An attempt has been made to visually simulate fatigue crack propagation from a precrack. An integrated program was developed
for this purpose. The crack-tip shape was determined at four load positions in the first load cycle. The final shape was a
blunt front with an “ear” profile at the precrack tip. A more general model, schematically illustrating the mechanism of fatigue
crack growth and striation formation in a ductile material, was proposed based on this simulation. According to the present
model, fatigue crack growth is an intermittent process; cyclic plastic shear strain is the driving force applied to both state
I and II crack growth. No fracture mode transition occurs between the two stages in the present study. The crack growth direction
alternates, moving up and down successively, producing fatigue striations. A brief examination has been made of the crack
growth path in a ductile two-phase material. 相似文献

The nickel-base alloys IN 617 and HAYNES 230 for welded high-temperature components have been subjected to thermal fatigue
(TF) loading. In a series of TF tests in air, single wedge specimens were induction heated and compressed-air cooled at the
leading edge for various temperature cycles between 200 °C and either 850 °C, 950 °C, or 1050 °C. The test rigs permitted
simultaneous measurements of temperature and total strain along the edge of specimen during TF cycling. Both materials have
been tested in conditions relevant for hot path components in the gas turbines, e.g., “as delivered,” “welded,” and “welded + notched”. Under identical temperature cycles and thermal gradients, HAYNES 230 showed
a higher TF strength than IN 617 in the as-delivered condition. It is suggested that this advantage of HAYNES 230 is primarily
related to its lower value of the relevant combination of properties of this alloy: coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal
conductivity, elastic modulus, ultimate tensile strength, taken at maximal operating temperature. In addition, the advantage
of the HAYNES 230 is described by a lower plastic strain, which is induced at the wedge region during TF loading. Moreover,
microstructural details of crack initiation, crack propagation, and reactions with the gaseous environment play an important
role. Both alloys investigated in the present work showed plastic deformation with a maximum in the central zone of the wedge
tip. In this zone, slip bands and grain distortion occurred, whereas both ends of the wedge tip free of visible plastic deformation.
The TF cycles led to multiple transgranular crack initiation and propagation. In welded specimens of IN 617 and HAYNES 230,
cracks appeared first in the center of the weld. The susceptibility of welds to TF cracking depends considerably on the weld
filler and the surface quality. It was shown for HAYNES 230 that a mismatched weld could reduce the TF life to less than 50
pct of non-welded specimens. The lower TF-fatigue strength of the welded specimens can be explained by the difficulty of the
cast alloy in the welded zone to accommodate the repeated thermal shocks by plastic deformation. Notches introduced in the
heat-affected zone (depth about 0.1 mm) reduced the TF life of both alloys by a factor as high as 4. The thermal fatigue strength
of the welded material can almost reach the values of the base alloy provided the use of matching electrodes, post-weld heat
treatment, and grinding off the weld beads is carefully executed. 相似文献

A damage equation based upon the integration of low cycle fatigue plastic strain ranges was verified experimentally for two
high strength aluminum alloys 2024-T4 and 7075-T651. The damage equation which has been used extensively for many fatigue
crack propagation theories assumes cyclic damage under increasing plastic strain ranges. In order to verify the damage equation,
low cycle fatigue specimens were subjected to a fully reversed strain cycle in which the total strain-range was increased
linearly by a constant amount Δ[Δεd] per cycle. An excellent agreement was obtained between the predicted and observed fatigue lifetimes. The stress-strain response
of these alloys was also measured. The experimental results showed that these two alloys cyclically harden substantially and
that the single strain increment stress-strain curve is a fair lower bound approximation of the cyclic stress-strain curve. 相似文献

Strain-controlled fatigue tests have been conducted on center-holed 304 stainless steel specimens. The fraction of total fatigue
life spent until formation of an “engineering” crack ranged from about 15 to 85 pct, indicating the potential importance of
being able to predict the fatigue crack formation life. A “just formed engineering crack,” as defined here, is a through crack
long in the thickness direction, which has just emerged from the center hole. An energy based parameter, ΔσrΔε,, has been
shown to correlate with the appearance of fatigue cracks in the center-holed 304 stainless steel specimens. This parameter
is suggested to be more useful in predicting fatigue crack formation life than Δσ or Δε, alone. A good correlation was found
over the limited range of data for two types of 304 stainless steel, a powder metallurgy (PM) stainless steel with higher
than normal strength prop-erties and an ingot metallurgy (IM) stainless steel with normal strength properties. A better correlation
was found for strain-controlled fatigue tests which did not go into compressive strain than for com-pletely reversed fatigue.

Fracture-mechanics experiments were carried out on ultrafine-grained (UFG) samples of aluminum and two Al alloys to obtain
the fracture behavior under static and cyclic loading. The UFG materials investigated show crack resistance behavior under
static loading, which was confirmed by ductile fracture surfaces. Under cyclic load, the crack growth rate was described well
by the ESACRACK model. The crack propagation results show no influence of the type of the severe plastic deformation method
in the Paris region but more effect in the threshold region.

An investigation was made on the strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue (LCF) of K40S cobalt-base superalloy at 900 °C in ambient
atmosphere. The results show that K40S alloy possesses high LCF resistance in comparison with X-40 alloy. Under the testing
conditions in this study, K40S alloy exhibits a cyclic stress response of initial hardening followed by softening. The cyclic
stress response behavior has been attributed to dislocation-dislocation interactions and dislocation-precipitate interactions.
The high response stress can lead to a large stress concentration at locations where inelastic strains of high amplitude accumulate,
which account for the decreasing fatigue life with increasing strain rate. The well-distributed carbide particles are the
“secondary” crack initiation sites. The secondary crack initiation relaxes the stress concentration at the crack tip, reducing
the driving force of crack propagation. High-temperature LCF failure of K40S alloy results from the interaction of the mechanical
fatigue and environmental oxidation. 相似文献

Current workers who deal with fatigue crack propagation mechanisms express the view that fracture surface striations are formed
at the start of a tensile stroke instead of the end of a compressive stroke, as required by the older mechanism of the “plastic
blunting process” (PBP). The current views are criticized and new fractographic evidence is presented in support of the PBP
mechanism. The effects of a nonzero mean stress and of environment are also discussed. Variable amplitude tests are shown
to be useful in dealing with questions about crack propagation kinetics. 相似文献

The 150 °C cyclic response of peak-aged and overaged 2219/TiC/15p and 2219 Al was examined using fully reversed plastic strain-controlled
testing. The cyclic response of peak-aged and overaged particle-reinforced materials showed extensive cyclic softening. This
softening began at the commencement of cycling and continued until failure. At a plastic strain below 5 × 103, the unreinforced materials did not show evidence of cyclic softening until approximately 30 pct of the life was consumed.
In addition, the degree of cyclic softening (†σ) was significantly lower in the unreinforced microstructures. The cyclic softening
in both reinforced and unreinforced materials was attributed to the decomposition of the θ′ strengthening precipitates. The
extent of the precipitate decomposition was much greater in the composite materials due to the increased levels of local plastic
strain in the matrix caused by constrained deformation near the TiC particles.

The low-cycle fatigue behavior of an as-extruded AM50 magnesium alloy has been investigated. The cyclic stress response of
the alloy strongly depends on the imposed strain amplitude. It is also noted that at the higher total strain amplitudes, the
alloy exhibits a pronounced anisotropic deformation behavior in the direction of tension and compression, where the width
of the σ-ε hysteresis loop in the compressive direction is greater than that in the tensile direction. At the total strain amplitude
of 1.5 pct, a serrated flow can be observed in both tensile and compressive directions of the σ-ε hysteresis loop. This means that dynamic strain aging takes place during fatigue deformation. The relation between elastic
and plastic strain amplitudes with reversals to failure shows a monotonic linear behavior and can be well described by the
Basquin and Coffin–Manson equations, respectively. In addition, crack initiation and propagation modes are suggested, based
on scanning electron microscopy observations on the fracture surfaces of fatigued specimens.

The effect of dislocation substructures on fatigue is explored within the following categories: a) the dislocation substructures
produced by cycling in annealed material and the effect of cycling on substructures introduced extraneously before cycling;
b) hight and low strain fatigue fracture, expressed in terms of Coffin-manson or stress-life plots; and c) the effect of substructure
on the mechanisms of crack nucleation and propagation. Usually, cycling is very effective in rearranging substructures introduced
extraneously, especially at high strains. Consequently, there is little effect of the substructures on fatigue fracture except
under some circumstances at low strains, and also if the agent of introducing the initial substructures has had an effect
on the fracture process, for example, by opening cracks at inclusions. Dislocation substructure, however formed, is not significant,per se, to fatigue fracture except in acting as a source of plastic deformation.

The influence of microstructure and texture on the monotonic and cyclic properties of X7091-T651 was investigated. The various
structures were developed from conventional ingot metallurgy (I/M), powder metallurgy (P/M) and intermediate thermal mechanical
treatments (ITMT). Powder metallurgy produced a finer grain structure and particle distribution than I/M. Intermediate thermomechanical
treatment produced a recrystallized, coarse grain structure with a weak texture, compared to the unrecrystallized grain structure
and sharp texture obtained with conventional processing (CP). All materials had comparable monotonic properties. The resistance
to fatigue crack initiation (FCI) increased with both a reduction in grain size and a finer particle distribution. Smaller
grain sizes and finer particle distributions reduced the degree of cyclic strain localization. The CP-P/M alloy had the poorest
ductility and FCI resistance of all the materials, although the slip was fairly homogeneous. This may be due to the presence
of oxides at the grain boundaries and a sharp texture. The threshold stress intensity, ΔKth, and the fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) roughly follow a grain size dependence with the resistance of fatigue crack propagation
(FCP) increasing with increasing grain size. It appears that large grains allow more reversible slip and reduce the amount
of accumulated plastic strain within the reverse plastic zone. It is also believed that a greater degree of fatigue crack
closure, which may be associated with large grains and a rough FCP surface, results in a lower FCGR in the lowΔK region. The intermediate thermomechanical treatment of P/M X7091 produced the optimum microstructure giving the best combination
of mechanical properties. The important features include a small recrystallized grain structure, a fine particle distribution,
a weak texture, and a low concentration of oxides at grain boundaries.

The quasi-static and cyclic fatigue fracture behavior of 2014 aluminum alloy metal-matrix composites
In this article, the quasi-static and cyclic fatigue fracture behavior of aluminum alloy 2014 discontinuously reinforced with
fine particulates of aluminum oxide are presented and discussed. The discontinuous particulate-reinforced 2014 aluminum alloy
was cyclically deformed under fully reversed, tension-compression loading over a range of strain amplitudes, well within the
plastic domain of the engineering stress-strain curve, resulting in cyclic fatigue lives of less than 104 cycles. The influence of both ambient and elevated temperatures on cyclic stress and cyclic stress-strain response is highlighted.
The underlying mechanisms governing the fracture mode during quasi-static and cyclic fatigue are discussed and rationalized
in light of the concurrent and mutually interactive influences of intrinsic composite microstructural features, deformation
characteristics of the metal matrix and reinforcement particulate, cyclic strain amplitude and resultant fatigue life, and
test temperature.

The low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue behavior and cyclic response of naturally aged and overaged 2219/TiC/15p and unreinforced
2219 Al were investigated using plastic strain-controlled and stress-controlled testing. In addition, the influence of grain
size on the particle-reinforced materials was examined. In both reinforced and unreinforced materials, the naturally aged
conditions were cyclically unstable, exhibiting an initial hardening behavior followed by an extended region of cyclic stability
and ultimately a softening region. The overaged reinforced material was cyclically stable for the plastic strains examined,
while the overaged unreinforced material exhibited cyclic hardening at plastic strains greater than 2.5 × 10−4. Decreasing grain size of particle-reinforced materials modestly increased the cyclic flow stress of both naturally aged
and overaged materials. Reinforced and unreinforced materials exhibited similar fatigue life behaviors; however, the reinforced
and unreinforced naturally aged materials had superior fatigue lives in comparison to the overaged materials. Grain size had
no effect on the fatigue life behavior of the particle-reinforced materials. The fatigue lives were strongly influenced by
the presence of clusters of TiC particles and exogenous Al3Ti intermetallics.

The temperature- and strain-rate-dependent tensile behavior of hydrogen-charged low-alloy pressure vessel steel ASTM A508
C1.3 has been investigated. The fatigue crack initiation and propagation behavior of the steel in high-temperature water environments
has also been evaluated. It was found that hydrogen played significant roles in both tensile and cyclic deformation processes,
especially in the temperature and strain-rate region of dynamic strain aging (DSA). The presence of hydrogen resulted in a
distinct softening in tensile strength and a certain loss in tensile ductility in the DSA region. Remarkable degradation in
fatigue crack initiation and propagation resistance in high-temperature water environments was observed in the DSA strain-rate
region. Typical hydrogen-induced cracking features also appeared on the corresponding fatigue fracture surfaces. The interactions
between hydrogen and DSA in tensile and cyclic deformation processes are discussed as well as their combined effects on the
environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) mechanism of pressure vessel steels in high-temperature water environments. 相似文献

The fatigue crack propagation rate,dc/dN, in cold-rolled and annealed 99.99+ Al is about 80 times slower at 77 K than at 298 K. In annealed 1100 Al which contains
constituent particles,dc/dN decreases by a factor of 20 on cooling from 298 to 77 K. At 298 and 77 K, annealed 99.99+ Al and 1100 Al cyclically harden but the amount is greater at 77 K. Cold-rolled 99.99+ Al cyclically hardens at 77 K but cyclically softens at 298 K. The much slower fatigue crack propagation rate at 77 K in
aluminum is attributed in part to the increase in cyclic yield stress, σy′, on cooling. At 77 K the high rate of work hardening at large strains is also thought to result in high plastic work per
unit area of fatigue crack thereby reducing the fatigue crack propagation rate. Rice’s theory for a Mode I plane stress crack
predicts the measured plastic zone size if the local stress corresponding to zero plastic strain in the cyclic stress-strain
curve is employed in the formula. 相似文献

High-cycle fatigue (HCF), involving the premature initiation and/or rapid propagation of cracks to failure due to high-frequency
cyclic loading, remains a principal cause of failures in gas-turbine propulsion systems. In this work, we explore the feasibility
of using “grain-boundary engineering” as a means to enhance the microstructural resistance to HCF. Specifically, sequential
thermomechanical processing, involving alternate cycles of strain and annealing, was used to increase the fraction of “special”
grain boundaries and to break up the interconnected network of “random” boundaries, in a commercial polycrystalline Ni-based
superalloy (ME3). The effect of such grain-boundary engineering on the fatigue-crack-propagation behavior of large (∼8 to
20 mm), through-thickness cracks at 25 °C, 700 °C, and 800 °C was examined. Although there was little influence of an increased
special boundary fraction at ambient temperatures, the resistance to near-threshold crack growth was definitively improved
at elevated temperatures, with fatigue threshold stress intensities some 10 to 20 pct higher than at 25 °C, concomitant with
a lower proportion (∼20 pct) of intergranular cracking. 相似文献

Push-pull fatigue tests have been conducted on several materials at various frequencies and temperatures in air and high vacuum
(10−8 torr) and the fatigue life determined in terms of the cyclic plastic strain. In contrast to a changing exponent of the Coffin-Manson
law with increasing temperature in air, in high vacuum this exponent is found to remain nearly constant at a value of about
0.5. Further, the temperature sensitivity of this exponent and of life at a specific plastic strain range in high vacuum is
slight. Pronounced plastic instability (specimen shortening and fattening) was observed for the ductile metals investigated
and crack nucleation was retarded. In all cases crack propagation was transgranular in vacuum. It is concluded that for the
materials, temperature, and frequencies investigated, the degradation of fatigue life at elevated temperature is due to environmental
enhancement of intergranular fracture. Materials investigated include A286 at room temperature and 593°C, nickel A at 550°C,
304 stainless steel at 816°C and 7075T6 aluminum alloy. 相似文献

The crack propagation process is dominated by the formation of ductile fatigue striations and the classical “one load cycle per striation” concept is only valid in a narrow crack propagation rate interval. However, over 4 orders of magnitudes in crack propagation rates the striation rates is independent of the ΔK, which implies that the number of cycles necessary to form one striation probably is greater than one. The similarities between the fatigue damage processes in the cyclic plastic zone and in plastic strain controlled specimens are documented in detail. The micromechanisms of crack propagation is related to a local plastic collapse of the dislocation substructure at the crack tip. A model for fatigue crack propagation rate predictions has been developed. The model is a refinement of the existing accumulated damage, LCF-models and the most important parameters taken into account are: the constant striation spacing, a realistic dynamic cyclic yield stress, the Coffin-Manson constants, a threshold plastic strain and a constant which coincide with the average grain size. 相似文献
