This paper presents the results of fatigue tests of titanium alloy, and also describes the use of the hypothesis of linear damage summation when processing the results of fatigue tests. On the basis of the experiments, the endurance limit of the titanium alloy was determined, which lies in the range from 460 to 480 MPa with the number of cycles from 105 to 108. The purpose of the experiment was to determine the endurance limit of high strength material, as well as a mathematical measurement of the expected destruction. In this study, empirical methods were used such as indirect observation of the object under study, description and measurement of technical influences exerted on it by an artificial means, as well as linear regression analysis to establish the relationship between stress and durability. As a result of the experiment, fatigue curves were obtained for various probabilities, which give grounds to conclude that the use of the linear damage summation hypothesis in processing the results of fatigue tests entails a satisfactory practical accuracy of the calculation of endurance limit. This experiment is aimed at improving metal production by studying the quality of titanium alloy test pieces and performing mathematical analysis of possible problems arising in the process of its operational testing.

The demand for high-strength components for commercial vehicles has recently increased. Conventional gas nitrocarburizing has been used to increase strength and productivity of the crankshaft. A potential-controlled nitriding process was recently developed to control the crystal structure of the nitride compound layer. It has been found that this treatment improves the bending fatigue strength compared with conventional treatment, and has the potential to cope with the increase in crankshaft strength. However, the effect of torsional fatigue strength has not been studied. Therefore, in this study, the influence of the crystal structure of the nitride compound layer on torsional fatigue strength was investigated. Two kinds of test specimens with different crystal structures of the compound layer were prepared using gas nitriding treatment with controlled nitriding potential for an alloy steel bar (JIS-SCM435). Torsional fatigue tests were carried out using these test specimens. Although the compound layer of these test specimens had different crystal structures, the hardness distribution and residual stress distribution on the diffusion layer were almost the same. The relationship between stress amplitude and number of cycles to failure (S-N curve) showed that the torsional fatigue limits of the specimens were almost the same. This indicates that the crystal structure of the nitride compound layer did not affect the torsional fatigue limits, because the origin of the torsional fatigue failure is inside the specimen.

The research focuses on the influence of the surface condition on the resource of high-strength titanium alloy VT-22 landing gear details during fatigue tests. The tests were performed on special facilities that simulate the workload on a rod detail at the stage of extending and retraction of the landing gear. Fatigue tests were performed on four rods. Rods № 1-3 were destroyed at the lugs level, rod №4 withstood the entire cycle of loads, and was examined in an undamaged state. It was found that the cause of the failure of the rod №1 was axial play formation as a result of bracket lug deformation, which led to shock loads on the lug of the rod №1 during the tests. The destruction of the rod №2 could be caused by the shock axial loads due to changes in the characteristics and load values of the facility on the rod №2. The priority factor influencing the premature failure of the rod №3 was the high risks from surface machining in the most loaded part of the rod №3, namely at the R-junction of the cylindrical part to the lug. The presence of surface defects formed during the manufacturing stage, as well as the presence of deep scratches in the area with high load reduce the life of rod № 3 fivefold compared to the undamaged rod № 4, which had no visible surface defects. Surface damage detected in the non-chromized area of the rods can be eliminated by blasting with subsequent surface polishing, which will provide the required resource of the detail (rod № 4). Keywords: high-strength titanium alloy VT-22, rod, fatigue tests, surface defects, structure of the surface layer.

We consider and analyze general methodological issues regarding the strength and endurance (life-time) of the materials and structure elements under a combined effect of various force, deformation and temperature factors. The Journal "Zavodskaya laboratoriya. Diagnostika materialov" (Industrial laboratory. Diagnostics of materials) has launched systematic publications on this problematic since 2018. For many decades, domestic and foreign laboratory studies have gleaned to a traditional methodology for obtaining initial curves of the long-term and cyclic strength that related the breaking stresses with time or number of cycles. These curves, with the characteristic sections and break points, separating the areas of elastic and inelastic (plastic strain or creep strain) strain, are used in analysis of long-term and cyclic damage. Using the elementary linear law of damage summation, it is possible to calculate at a first approximation the strength and endurance under varying conditions of loading. Stepping up the requirements to the accuracy of calculations necessitates a transition from force fracture criteria (at stresses a) to deformation criteria (in elastic and inelastic deformations e). Thus, it becomes possible to construct and use a unified expression for the curve of the long-term cyclic fracture (taking into account the temporal x and cyclic N factors) and a long-term cyclic damage. With such approach it is possible to remain the linear law of damage summation though those damages are obviously nonlinear. The goal of the study is to continue and support the discussion of the most complex problems of a comprehensive assessment of the strength, resource, survivability and safety of high-risk engineering equipment within the journal pages.
