The effects of shot peening treatment (SPT) were studied at (10,20, and 30) minutes on the rotating bending fatigue behavior and the behavior of the alloy steel DIN 41Cr4 vibrations. The hardness test, tensile test, constant amplitude fatigue tests, and the vibration measurements were performed on samples with and without cracks at room temperature (RT), also, the fracture surface was examined and analyzed by a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results of the investigations, for example, Stress to Number of cycles to failure (S-N) curves, fatigue strength improvement factor of 5% to 10%, the decreasing percentage of maximum Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) acceleration of the shot-peened condition were compared to untreated conditions ranging between 25% and 40%. All these improvements occurred for up to 20 minutes of shot peening time (20 SPT), exceeding that time the fatigue behavior tended to decrease due to high roughness and the generation of tensile residual stress.

Shot peening is a method widely used to improve the fatigue strength of materials, through the creation of a compressive residual stress field (CRSF) in their surface layers. In the present research the gain in fatigue life of AISI 4340 steel, obtained by shot peening treatment, is evaluated under the three different hardnesses used in landing gear. Rotating bending fatigue tests and alternating tension tests were conducted and the CRSF was measured by x-ray tensometry prior and after interrupted fatigue tests. The evaluation of fatigue life after shot peening in relation to the relaxation of CRSF, of the crack initiation sites and surface roughness is done.

The effect of slight surface REM finishing, that is a chemically accelerated polishing process, in order to reduce surface roughness after shot peening has been studied on different series of specimens shot peened by varied peening parameters. Room temperature rotating bending fatigue tests have been performed on the shot peened series and the series subjected to shot peening and successive REM finishing process. The results represent how REM finishing affects the final fatigue behavior of differently treated specimens in two ways: decreasing surface roughness and removing a thin layer of material with compressive residual stresses.

Difficult-to cut-materials are associated with premature tool failure, most likely in the case of complex geometries and this shapes. However, Nickel-based alloys are commonly used in high-temperature and aerospace applications, where thin deep holes are often required. Then, the only viable manufacturing solution relies on non-contact processes, like electrodischarge (ED) drilling. Morphology of ED machined surfaces is significantly different than obtained by metal-cutting operation and is known to jeopardize fatigue strength, but the extent needs to be gauged and related to the process parameters. Aim of the paper is to study the effect of holes (0.8 mm diameter, aspect ratio 10) produced by ED drilling on the fatigue life of Inconel 718. Rotating bending fatigue tests are carried out on specimens drilled under two ED setups, as well as with a traditional cutting tool. Specimens free from holes are fatigued under the same conditions for comparison. Based on previous studies, extremal ED parameters are selected, giving best surface finish versus highest productivity. S-N curves show that the ED process causes a decrease of the fatigue resistance with respect to traditional drilling, whereas the effect of different ED setups is negligible. Maximum productivity can thus be pursued with no threat to fatigue performance. The fatigue limit variation is quantified by using the superposition effect principle: ED drilling causes an increase of the stress concentration factor around 25% if compared to traditional drilling. The macroscopic fatigue behavior is integrated with a study of the effects of the different drilling processes in the micro-scale, by means of a microstructural and fractographic analysis.

In order to study the effect of plastic deformation on fatigue behaviors of plastically deformed specimen, bending fatigue tests had been performed on notched deformed stainless steel specimens. Also pulsating fatigue tests were done on notched non-deformed specimens to evaluate the influence of mean stress on fatigue behavior of notched non-deformed specimens. The result showed that according to increase of deformation value, the fatigue limits of these specimens also significantly increase. Fatigue limit of rolled specimen does not linearly increase with increase in plastic deformation value. Based on fatigue limit diagram, the effect of compressive residual stress on fatigue limit improvement of stainless steel is higher than that of work-hardening. In case of non-deformed specimen, when the compressive mean stress increases, the fatigue limit and the number of cycles to failure increase. In case of tensile mean stress, this kind of mean stress decreases the fatigue limit.

Rotating bending fatigue tests had been performed using A5052 aluminum (Al) alloy with the hybrid coatings which consisted of tungsten carbide including 12% cobalt (WC-12Co) interlayer and diamond-like carbon (DLC) film, in order to investigate the effect of hybrid coating on the fatigue behavior. The WC-12Co layer was thermally sprayed by a high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) method on A5052 with the thickness of 70, 120 or 170μm. Subsequently, the DLC film was deposited with the thickness of 15μm. The fatigue strengths of the specimens with WC-12Co single layer were higher than those of the substrate and increased with increasing the thickness of WC-12Co layer. The fatigue strengths of the specimens with the hybrid coating of 70μm WC-12Co interlayer and 15μm DLC film were better than those of the specimen with 70μm WC-12Co single layer. Thus the hybrid coating structure was effective to improve fatigue strengths. However the beneficial effect of hybrid coating was not apparent in the specimens with thicker WC-12Co interlayer of 120 and 170μm.

AISI 420 martensite stainless steel was plasma nitrided with/without shot peening (SP) previously at 350 °C. The FF resistance of researched material was evaluated using a rotating bending fatigue machine and a home-made apparatus. The results indicated that low-temperature nitriding alone and the combined treatment both improved the FF resistance of AISI 420 stainless steel significantly. However, the later did not lead to higher FF resistance than the former. FF cracks tended to initiate at microcrack defects induced by SP.

Rotating bending fatigue tests up to 108 cycles were carried out to investigate the effects of shot peening on the fatigue strength and the fracture mechanism in an 18 % Ni maraging steel by using shot particles of various sizes or hardness. Fatigue strength was increased markedly by shot peening in the wide region of fatigue life. The S-N curves showed duplex S-N properties because of the transition of fracture origin from the specimen surface in the short life region to the subsurface in the long life one. Double shot peening by using super-hard fine particles was effective to improve the fatigue strength for surface fracture, though the fatigue strength for an internal fracture was hardly influenced. These results were discussed from the points of view of effects of surface roughness, residual stress and work hardening on the fatigue strength.

One possibility to improve the fatigue life and strength of metallic materials is shot peening. However, at elevated temperatures, the induced residual stresses may relax. To investigate the influence of shot peening on high-temperature fatigue behavior, isothermal fatigue tests were conducted on shot-peened and untreated samples of gamma TiAl 48-2-2 at 750 °C in air. The shot-peened material was characterized using EBSD, microhardness, and residual stress analyses. Shot peening leads to a significant increase in surface hardness and high compressive residual stresses near the surface. Both effects may have a positive influence on lifetime. However, it also leads to surface notches and tensile residual stresses in the bulk material with a negative impact on cyclic lifetime. During fully reversed uniaxial tension-compression fatigue tests (R = −1) at a stress amplitude of 260 MPa, the positive effects dominate, and the fatigue lifetime increases. At a lower stress amplitude of 230 MPa, the negative effect of internal tensile residual stresses dominates, and the lifetime decreases. Shot peening leads to a transition from surface to volume crack initiation if the surface is not damaged by the shots.

In this study, the effect of thermal oxidation on the high cycle rotating bending fatigue behavior of Ti6Al4V alloy was investigated. Oxidation, which was performed at 600°C for 60 h in air, considerably improved the surface hardness and particularly the yield strength of the alloy without scarifying the tensile ductility. Unfortunately, the rotating bending fatigue strength at 5x106 cycles decreased from about 610 MPa to about 400 MPa upon oxidation. Thus, thermal oxidation leaded a reduction in the fatigue strength of around 34%, while improving the surface hardness (HV0.1) and yield strength 85 % and 36 %, respectively.
