In this study, the effect of baking heat treatment on fatigue strength and fatigue life was evaluated by performing baking heat treatment after shot peening treatment on 4340M steel for landing gear. An ultrasonic fatigue test was performed to obtain the S–N curve, and the fatigue strength and fatigue life were compared. The micro hardness of shot peening showed a maximum at a hardened depth of about 50 μm and was almost uniform when it arrived at the hardened depth of about 400 μm. The overall average tensile strength after the baking heat treatment was lowered by about 80–111 MPa, but the yield strength was improved by about 206–262 MPa. The five cases of specimens showed similar fatigue strength and fatigue life in high cycle fatigue (HCF) regime. However, the fatigue limit of the baking heat treated specimens showed an increasing tendency rather than that of shot peening specimens when the fatigue life was extended to the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) regime. The effect of baking heat treatment was identified from improved fatigue limit when baking heat was used to treat the specimen treated by shot peening containing inclusions. The optimum temperature range for the better baking heat treatment effect could be constrained not to exceed maximum 246 °C.

Microstructures of Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr (TNTZ) aged at temperatures between 573 and 723 K after solution treatment at 1063 K have super fine omega phase, or􀀂 both super fine alpha and omega phases, respectively in beta phase with an average grain diameter of 20 µm. Plain fatigue strength of TNTZ aged after solution treatment is much greater than that of as-solutionized TNTZ in both low cycle fatigue and high cycle fatigue life regions. This is due to the improvement of the balance of strength and ductility by the precipitation of alpha phase. Fretting fatigue strength of TNTZ conducted with various heat treatments decreases dramatically as compared with their plain fatigue strength in both low cycle fatigue and high cycle fatigue life regions. In this case, the decreasing ratio of fretting fatigue life increases with increasing the small crack propagation area where both the tangential force and frictional force at the contact plane of pad exist. In fretting fatigue in air, the ratio of fretting damage (Pf/Ff), where Pf and Ff stand for plain fatigue limit and fretting fatigue limit, respectively, increases with increasing elastic modulus. In fretting fatigue in Ringer’s solution, the passive film on specimen surface is broken by fretting action in TNTZ, which have excellent corrosion resistance, and, as a result, corrosion pits that lead to decreasing fretting fatigue strength especially in high cycle fatigue life region, are formed on its surface.

This paper investigated the effect of shot-peening on fatigue strength of spring steel for the high cycle fatigue (HCF) and very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) to clarify the fatigue limit behavior of high strength spring steel during service life. Hourglass shape specimens made of spring steel (Si-Cr alloys) were prepared for the rotary bending fatigue test. Actual local stresses were quantitatively calculated to compensate for the stress amplitudes, through which it was clarified that the shot-peening had strongly positive effects on the HCF strength, but rather negative effect on the VHCF strength. The fish-eye fracturing process confirmed that most fish-eye fractures arose at sites deeper than the compressive residual stress zone, which did not prevent the creation of the fish-eye, and the fatigue strength improvement in the VHCF range could scarcely be shown as a result of the shot-peening treatment.

To investigate the influence of shot peening (SP) on very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) performance of 2024-T351, the specimens with three surface conditions were performed under ultrasonic fatigue tests: mechanicallypolished without peening (NP), ceramic shot peening (SP1), steel and glass mixed shot peening (SP2). The roughness, microhardness, residual stress, fractography measurement and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were applied before fatigue test to characterize the effective layer induced by the peening treatment. For the failed specimens, the fracture surface were analysed using SEM to study the mechanisms of fatigue crack propagation. In addition, the fatigue life curve in ultra-high cycle region continuously decreased in the three series of specimens. However, the experimental results revealed that fatigue strength improvement resulting from shot peening treatment was negligible in very high cycle regime. Furthermore, the stress intensity factor for the surface crack initiation (SCI) and interior crack initiation (ICI) was discussed based on quantitative analysis on the fracture surface. The average values of ΔKfish-eye for NP, SP1 and SP2 specimens are about 2.22, 1.48 and 1.61 MPa · m1/2, respectively.

The authors researched the effects of specimen size on the very high cycle fatigue properties of FV520B-I through ultrasonic fatigue testing. The test results showed that the very high cycle fatigue mechanism was not changed and the fatigue properties declined as the specimen size increased. The S-N curve moved downward and the fatigue life decreased under the same stress level maybe due to the heat effects of large specimens in tests. The fatigue strength and the fatigue life were predicted by relevant models. The prediction of fatigue strength was close to test result, and the prediction of fatigue life was less effective compared with the previous prediction of small size specimen test results.

Usefulness of the magnesium alloys for construction of structural components is determined, apart from their low density, by a number of favourable mechanical properties and in the case of their use for components of transport means additionally by good fatigue strength. In this study, 12 mm diameter extruded rods of AZ31 and AZ61 magnesium alloys were used as test material. After extrusion the rods were annealed at a temperature of 400°C, with a 60 min soaking period and subsequent cooling in air. Cylindrical specimens with a diameter of d0 = 8 mm were made for the fatigue test under high-cycle rotary bending conditions with the cycle asymmetry coefficient R = -1. The tests were carried out for a limited fatigue strength range. Examination of microstructure of tested alloys and fatigue fractography were also performed. During the high-cycle fatigue tests it was found that the AZ61 alloy has a longer fatigue life. Based on the obtained results, fatigue life characteristics of the tested materials were drawn up.

The work aims to study the influence of carburizing and nitriding on fatigue properties of 18Cr2Ni4WA high strength steel in very high cycle fatigue regime. Very high cycle fatigue tests were carried out on 18Cr2Ni4WA Steel after carburizing and nitriding respectively. The micro morphology of fatigue fracture was observed by scanning electron microscope, the failure mode and failure mechanism were discussed. The relationship between fatigue life and defect size, FGA size, fish eye size of fracture was analyzed. The characteristic size of defects is evaluated by Gumbel, Weibull and GEV distribution functions, and a modified Akiniwa fatigue life prediction model considering the relationship between FGA size and inclusion size was established. The results showed that, nitriding and carburizing treatment improve the surface fatigue limit of the steel. The fatigue life decreases with the increase of internal defect size and FGA size. After carburizing and nitriding treatment, the internal fatigue strength of the specimen decreases slightly. When the failure probability is 99%, the internal defect sizes of nitrided specimens calculated by Weibull, Gumbel and GEV distributions are 141.5 μm, 148.4 μm and 211.7 μm respectively. The calculated internal defect sizes of carburized specimens are 47 μm, 67.8 μm and 40 μm respectively. Compared with the experimental data, the fatigue strength predicted by GEV is the most appropriate. carburizing and nitriding treatment can improve the surface fatigue strength of 18Cr2Ni4WA steel, but slightly reduce the internal fatigue strength. The prediction result of the new model is conservative when the failure probability is 99%, which is suitable for engineering application.

In order to investigate the effect of SP treatment on the high cycle fatigue properties such as fatigue strength, crack initiation and propagation behaviors, rotating bending fatigue tests on shot-peening (SP) treated AC4CH aluminum alloy were carried out. The fatigue properties of the SP-treated material were compared with fatigue properties of the non-peened material, the hot isostatic pressure (HIP) treated material and the semi-liquid (SL) die casting material. the main conclusions obtained were, (1) The fatigue properties of SP-treated material is most excellent in all materials. (2) The fatigue life property of AC4CH alloys is significantly affected by fatigue crack initiation behavior. The reason why the SP-treated material has longer fatigue life than those of other material is that it has no cast defects near the surface by the effect of SP treatment. (3) The reason of fatigue life improvement by SP treatment is decrease of fatigue crack propagation rate.
