The influence of thermal fatigue test temperature on crack propagation behavior of the surface treated tool steel for die-casting was investigated. For this purpose, thermal fatigue system consisted of induction heating and water spray quenching unit was constructed to simulate the service condition and Lm is proposed as the index representing the susceptibility to crack initiation and propagation. The thermal fatigue tests were conducted at the maximum temperature of 600°C, 700°C and 720°C using as-heat treated or nitrided specimens. The ion nitrided specimen showed lower Lm value than as-heat treated at all test temperature. But in the case of maximum and average crack length, the ion nitrided specimen exhibited higher value than those of as-heat treated specimen.

Crack Propagation Behavior

The influence of nitriding type and condition on the thermal crack propagation behavior of hot work die steel was investigated. Thermal fatigue tests were carried out using a special apparatus, which is consisted of induction heating and water spray cooling unit. The sum of crack length per unit specimen length, Lm is proposed as an index representing the susceptibility to crack propagation. The Lm values of the gas and ion nitrided specimens were lower than that of as-heat treated specimen. But in the case of maximum and average crack length of nitrided specimen was higher than those of as-heat treated specimen. The nitrogen diffusion layer still remained although the oxide scale was formed and fell off during thermal fatigue test. After 1000 cycles of the thermal fatigue test, the interior region of nitrided specimen showed lower hardness by softening. In particular, ion nitrided specimens of relatively less softening condition showed reduction both the depth and number of cracks compared with the other surface conditions.

Thermal Fatigue Test

Thermal fatigue tests of superalloy GH536 were carried out at different maximum temperature. Three-dimensional numerical finite element computations were performed to simulate thermal fatigue test process. The crack initiation, propagation and thermal fatigue failure mechanism of GH536 plate at different maximum temperatures were obtained by experiments and numerical methods. Result shows that the crack initiation life is shortened and the crack growth rate is accelerated with the increase of the maximum temperature of thermal fatigue test. The numbers of appearing 1 mm length cracks are 180, 74 and 37, respectively, when the maximum temperature is 800°C, 850°C and 900°C respectively. So the thermal fatigue performance decreases with the increase of the maximum temperature. But in the thermal fatigue tests of different maximum temperature, the thermal fatigue crack initiation is all caused by a single crack initiation source, and the thermal fatigue cracks initiate transgranularly, develop and propagate intergranularly.

Fatigue cracking in steel girder web penetration details is so dangerous that it can break steel girders. A one-meter-long crack was detected in Yamazoe Bridge in 2006. Since a number of highway bridges with such web penetration details may exist in Japan, it is of urgent importance to understand these fatigue-strength properties. However, few fatigue tests have been reported on steel girder web penetration details. The purpose of this study is to clarify fatigue behavior of steel girder web penetration details with a slit through fatigue tests of specimens with these details. We designed and fabricated girder specimens that have steel girder web penetration details, in which cross-beam bottom flanges are connected to each top or bottom surface of a slit by welding. First, we conducted static loading tests to understand the stress distributions around web penetration details. Second, we conducted fatigue tests to examine fatigue crack initiation and propagation behavior and fatigue strength.

Fatigue failures of rails often occur at the rail foot, since the geometry of this zone gives rise to stress concentrations under service loads or defects during rail manufacture and installation. In this paper, the fatigue behavior of cracks at the web/foot region of a rail is analyzed numerically. Analytical models in the literature for a semi-elliptical surface crack in a finite plate assume that the geometry of the front remains semi-elliptical during the whole propagation phase and the ellipse axes do not undergo translations or rotations. Fatigue tests show that this is not the case for such cracks in rails. A predictive model for crack growth has been developed by assuming an initial small crack at one probable initiation point between the web and foot of the rail in reference to a service condition loading. SIF values have been estimated by means of the finite element method and the plastic radius correction. The results attained were compared with crack growth experimental data.

This paper deals with the fatigue behavior and its statistical properties of SM490A steel at various temperatures, which is utilized in the railway vehicle. For these goals, the tensile ad fatigue tests were performed by using a servo-hydraulic fatigue testing machine at three temperatures: +20°C, -10°C and -40°C. The static strength and fatigue limits of SM490A steel were increased with decreasing of test temperature. The probabilistic properties of fatigue behavior are investigated by means of probabilistic stress-life (P-S-N) curve and they are well in conformance with the experimental results regardless of temperature. Also, based on P-S-N curves, the variation of fatigue life is investigated and as the temperature decreases, the variation of fatigue life increases moderately.

The thermal fatigue behavior of type 309 austenitic stainless steel was investigated by cyclic tests ranged from 100 °C to the maximum temperatures 800 and 900 °C. The microstructures of the specimens were characterized by optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. With changing the maximum temperature from 800 to 900 °C, the stainless steel exhibits much lower strength, higher elongation and a decrease of fatigue life about 56.6%. After the thermal fatigue failure, the specimens show micro-void coalescence fractures caused by the creep during the holding period at the maximum temperatures, and the quasi-cleavage feature also appears in the case of the maximum temperature 800 °C. During the thermal fatigue processes, the cavities usually form at the grain and twin boundaries, facilitating the initiation and growth of cracks. Furthermore, the high-temperature oxidation produces oxides on the specimen surfaces and in the cracks, deteriorating thermal fatigue properties. With an increase in the maximum temperature, the enhanced synergetic effect of strength, grain size, creep and oxidation is responsible for the accelerated fatigue failure of 309 stainless steel during the thermal cycles.

Open link lifting chain is routinely proof loaded during manufacture. However, the effect of residual stresses imposed by this operation on the fatigue strength of the chain has not been quantitatively investigated. This paper discusses the results of constant amplitude fatigue tests on open link chain segments which have received proof loading at various levels. The chain was initially heat treated to relieve manufacturing residual stresses and then proof loaded at levels ranging from 0 to 82 percent of its break strength. Tests were performed at two different mean loads and four different load amplitudes. Failure site trends are noted as a function of applied loading and are correlated with results of a finite element stress analysis. Residual stresses are estimated using strains measured from strain gages placed at critical locations on individual links during the proof load operation. Residual stress estimates are used with standard fatigue damage parameters to estimate the fatigue life of the chain and predictions are compared to data. Proof loading was shown to substantially increase the fatigue life of the chain. Residual stresses can explain the increase in fatigue life. Neuber’s rule demonstrated the ability to model the data trends.

AbstractEuropean Bronze and Iron Age vitrified hillforts have been known since the 1700s, but archaeological interpretations regarding their function and use are still debated. We carried out a series of experiments to constrain conditions that led to the vitrification of the inner wall rocks in the hillfort at Broborg, Sweden. Potential source rocks were collected locally and heat treated in the laboratory, varying maximum temperature, cooling rate, and starting particle size. Crystalline and amorphous phases were quantified using X-ray diffraction both in situ, during heating and cooling, and ex situ, after heating and quenching. Textures, phases, and glass compositions obtained were compared with those for rock samples from the vitrified part of the wall, as well as with equilibrium crystallization calculations. ‘Dark glass’ and its associated minerals formed from amphibolite or dolerite rocks melted at 1000–1200 °C under reducing atmosphere then slow cooled. ‘Clear glass’ formed from non-equilibrium partial melting of feldspar in granitoid rocks. This study aids archaeological forensic investigation of vitrified hillforts and interpretation of source rock material by mapping mineralogical changes and glass production under various heating conditions.

Isothermal Fatigue

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.
