged samples at 230 MPa and 200 MPa, found, that crack initiates & propagates near the damage at 230 MPa while at 200MPa crack initiates and propagates in the 10wt%Cr side irrespective of the damage.

Abstract Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) has become a popular method for producing complex and unique geometries, especially gaining traction in the aerospace and medical industries. With the increase in adoption of AM and the high cost of powder, it is critical to understand the effects of powder recycling on part performance to move towards material qualification and certification of affordable printed components. Due to the limitations of the Electron Beam Melting (EBM) process, current as-printed components are susceptible to failure at limits far below wrought metals and further understanding of the material properties and fatigue life is required. In this study, a high strength Titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V, is recycled over time and used to print fatigue specimens using the EBM process. Uniaxial High Cycle Fatigue tests have been performed on as-printed and polished cylindrical specimens and the locations of crack initiation and propagation have been determined through the use of a scanning electron microscope. This investigation has shown that the rough surface exterior is far more detrimental to performance life than the powder degradation occurring due to powder reuse. In addition, the effects of the rough surface exterior as a stress concentration is evaluated using the Arola-Ramulu. The following is a preliminary study of the effects powder recycling and surface treatments on EBM Ti-6Al4V fatigue life.

In this research paper, the cyclic stress amplitude controlled fatigue response and fracture behavior of an Al-Cu-Mg alloy (Aluminum Association designation 2024) is presented and discussed. The alloy was friction stir welded in the T8 temper to provide two plates one having high tensile ductility and denoted as Plate A and the other having low tensile ductility and denoted as Plate B. Test specimens of the alloy, prepared from the two plates, were cyclically deformed under stress amplitude control at two different load ratios with the primary objective of documenting the conjoint influence of magnitude of cyclic stress, load ratio and intrinsic microstructural effects on cyclic fatigue life and final fracture characteristics. The high cycle fatigue resistance of the alloy is described in terms of maximum stress, R-ratio, and microstructural influences on strength. The final fracture behavior of the friction stir welded alloy is discussed in light of the concurrent and mutually interactive influences of intrinsic microstructural effects, deformation characteristics of the alloy microstructure, magnitude of cyclic stress, and resultant fatigue life.
