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.

Pretensioned concrete beams are widely used as bridge girders for simply supported bridges. Understanding the fatigue behavior of such beams is very important for design and construction to prevent fatigue failure. The fatigue behavior of pretensioned concrete beams is mainly influenced by the fatigue of the prestressing strands. The evaluation of previous test results from the literature indicated a reduced fatigue life in the long-life region compared with current design methods and specifications. Therefore, nine additional high-cycle fatigue tests were conducted on pretensioned concrete beams with strand stress ranges of about 100 MPa (14.5 ksi). The test results confirmed that current design methods and specifications overestimate the fatigue life of embedded strands in pretensioned concrete beams.

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.

Aggregate Concrete

Using recycled aggregate in concrete is effective in recycling construction and demolition waste. It is of critical significance to understand the fatigue properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) to implement it safely in structures subjected to repeated or fatigue load. In this study, a series of fatigue tests was performed to investigate the compressive fatigue behavior of RAC. The performance of interfacial transition zones (ITZs) was analyzed by nanoindentation. Moreover, the influence of ITZs on the fatigue life of RAC was discussed. The results showed that the fatigue life of RAC obeyed the Weibull distribution, and the S-N-p equation could be obtained based on the fitting of Weibull parameters. In the high cycle fatigue zone (N≥104), the fatigue life of RAC was lower than that of natural aggregate concrete (NAC) under the same stress level. The fatigue deformation of RAC presented a three-stage deformation regularity, and the maximum deformation at the point of fatigue failure closely matched the monotonic stress-strain envelope. The multiple ITZs matched the weak areas of RAC, and the negative effect of ITZs on the fatigue life of RAC in the high cycle fatigue zone was found to be greater than that of NAC.

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.

Component Development

Fatigue is the most critical failure mode of many mechanical component. Therefore, fatigue life assessment under fluctuating loads during component development is essential. The most important requirement for any fatigue life assessment is knowledge of the relationships between stresses, strains, and fatigue life for the material under consideration. These relationships, for any given material, are mostly unique and dependent on its fatigue behavior. Since the work of Wöhler in the 1850’s, the uniaxial stress versus cycles to fatigue failure, which is known as the S-N curve, is typically utilized for high-cycle fatigue. In general, high cycle fatigue implies linear elastic behavior and causes failure after more than 104 or 105 cycles. However. the transition from low cycle fatigue to high cycle fatigue, which is unique for each material based on its properties, has not been well examined. In this paper, this transition is studied and a material dependent number of cycles for the transition is derived based on the material properties. Some implications of this derivation, on assessing and approximating the crack initiation fatigue life, are also discussed.

Plasticity effects and crack-closure modeling of small fatigue cracks were used on a Ti-6Al-4V alloy to calculate fatigue lives under various constant-amplitude loading conditions (negative to positive stress ratios, R) on notched and un-notched specimens. Fatigue test data came from a high-cycle-fatigue study by the U.S. Air Force and a metallic materials properties handbook. A crack-closure model with a cyclic-plastic-zone-corrected effective stress-intensity factor range and equivalent-initial-flaw-sizes (EIFS) were used to calculate fatigue lives using only crack-growth-rate data. For un-notched specimens, EIFS values were 25-μm; while for notched specimens, the EIFS values ranged from 6 to 12 μm for positive stress ratios and 25-μm for R = −1 loading. Calculated fatigue lives under a wide-range of constant-amplitude loading conditions agreed fairly well with the test data from low- to high-cycle fatigue conditions.
