Structure of bimetallic composite obtained during explosive welding process exhibits strong heterogeneity in the vicinity of interface. The interface usually has a wavy shape with characteristic increase of hardness and largely deformed grains. Recently obtained fatigue tests for titanium-steel bimetal specimens under fully reversed push-pull loading show ratcheting phenomenon. In order to investigate this phenomenon mechanical testing and structural observations of titanium-steel bimetal and titanium before cladding have been performed. Fatigue characteristics in the form of relation between strain amplitude and fatigue life for titanium (Grade 1), steel (S355J2+N) and bimetal will be presented.

The development and application of friction stir welding (FSW) technology in steel structures in the shipbuilding industry provide an effective tool of achieving superior joint integrity especially where reliability and damage tolerance are of major concerns. Since the shipbuilding components are inevitably subjected to dynamic or cyclic stresses in services, the fatigue properties of the friction stir welded joints must be properly evaluated to ensure the safety and longevity. This research intends to fulfill a clear knowledge gap that exists nowadays and, as such, it is dedicated to the study of welded steel shipbuilding joints in GL-A36 steel, with 4 mm thick. The fatigue resistance of base material and four plates in as-welded condition (using several different parameters, tools and pre-welding conditions) were investigated. The joints culminate globally with defect-free welds, from which tensile, microhardness, and fatigue analyses were performed. The fatigue tests were carried out with a constant amplitude loading, a stress ratio of R=0.1 and frequency between 100 and 120 Hz. The experimental results show the quality of the welding process applied to steel GL-A36 which is reflected in the mechanical properties of joints tested.

Thermal fatigue is a complex phenomenon encountered in materials exposed to cyclically varying temperatures in the presence or absence of external load. Continually increasing working temperature and growing need for greater efficiency and reliability of automotive exhaust require immediate investigation into the thermal fatigue properties especially of high temperature stainless steels. In this study, thermal fatigue properties of 304 and 429EM stainless steels have been evaluated in the temperature ranges of 200-800oC and 200-900oC. Systematic methods for control of temperatures within the predetermined range and measurement of load applied to specimens as a function of temperature during thermal cycles have been established. Thermal fatigue tests were conducted under fully constrained condition, where both ends of specimens were completely fixed. Thermal fatigue property of STS 304 was superior to that of STS 429EM. Load relaxation behavior at the temperatures of thermal cycle was closely related with the thermal fatigue property.

This paper presents the results of tests conducted on the HR6W (23Cr-45Ni-6W-Nb-Ti-B) alloy under low-cycle fatigue at room temperature and at 650 °C. Fatigue tests were carried out at constant values of the total strain ranges. The alloy under low-cycle fatigue showed cyclic strengthening both at room temperature and at 650 °C. The degree of HR6W strengthening described by coefficient n’ was higher at higher temperatures. At the same time, its fatigue life Nf at room temperature was, depending on the range of total strain adopted in the tests, several times higher than observed at 650 °C.

In this study, the fatigue characteristics of aluminum alloys and mechanical components were investigated. To evaluate the effect of forging, fatigue specimens with the same chemical compositions were prepared from billets and forged mechanical components. To evaluate the cleanliness of the aluminum alloys, the cross-sectional area of specimens was observed, and the maximum inclusion sizes were obtained using extreme value statistics. Rotary bending fatigue tests were performed, and the fracture surfaces of the specimens were analyzed. The results show that the forging process not only elevated the fatigue strength but also reduced the scatter of the fatigue life of aluminum alloys. The fatigue characteristics of C-specimens were obtained to develop finite-element method (FEM) models. With the intrinsic fatigue properties and strain–life approach, the FEM analysis results agreed well with the test results.

Low cycle fatigue (LCF) properties of a powder metallurgy(PM) nickel base superalloy FGH720Li were systematically studied in this work, including smooth LCF and notched LCF tested at various temperatures and different stress. The relationship between the fatigue life and applied stress was analyzed both for smooth fatigue and notch fatigue tests. The effects of loading frequency and stress ratio on LCF behavior were also studied. As an important influencing factor of the fatigue life in powder metallurgy superalloy, the effect of inclusions on LCF life was also investigated. The results showed that the fatigue properties of FGH720Li alloy was excellent, when tested at the temperature of 450°C and applied stress of 1230MPa, the fatigue life could exceed 5×104 cycles. When tested at 650°C and 1150MPa, the average fatigue life was still beyond 2×105 cycles.

The objective of the present study was to estimate the influence of laser shock peening on the fatigue properties of AA2024-T3 specimens with a fastener hole and to investigate the possibility to heal the initial cracks in such specimens. Fatigue cracks of different lengths were introduced in the specimens with a fastener hole before applying laser shock peening. Deep compressive residual stresses, characterized by the hole drilling method, were generated into the specimens by applying laser shock peening on both sides. Subsequently, the specimens were subjected to fatigue tests. The results show that laser shock peening has a positive effect regarding the fatigue life improvement in the specimens with a fastener hole. In addition, laser shock peening leads to a healing effect on fatigue cracks. The efficiency of this effect depends on the initial crack length. The effect of laser shock peening on the fatigue life periods was determined by using resonant frequency graphs.

High Pressure Water Jet

An experimental study of high pressure water jet peening treatment on chromium steal SCr420 H3V2L2 is conducted to study the effects of cavitation impacts of high-speed water on fatigue crack initiation and propagation of notched specimens. There are six different kinds of specimens. First three kinds are treated with; only annealing, only water quenching, and only oil quenching. Other three kinds are treated with above heat treatment and water jet peening, respectively. An axial tensile fatigue tests’ condition is 260MPa maximum stress amplitude, 0 stress ratio and 10Hz frequency, while in-situ observation by SEM is employed. Although fatigue life of the specimens with annealing and water jet peening is shorter than that of only annealing, fatigue life of water and oil quenching with water jet peening specimens is obviously longer than those without water jet peening treatment. Water jet peening has increased residual stress inside the specimens on the latter case and raised their fatigue strength. In-situ observation on the crack tips approves above analysis.

In this study, 16Mo3 steel was analysed for fatigue tests under tension-compression and oscillatory bending conditions. The analysis involved a comparison of fatigue test results obtained using the Manson-Coffin-Basquin, Langer and Kandil models and the models proposed by Kurek-Łagoda. It was observed that it is possible to substitute the basic tension-compression test performed in large testing machines with oscillatory bending tests carried out on a simple, modern test stand. The tests were performed under oscillatory bending on a prototype machine. The testing of 16Mo3 steel proved that the best-known Mason-Coffin-Basquin fatigue characteristic describes the results of all of the experimental tests very well, but the model can only be used when it is possible to divide strains into elastic and plastic components. It should be emphasised here that there is no such possibility in the case of tests performed under oscillatory bending conditions. It was proven that the proposed test method can substitute the tension-compression test very well and be a much more cost efficient way to obtain LCF material fatigue properties.

The paper contains the results of fatigue tests of smooth and notched specimens made of 10HNAP (S355J2G1W) subjected to proportional cyclic loading with use of mean values stress. The results obtained for specimens under bending, torsion and one combination of bending with torsion for four mean values have been compared. The experimental data have been collected in the tables and shown in the figures with use of various σa(τa)-N fatigue characteristics for which parameters of the regression equations have been determined. The influence of average values on the allowable stress amplitudes and amplitude of moments at the level close to the fatigue limit depending on the angle α determining loading combination and the average stress is also shown. The greatest effect of the notch on fatigue life compared to smooth specimens is observed at symmetrical loads. At unsymmetrical loads with non-zero mean stress, this effect clearly weakens or disappears.
