316L不锈钢的疲劳裂纹扩展行为试验

 工程构件普遍承受疲劳载荷,从而导致疲劳失效。针对由316L不锈钢制成的标准紧凑拉伸试样,开展了一系列疲劳裂纹扩展试验。试验内容包括不同应力比下的常幅加载和在常幅加载过程中引入单个拉伸过载峰。试验结果表明：316L不锈钢具有很强的应力比效应,裂纹扩展速率随应力比的增大而增大。在引入单个拉伸过载峰后,观察到出现迟滞效应前发生了短暂的加速扩展现象。通过一种新的双参数模型来描述材料的应力比效应,并使用改进的Wheeler模型对过载后的裂纹扩展行为进行预测。预测结果表明：该方法能够更好地描述不同工况下316L不锈钢的疲劳裂纹扩展行为。     

基于有限元方法的疲劳裂纹闭合行为

基于声发射测试的钢丝疲劳损伤过程

应用声发射（ＡＥ）技术对制绳钢丝疲劳损伤过程进行动态监测。结果表明疲劳伤普遍产生于钢丝长度方向上的不同部位,所有部位的损伤经过钢丝初始塑性变形阶段之后都同时进入一个长期的慢速发展阶段,在此期间主导裂纹形成,由于主民裂纹以快速扩展方式发展,因而疲劳寿命主要由主裂纹孕育及生成期构成。     

基于夹杂-细晶粒区-鱼眼疲劳失效的超长寿命预测模型

本文旨在研究夹杂-细晶粒区-鱼眼诱发疲劳失效的超长寿命预测模型.基于Cr-Ni-W合金钢疲劳试验结果,结合局部应力-寿命法和位错-能量法,分别构建了局部裂纹萌生寿命模型(LCIL)和考虑夹杂及细晶粒区影响的裂纹萌生寿命模型(IFCIL),并与Tanaka-Mura模型(T-M)进行了对比分析.其次,分别对细晶粒区内的小裂纹扩展行为和细晶粒区外鱼眼内的长裂纹扩展行为进行建模,最终形成了包含裂纹萌生和扩展在内的全寿命预测模型.结果表明,考虑夹杂及细晶粒区影响的裂纹萌生寿命模型(IFCIL)有较高的预测精度;对应细晶粒区的裂纹萌生寿命几乎等同于全寿命;裂纹扩展寿命仅占据全寿命很小的一部分;预测结果全部处于2倍偏差以内,即全寿命模型可有效地用于夹杂-细晶粒区-鱼眼诱发失效的超长寿命预测.

Creep-fatigue interaction in austenitic stainless steels

Low cycle fatigue failures occur by the initiation and controlled growth of a surface crack. The development of crack propagation models, based on continuum mechanics, have enabled successful predictions of fatigue life at both room and elevated temperatures. This paper attempts to extend such models to cover the situations in which creep damage, introduced during periods of stress relaxation, influences the rate of growth of the surface fatigue crack. Equations predicting fatigue life as a function of hold period are in good agreement with experimental data, for Type 304 stainless steel, Type 316 stainless steel and Incoloy-800.     

Fatigue crack growth in a type 316 stainless steel and a 20 pet Cr/25 pet Ni/Nb stainless steel at elevated temperature

Fatigue failure in metals and alloys occurs by the nucleation and controlled propagation of a surface crack. At ambient temperature propagation is transgranular and is controlled, to a large extent, by continuum plasticity effects at the crack tip. At elevated temperatures this simple process might be affected by oxidation and the tendency towards intergranular propagation. The elevated temperature fatigue crack propagation behavior of a 20/25/Nb stainless steel and a type 316 stainless steel is studied by optical measurement of the crack growth rate of artificially-induced notches under conditions where gross plastic straining is present in the bulk of the material. Tests conducted at ambient temperature are included for comparison with elevated temperature behavior. By reference to fatigue life data for smooth unnotched specimens, tested under identical conditions to the crack growth tests, an attempt is made to rationalize the roles of crack initiation and propagation in the fatigue process and indicate the relevance of crack growth data in predicting fatigue life data.     

Strain controlled fatigue deformation and fracture of nitrogen alloyed 316LN austenitic stainless steel

In this paper, Low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of 316LN austenitic stainless steel alloyed with 0.078 and 0.22 wt% nitrogen, designated as N078 and N022 steels respectively, is compared in the temperature range 300–873 K by strain controlled fatigue tests at ± 0.6% strain amplitude. Interestingly, N022 steel showed continuous decrease in fatigue life with temperature in contrast to N078 steel which showed maximum in fatigue life at 573 K. Drastic reduction in fatigue life is observed in both the steels in the temperature range 673–873 K and has been attributed to the occurrence of dynamic strain aging. Both steels exhibited manifestations (for ex.: decrease in plastic strain and anomalous stress response with increase in temperature) corresponding to the occurrence of Dynamic Strain Ageing (DSA) in the above temperature range. Under all testing conditions, fracture surfaces revealed transgranular crack initiation and transgranular crack propagation.     

Creep strengthening of low carbon grade type 316LN stainless steel by nitrogen

Nitrogen-alloyed 316LN stainless steel is used as a structural material for high temperature fast breeder reactor components. With a view to increase the design life of the components up to 60 years and beyond, studies are being carried out to develop nitrogen alloyed 316LN stainless steel with superior tensile, creep and low cycle fatigue properties. This paper presents the results from studies on the influence of nitrogen on the high temperature creep properties of this material. The influence of nitrogen on the creep behaviour of 316LN stainless steel has been studied at nitrogen levels of 0.07, 0.11, 0.14 and 0.22 wt%. Creep tests were carried out at 923 K at stress levels 140, 175, 200 and 225 MPa. Creep rupture strength increased substantially with increase in nitrogen content. The variation of steady state creep rate with stress showed a power law relationship. The power law exponent varied between 6.4 and 13.7 depending upon the nitrogen content. Rupture ductility was generally above 40% at all the test conditions and for all the nitrogen contents. It was observed that the internal creep damage and surface damage decreased with increase in nitrogen content. Fracture mode was found to generally shift from intergranular failure to transgranular failure with increasing nitrogen content.

Crack propagation rates of austenitic stainless steels under high-temperature low-cycle fatigue conditions

Crack propagation rates of austenitic stainless steels under high temperature low-cycle fatigue conditions were obtained from the fracture surfaces. The crack propagation, rates were expressed as a function of the crack length, independent of the mode of cracks. The proportion of the cycles corresponding to stage II to the fatigue life could be expressed as a function of the fatigue life. The crack propagation rate for solution treated Type 321 steel at 700°C could be expressed as functions of the plastic strain range, the strain-rate, and the crack length.
