This investigation examines the effects of different finishing processes on the fatigue life of premachined holes in Assab 760 steel plates. The finishing processes studied were reaming, ballizing, and emery polishing. A general decrease in fatigue life with increase in surface roughness is observed for all the processes employed. In comparing the different processes, for a constant surface roughness, polishing is generally found to give the longest fatigue life while ballizing, in spite of the greater compressive residual stresses induced on the surface of the finished hole, the shortest. The surprising phenomenon was found to be attributed to the amount of plastic deformation occurred before fatigue loading. For Assab 760 steel, a prestrain in the radial direction of less than about 2.5 percent appeared to reduce the fatigue resistance of the material.

Titanium alloy Ti1023 is a typical difficult-to-cut material. Tool wear is easy to occur in machining Ti1023, which has a significant negative effect on surface integrity. Turning is one of the common methods to machine Ti1023 parts and machined surface integrity has a direct influence on the fatigue life of parts. To control surface integrity and improve anti-fatigue behavior of Ti1023 parts, it has an important significance to study the influence of tool wear on the surface integrity and fatigue life of Ti1023 in turning. Therefore, the effect of tool wear on the surface roughness, microhardness, residual stress, and plastic deformation layer of Ti1023 workpieces by turning and low-cycle fatigue tests were studied. Meanwhile, the influence mechanism of surface integrity on anti-fatigue behavior also was analyzed. The experimental results show that the change of surface roughness caused by worn tools has the most influence on anti-fatigue behavior when the tool wear VB is from 0.05 to 0.25 mm. On the other hand, the plastic deformation layer on the machined surface could properly improve the anti-fatigue behavior of specimens that were proved in the experiments. However, the higher surface roughness and significant surface defects on surface machined utilizing the worn tool with VB = 0.30 mm, which leads the anti-fatigue behavior of specimens to decrease sharply. Therefore, to ensure the anti-fatigue behavior of parts, the value of turning tool wear VB must be rigorously controlled under 0.30 mm during finishing machining of titanium alloy Ti1023.

Mechanical dents often occur in transmission pipelines, and are recognized as one of major threats to pipeline integrity because of the potential fatigue failure due to cyclic pressures. With matured in-line-inspection (ILI) technology, mechanical dents can be identified from the ILI runs. Based on ILI measured dent profiles, finite element analysis (FEA) is commonly used to simulate stresses and strains in a dent, and to predict fatigue life of the dented pipeline. However, the dent profile defined by ILI data is a purely geometric shape without residual stresses nor plastic deformation history, and is different from its actual dent that contains residual stresses/strains due to dent creation and re-rounding. As a result, the FEA results of an ILI dent may not represent those of the actual dent, and may lead to inaccurate or incorrect results. To investigate the effect of residual stress or plastic deformation history on mechanics responses and fatigue life of an actual dent, three dent models are considered in this paper: (a) a true dent with residual stresses and dent formation history, (b) a purely geometric dent having the true dent profile with all stress/strain history removed from it, and (c) a purely geometric dent having an ILI defined dent profile with all stress/strain history removed from it. Using a three-dimensional FEA model, those three dents are simulated in the elastic-plastic conditions. The FEA results showed that the two geometric dents determine significantly different stresses and strains in comparison to those in the true dent, and overpredict the fatigue life or burst pressure of the true dent. On this basis, suggestions are made on how to use the ILI data to predict the dent fatigue life.

In this work, the effect of steel grade on the fatigue resistance of deep-rolled crankshafts is analysed. In the first part of this paper, the mechanisms leading to the increase of the fatigue resistance brought by the deep rolling treatment, is presented. This reinforcement is mainly linked to crack arrest due both to a decrease of the in-depth stress concentration factor and to remaining compressive residual stresses induced by the deep rolling. In a second part, an analytical model of residual stresses generation by deep-rolling and fatigue is presented. In this model the low cyclic fatigue behaviour of the steel is taken into account, and the residual stress stability with bending fatigue cycling can be predicted. After a presentation of the experimental validation on two different microstructures (baintic and ferrito- perlitic), this model is used for analysing the main parameters of the deep-rolling process and fatigue resistance.

The Navarro-Rios micromechanical model was used to assess the bounds of two different damage zones: crack arrest region and crack propagation region of controlled shot peening (CSP) of high strength aluminium alloys. Performance of CSP in terms of fatigue resistance was investigated. This comparison indicated that CSP in terms of fatigue depends on the competition between its beneficial and detrimental products, i.e. surface roughness and compressive residual stresses respectively. The gathered information can be used for safe load determinations in design.

The aim of the study is to investigate and to prove that the fatigue failure of steel is initiated from the surface. Hence the preventif action of smoothening the surface that has been loaded by fatigue loading is very important. The specimen of AISI 1045 Steel is loaded by means of rotary bending fatigue. The fatigue loading will be interupted as the fatigue life reaching 50% of fatigue life and 75% of fatigue life. During the interuption the specimen will be grinded and polished, before tested completely until fatigue fracture occured. The fatigue life of each group of scpecimen based on the art of loading will be compared to the specimen tested by fatigue loading without interuption.The Miner rule is used to evaluated the test result. The influence of interuption and surface treatment is evaluated and analyzed. ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki dan membuktikan bahwa kegagalan kelelahan baja dimulai dari permukaan.

Sleeve coldworking (SCW) is a mechanical process used in the aircraft industry to strengthen fastener holes of structural parts. By cold-expanding the holes, compressive residual stresses and a high dislocation density are introduced around the holes, the effect of which is to counteract the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks and thus increase the fatigue life of the parts. The knowledge of residual stress due to SCW is therefore crucial for assessing the fatigue properties of a treated part. In this study, residual stresses were investigated, by employing neutron and X-ray diffraction methods, in a lug specimen that was sleeve coldworked and fatigued. The specimen had been used for testing the influence of the SCW process on fatigue life and crack propagation behaviour under constant amplitude or variable amplitude cyclic loading.

This paper describes a study of aluminum gas cylinders used in underwater manned vehicles. A determination was made of the relative increase in one cycle burst pressure and fatigue life of an existing aluminum gas cylinder when the sidewall was reinforced with fiberglass overwrap and prestressed by over pressurization. Detailed finite-element stress analyses were conducted to determine the operating stresses and also the residual stresses at the end cap-to-cylinder transition section which were a result of plastic deformation during proof testing. Calculated residual stresses were found to be consistent with experimental measurements. It was determined that the filament reinforcement both increased the vessel burst pressure and increased the vessel fatigue life through favorable prestress effects. Results of vessel fatigue and burst tests are presented and are compared with the predicted performance characteristics.

In this work, we show that the measurement of the Barkhausen noise allows the residual stresses in each of the two phases of ferrite-martensite steels to be characterized. We have first studied the effect of a tensile and a compressive stress on the Barkhausen noise signature. We observed that for a ferrite-martensite steel, the application of a tensile stress increases the Barkhausen activity of the martensite and ferrite phases, whereas a compressive one reduces it. In a second time, we induced residual stresses by applying a plastic deformation to ferrite-martensite steels. After a tensile plastic deformation, we observed that (i) compressive residual stresses appear in ferrite, and (ii) tensile residual stresses appear in martensite. An opposite behavior is observed after a compressive plastic deformation. These results show that the Barkhausen noise measurement makes it possible to highlight in a nondestructive way the distribution of the stresses in each of the two phases of a ferrite-martensite steel. This result could be used to characterize industrial Dual- Phases steels that are plastically deformed during mechanical processes.

The five-ball fatigue tester and full-scale rolling-element bearings were used to determine the effect of component hardness differences of SAE 52100 steel on bearing fatigue and load capacity. Maximum fatigue life and load capacity are achieved when the rolling elements of a bearing are one to two points (Rockwell C) harder than the races. There appears to be an interrelation among compressive residual stresses induced in the races during operation, differences in component hardness, and fatigue life. Differences in contact temperature and plastically deformed profile radii could not account for differences in fatigue life.

The effects of ultrasonic deep rolling (UDR) on the fatigue behavior of pre-corroded 7A52 aluminum alloys were investigated. By means of X-Ray diffraction stress measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), residual stress and fractograph of 7A52 aluminum alloys with and without UDR treatment were analyzed. The results indicated that the UDR produced compressive residual stresses with depth approaching 1mm. UDR treatment can extend the fatigue life of the pre-corroded 7A52 specimens to a large extent, depending on the level of corrosion and UDR parameter. For the slightly corrode specimens, the UDR treatment changed the fatigue crack nucleation site from surface to the transition zone between the compressive residual stresses and tensile stresses, resulted in a much longer fatigue life. For the severely corrode specimens, the crack still nucleated by intergranular cracking, however, due to the compressive residual stresses introduced and the closure of the corrosion pits and corrosion micro-crocks, UDR treatment still improved fatigue performance of the pre-corroded 7A52 aluminum alloy substantially.
