Fretting–fatigue behavior of steel wires in low cycle fatigue

The effect of strain amplitude on fretting–fatigue behavior of steel wires in low cycle fatigue was investigated using a fretting–fatigue test rig which was capable of applying a constant normal contact load. The fretting regime was identified based on the shape of the hysteresis loop of tangential force versus displacement amplitude. The variations of the normalized tangential force with increasing cycle numbers and fretting–fatigue lives at different strain amplitudes were explored. The morphologies of fretting contact scars after fretting–fatigue tests were observed by scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy to examine the failure mechanisms of steel wires. The acoustic emission technique was used to characterize the fretting–fatigue damage in the fretting–fatigue test. The results show that the fretting regimes are all located in mixed fretting regimes at different strain amplitudes. The increase in strain amplitude increases the normalized tangential force and decreases the fretting fatigue life. The abrasive wear, adhesive wear and fatigue wear are main wear mechanisms for all fretting–fatigue tests at different strain amplitudes. The accumulative total acoustic emission events during fretting–fatigue until fracture of the tensile steel wire decrease with increasing strain amplitude. An increase of the strain amplitude results in the accelerated crack nucleation and propagation and thereby the decreased life.     

THE EFFECT OF HARDNESS ON THE FRETTING FATIGUE OF ALLOY STEELS

The fretting fatigue behaviour of several alloy steels is reported in this paper. Fretting fatigue experiments were conducted on flat fretting junctions in axial tension at a stress ratio of 0.1. In all cases the same materials were fretted against each other. The fretting fatigue strength at a slip amplitude of 45 μ is rather insensitive to the hardness of the materials. The fretting fatigue strength at the slip amplitude of 10 μ increases with increase in hardness. As the slip amplitude increases the fretting fatigue life of 3SCrMo steel decreases, the depth of wear scars increases and the wear damage becomes more severe. The reason for similarity of fretting fatigue to the fatigue of notched specimens is that the effect of wear scars is similar to that of notches.     

A study on the combined effect of notch and fretting on the fatigue life behaviour of Al 7075-T6

In this study, an investigation was conducted on the fatigue performance of Al 7075-T6 plates in the presence of stress raisers (notch, fretting, and a combination of notch and fretting). Fretting situation was induced on the surface of the aluminium plate through steel contacting pads under two different clamping forces of 2 kN and 5.6 kN. The fatigue tests revealed a more dominant effect from stress concentrators originating from geometrical discontinuities such as the tested notch compared to the fretting wear conditions. Therefore, no noticeable differences were found between the fatigue lives of the notched specimens and the combined notch and fretting condition. A finite element stress analyses of the notched model under the contacting fretting pads agreed with the experimental results. The stress distribution at the clamped area introduced tensile stresses at the edge of the contact region, however, the stress at the notch tip was observed to be higher when an axial tensile load was applied to the end of the plate. Fractographic analyses confirmed the presence of cracks initiating from the fretting damaged surface for most of the combined notch and fretting fatigue test specimens particularly at the high cycle fatigue (HCF) zone.     

Multi‐axial fretting fatigue behaviour of 35CrMoA steel

The fretting fatigue behaviours in 35CrMoA steel were investigated under conditions of the various contact pressure and the same maximum equivalent stress of cyclic multi‐axial loading. The specimens were characterized by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that the fretting fatigue life has complex variation with the increase of contact pressure. The different contact pressure also played very important role in fretting wear model and various wear scars were formed. The influence of them at the fretting surface on the fretting fatigue life was finally discussed by the comparison of the experimental and numerical analysis results.     

Fretting fatigue behaviour of shot-peened Ti-6Al-4V at room and elevated temperatures

Fretting fatigue behaviour of shot‐peened titanium alloy, Ti‐6Al‐4V was investigated at room and elevated temperatures. Constant amplitude fretting fatigue tests were conducted over a wide range of maximum stresses, σ_max= 333 to 666 MPa with a stress ratio of R= 0.1 . Two infrared heaters, placed at the front and back of specimen, were used to heat and maintain temperature of the gage section of specimen at 260 °C. Residual stress measurements by X‐ray diffraction method before and after fretting test showed that residual compressive stress was relaxed during fretting fatigue. Elevated temperature induced more residual stress relaxation, which, in turn, decreased fretting fatigue life significantly at 260 °C. Finite element analysis (FEA) showed that the longitudinal tensile stress, σ_xx varied with the depth inside the specimen from contact surface during fretting fatigue and the largest σ_xx could exist away from the contact surface in a certain situation. A critical plane based fatigue crack initiation model, modified shear stress range parameter (MSSR), was computed from FEA results to characterize fretting fatigue crack initiation behaviour. It showed that stress relaxation during test affected fretting fatigue life and location of crack initiation significantly. MSSR parameter also predicted crack initiation location, which matched with experimental observations and the number of cycles for crack initiation, which showed the appropriate trend with the experimental observations at both temperatures.     

18CrNiMo7-6合金钢的弯曲微动疲劳特性

对18CrNiMo7-6合金钢进行弯曲微动疲劳实验,建立弯曲微动疲劳S-N曲线,并对实验结果进行分析。结果表明:该合金钢的弯曲微动疲劳S-N曲线不同于中碳钢材料,也不同于常规弯曲疲劳,而是呈"ε"型曲线特征。随着弯曲疲劳应力的增加,微动运行区域由部分滑移区向混合区和滑移区转变,损伤区的磨损机制以剥层、磨粒磨损和氧化磨损为主。在混合区内,裂纹最易萌生和扩展,且裂纹均萌生于材料接触区次表面。受接触应力和弯曲疲劳应力影响,弯曲微动疲劳裂纹的萌生和扩展可分为三个阶段:初期,在接触应力控制下,裂纹萌生于次表面;随后,裂纹受接触应力和弯曲疲劳应力共同控制,转向更大角度方向扩展;最后,裂纹完全受弯曲疲劳应力控制而垂直于接触表面扩展,直至断裂失效。     

Investigations on fretting fatigue in aircraft engine compressor blade

An investigation of several cracked blade tangs in the military aircraft engine compressor was conducted to identify the root cause of the failure. These cracks were found during the scheduled maintenance with fluorescent penetration inspection. The engine compressor blade made of Ti–6Al–4V is attached to compressor rotor by means of inserting retaining pin through rotor and blade tang. By analyzing the fracture surface of the failed blade tang, it is found that the crack in the blade tang was initiated by fretting fatigue and propagated under low cycle fatigue. Stress analysis of the blade using a non-linear finite element method is coincident with the results of fractography. The clearance between retaining pin and tang hole caused small amplitude of sliding motion leading to fretting wear during engine operation. Consequently, the damaged area due to fretting wear acts as a stress raiser inside tang hole and contributes to accelerate fretting fatigue.     

High cycle fatigue mechanisms of aluminum self‐piercing riveted joints

A study examining the fatigue failure mechanism of self‐piercing riveted (SPR) joints between aluminum alloy 6111‐T4 and 5754‐O is presented in this paper. In particular, the high‐cycle fatigue behavior of the SPR joints in the lap‐shear configuration is characterized. Experimental fatigue testing revealed that failure of SPR joints occurred because of cracks propagating through the sheet thickness at locations away from the rivet. In‐depth postmortem analysis showed that significant fretting wear occurred at the location of the fatigue crack initiation. Energy dispersive X‐ray of the fretting debris revealed the presence of aluminum oxide that is consistent with fretting initiated fatigue damage. High‐fidelity finite element analysis of the SPR process revealed high surface contact pressure at the location of fretting‐initiated fatigue determined by postmortem analysis of failed coupons. Furthermore, fatigue modeling predictions of the number of cycles to failure based on linear elastic fracture mechanics supports the conclusion that fretting‐initiated fatigue occurred at regions of high surface contact pressure and not at locations of nominal high‐stress concentration at the rivet.     

Effect of mean stress on fretting fatigue of Ti-6Al-4V on Ti-6Al-4V

Fretting fatigue tests of Ti‐6Al‐4V on Ti‐6Al‐4V have been conducted to determine the influence of stress amplitude and mean stress on life. The stress ratio was varied from R=−1 to 0.8. Both flat and cylindrical contacts were studied using a bridge‐type fretting fatigue test apparatus operating either in the partial slip or mixed fretting regimes. The fretting fatigue lives were correlated to a Walker equivalent stress relation. The influence of mean stress on fretting fatigue crack initiation, characterized by the value of the Walker exponent, is smaller compared with plain fatigue. The fretting fatigue knockdown factor based on the Walker equivalent stress is 4. Formation of fretting cracks is primarily associated with the tangential force amplitude at the contact interface. A simple fretting fatigue crack initiation metric that is based on the strength of the singular stress field at the edge of contact is evaluated. The metric has the advantage in that it is neither dependent on the coefficient of friction nor the location of the stick/slip boundary, both of which are often difficult to define with certainty a priori.
