Low-cycle fatigue behavior of Sn-Ag, Sn-Ag-Cu, and Sn-Ag-Cu-Bi lead-free solders

Low-cycle fatigue (LCF) tests on as-cast Sn-3.5Ag, Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu, Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu-1Bi, and Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu-3Bi solders was carried out using a noncontact strain-controlled system at 20°C with a constant frequency of 0.1 Hz. The addition of Cu does not significantly affect the fatigue life of eutectic Sn-Ag solder. However, the fatigue life was significantly reduced with the addition of Bi. The LCF behavior of all solders followed the Coffin-Manson relationship. The fatigue life of the present solders is dominated by the fracture ductility and can be described by the ductility-modified Coffin-Manson’s relationship. Steps at the boundaries of dendrite phases were the initiation sites for microcracks for Sn-3.5Ag, Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu, and Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu-1Bi solders, while for Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu-3Bi solder, cracks initiated along both the dendrite boundaries and subgrain boundaries in the dendrite phases. The linking of these cracks and the propagation of cracks inside the specimen occurred both transgranularly through eutectic phases and intergranularly along dendrite boundaries or subgrain boundaries.

NEW APPROACH FOR ESTIMATION OF ΔJ AND FOR MEASUREMENT OF CRACK GROWTH AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE

Abstract— The ACPD-method was used to measure crack growth in low cycle fatigue tests at elevated temperature. The material which was investigated at T = 550°C was the ferritic steel 2.25Cr–1Mo. Characteristic values of representative hysteresis loops were determined. The crack growth data were correlated with the effective part of the fracture mechanics parameter Δ J. A new method for the calculation of Δ J is proposed.

Application of stochastic filtering for lifetime prediction

This paper introduces a stochastic filtering modeling approach for predicting the remaining lifetime of a component based on information on the stochastic degradation process and uncertain condition monitoring measurements. The model is illustrated by a case study, where the degradation is assumed to be a simplified fatigue crack growth process. The model accounts for uncertainties in both degradation process and condition measurements in a sound way. If completed with information on costs of monitoring, failure and replacement, such model could be used in optimizing both the condition monitoring intervals and, e.g. the replacement time for the component.     

INITIAL FRACTURE MECHANISMS IN NICKEL ALLOYED PM STEEL

Abstract— Initial fatigue crack propagation mechanisms at near threshold conditions were studied for four nickel-alloyed, powder-metallurgy (PM) steels. Fatigue fracture surfaces were obtained by testing smooth rectangular specimens at 30 Hz and under constant amplitude and zero mean stress conditions. Materials based on Distaloy AE were used in two densities, namely 7.15 and 7.45 g/cm³.
All the fracture surfaces were composed of three morphological regions (i) a macrocrack initiation region Rl where cracks propagated preferentially through particles (ii) a macrocrack growth region R2 and (iii) an unstable crack growth region R3 where cracks propagated preferentially between particles. Initial fatigue crack growth, in region R1, was controlled by the propagation of short cracks whose dimensions were comparable to the material microstructure. The subsequent fatigue crack growth in regions R2 and R3 was controlled by ductile rupture between microvoids. Transparticle fracture in region R1 was independent of pore distribution, while interparticle fracture in regions R2 and R3 was dependent on pore distribution.
