The effect of nano grain surface layer generated by ultrasonic impact on the fatigue behaviors of a titanium alloy Ti3Zr2Sn3Mo25Nb (TLM) was investigated. Three vibration strike-numbers of 24,000 times, 36,000 times and 48,000 times per unit are chosen to treat the surface of TLM specimens. Nanocrystals with an average size of 30 nm are generated. The dislocation motion plays an important role in the transformation of nanograins. Ultrasonic surface impact improves the mechanical properties of TLM, such as hardness, surface residual stress, tensile strength and fatigue strength. More vibration strike numbers will cause a higher enhancement. With a vibration strike number of 48,000 times per square millimeter the rotating-bending fatigue strength of TLM at 107 cycles is improved by 23.7%. All the fatigue cracks initiate from the surface of untreated specimens, while inner cracks appear after the fatigue life of 106 cycles with the ultrasonic surface impact. The crystal slip in the crack initiation zone is the main way of growth for microcracks. Crack cores are usually formed at the junction of crystals. The stress intensity factor of TLM titanium alloy is approximately 7.0 MPa·m1/2.

The rotating bending fatigue properties of Ti65 titanium alloy blisk forging was studied in the present investigation. The smooth and notched specimens were prepared to test the fatigue properties at room temperature and 650°C. Meanwhile, the influences on rotating bending fatigue of temperature and type were analyzed. Furthermore, the fractural morphology was observed through scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the medium fatigue strength of Ti65 titanium alloy decreased at 650°C compared with that at room temperature, and the fatigue strength of notched specimens indicated the same significant declination at different temperatures compared with smooth specimens. At room temperature the medium fatigue strength of smooth and notched are 473MPa and 173MPa, respectively, and the fatigue notch sensitive coefficient was 0.87. At 650°C the medium fatigue strength of smooth and notched specimens are 427MPa and 168MPa, where the fatigue notch sensitive coefficient was 0.78.

Quenched and tempered (QT) S45C steel was processed by plasma nitriding (a mixture of 40% N 2-60% H 2, 400 Pa , 773 K ) with two different durations: 8 h and 48 h. The microhardness, surface residual stress and nitriding layer compound were separately detected and the effect was discussed with the fatigue test result. The rotating bending fatigue properties was test with QT, QT nitiding 8 h, QT nitriding 48 h specimens. Fish-eye type crack formation occurred and the two crack initiation modes, fish-eye crack initiation and surface crack initiation, were observed by the scanning electron microscope and discussed. The result showed that the fatigue strength of QT specimens were improved by 54% at least compared with the untreated specimens. But the QT and un-QT have the mainly same fatigue strength in the same plasma nitriding condition, especially no-improvement with the 48 h plasma nitriding specimens.

The study presented investigates the fatigue strength of the (α+β) Ti-6Al-4V-ELI titanium alloy processed by laser cutting with and without mechanical post-processing. The surface quality and possible notch effects as a consequence of non-optimized intermediate cutting parameters are characterized and evaluated. The microstructural changes in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) are documented in detail and compared to samples with a mechanically post-processed (barrel grinding, mechanical polishing) surface condition. The obtained results show a significant increase (≈50%) in fatigue strength due to mechanical post-processing correlating with decreased surface roughness and minimized notch effects when compared to the surface quality of the non-optimized laser cutting. The martensitic α’-phase is detected in the HAZ with the formation of distinctive zones compared to the initial equiaxial α+β microstructure. The HAZ could be removed up to 50% by means of barrel grinding and up to 100% through mechanical polishing. A fracture analysis revealed that the fatigue cracks always initiate on the laser-cut edges in the as-cut surface condition, which could be assigned to an irregular macro and micro-notch relief. However, the typical characteristics of the non-optimized laser cutting process (melting drops and significant higher surface roughness) lead to early fatigue failure. The fatigue cracks solely started from the micro-notches of the surface relief and not from the dross. As a consequence, the fatigue properties are dominated by these notches, which lead to significant scatter, as well as decreased fatigue strength compared to the surface conditions with mechanical finishing and better surface quality. With optimized laser-cutting conditions, HAZ will be minimized, and surface roughness strongly decreased, which will lead to significantly improved fatigue strength.

Application Fields

Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) of metals enables the manufacturing of highly complex geometries which opens new application fields in the medical sector, especially with regard to personalized implants. In comparison to conventional manufacturing techniques, L-PBF causes different microstructures, and thus, new challenges arise. The main objective of this work is to investigate the influence of different manufacturing parameters of the L-PBF process on the microstructure, process-induced porosity, as well as corrosion fatigue properties of the magnesium alloy WE43 and as a reference on the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. In particular, the investigated magnesium alloy WE43 showed a strong process parameter dependence in terms of porosity (size and distribution), microstructure, corrosion rates, and corrosion fatigue properties. Cyclic tests with increased test duration caused an especially high decrease in fatigue strength for magnesium alloy WE43. It can be demonstrated that, due to high process-induced surface roughness, which supports locally intensified corrosion, multiple crack initiation sites are present, which is one of the main reasons for the drastic decrease in fatigue strength.

Rotating Bending Fatigue

Specimen geometry and loading condition usually have a great influence on the fatigue strength of metallic materials, which is an important issue in evaluating the reliability of component parts. In this paper, a rotating bending fatigue test is performed at first on an hourglass specimen and a notch specimen of a high strength titanium alloy. Experimental results indicate that, in terms of local stress, the notch specimen endures higher fatigue strength in comparison with the hourglass specimen due to its relatively smaller control volume. Then, a probabilistic control volume method is proposed for correlating the effects of specimen geometry and loading condition on the fatigue strength based on Weibull distribution and the concept of control volume. A simple formula is obtained for the fatigue strength in relation to control volumes, in which the parameter is the shape parameter of Weibull distribution of fatigue strength. The predicted results are in good agreement with the present experimental data for high strength titanium alloy and the data for the high strength steel and the full scale EA4T axle in the literature.

Fatigue Properties

The Thermal spraying is one of the most popular surface coating techniques. To achieve the most efficient use of this technique in practice, it is very important to clarify the fatigue properties of steel coated with a thermal spray coating. In this study, to clarify the effects of coating thickness on the fatigue properties of the steel substrate, three types of sprayed specimens with different coating thickness (0.2, 0.5 and 1.0mm) were prepared and fatigue tests were carried out. Coating thickness strongly affected the fatigue properties; the thinner the coating thickness, the higher the fatigue strength. Fatigue crack propagation behaviors were observed. Accordingly the fatigue cracks propagated through many defects on the coated surface. The sizes and number of the coating defects were determined by coating thickness; the thicker the coating thickness, the larger the defect and number. Therefore, the sprayed specimens with thinner coatings indicated higher fatigue strength. Furthermore, estimations of the fatigue strength were performed by using Murakami's equation. The fatigue strengths of thermal spray coated specimens were estimated by three parameters; (i) maximum size of coating defects estimated by statistics of extreme value, (ii) hardness of the matrix and (iii) volume fraction of coating defects.

In the present study, fatigue tests have been performed to study the effect of pre-strain on fatigue properties of NHH (New Head-Hardened) rail. The objectives of this study were: (1) to observe the microscopic behavior of specimens during pre-strain process, (2) to research the influence of pre-strain on fatigue strength of NHH rail and (3) to investigate initiation and propagation behavior of the fatigue crack. The results showed that plastic pre-strain decreased the fatigue strength of NHH rail; fatigue limits had no obvious variation among the different pre-strain ratios. Fatigue cracks initiated in the microscopic cracking or slip lines that were originated in the pre-strain process and propagated from these sites in the later fatigue test.

Plastic Working

This study is focused to the effects of plastic working on the fatigue strength of Ti-6Al-4V alloy with notch. In general, the fatigue strength of plastic worked specimen is higher than that of non-worked one. However, the potential of hardening ability of Ti-6Al-4V alloy is very limited. Accordingly, the effect of work hardening on fatigue strength about this material is very small. In addition, the surface of the worked part becomes rougher with increasing plastic deformed value and the fatigue cracks initiate at this part. Consequently, the fatigue limit of the plastic worked specimen is lower than that of the non-plastic-worked one.

Stellite 12

The main task of this paper was to evaluate the influence of hardfacing technique and service temperature on the fatigue properties of heat-resistant steel X45CrSi9-3 coated with Co-based alloy Stellite 12. The results of rotating bending fatigue tests showed that at room temperature (RT), the fatigue strength of specimens welded by the acetylene gas welding (AGW) was lower than that of specimens welded by the plasma transferred arc welding (PTAW). For PTAW specimens, the fatigue strength at 500oC was much higher than that at RT. Two failure modes were presented, one was termed as the coating failure mode at RT and the other was termed as coating-interface failure mode at 500oC. The fatigue life prediction was conducted by using a modified Murakami’s model.

In order to study the application of laser cladding and laser shock processing (LSP) combinatorial treatment technology, the laser cladding samples of TC4 titanium alloy was shocked by pulse laser, then the surface residual stress, the fatigue life were compared with those without LSP in this paper. High cycle tension-compression fatigue tests were carried out in laser cladding titanium alloy before and after LSP treated. The results indicate that LSP treatment can improve the high cycle fatigue endurance limit of laser cladding titanium alloy effectively. The nano-crystal grained surface layer with residual compressive stress makes great contributions to the improvement in fatigue properties of titanium alloy.
