The paper describes the results of a research programme, carried out at the Department of Aerospace Engineering of the University of Pisa, for the assessment of the influence of plasma cutting on the physical and mechanical properties of Fe510 D1, a low carbon steel widely used in carpentry. The activity started by observing that several industries rework plasma cut edges, particularly in the case of fatigue structures, in spite of the good quality of the plasma cut edges in a fully automatic process. Obviously, reworking is very expensive and time-consuming. Comparative fatigue tests demonstrated that the fatigue resistance of plasma cut specimens in Fe510 steel was fully comparable to that of milled specimens, as the consequence of the beneficial residual stresses which formed in the plasma cut edges.

Abstract The present paper is an investigation on the effect of slide diamond burnishing on the fatigue endurance of a component made of AISI52100 steel. Burnishing operation has been performed on cylindrical specimens using optimal parameters statistically selected such as burnishing force, burnishing feed and number of tool passes. Bending fatigue tests in air at R= -1 and S-N curves have been plotted by incrementing the applied stress from a maximum stress level of about 66% of the ultimate tensile stress to a stress value below which fatigue does not occur. Results show that slide diamond burnishing has increased the fatigue resistance comparing to unburnished specimens. The fatigue endurance is respectively 222 MPa and 190 MPa. At high stress levels, the fatigue resistance improvement is clearly observed and the fatigue trends are in good agreement with those reported in literature. However, the present results are slightly lower and that is attributed to the shoulder fillet value of the specimen. For small fillet radius, fatigue resistance is lowered.

The present work concerns the influence of surface (machined, as-built) on the fatigue resistance of AlSi10Mg produced by a powder-bed laser process. The competition between defects and surface roughness is assessed by using Kitagawa-type diagrams. Samples are printed along three directions: 0°, 45° and 90°. After axial fatigue tests with a load ratio of R = −1, all the fracture surfaces are carefully analysed. The initiation sites can be (i) a defect, (ii) the surface roughness, (iii) the surface ripple. The results indicate that ground surfaces lead to the same fatigue life as as-built surfaces. It is also shown that T6 treatment improves the fatigue resistance. However, when specimen surfaces are as-built or ground, it is difficult to correlate the fatigue results with ‘isolated defect size analysis’ neither roughness parameter for an as-built surface. Therefore, microstructure, residual stresses or multiple initiation should be further analysed to understand the results.

The influence of martensitic transformation on the fatigue of AISI 316 type stainless steel, which presents a low temperature metastable behavior, was investigated at-196 and 25°C. Fatigue tests were conducted on both annealed and cold worked conditions. The results from stress versus number of cycles curves showed that the fatigue resistance is not affected by the “dynamically” induced martensite in annealed specimens at both temperatures. On the contrary, the previously induced “static” martensite in work hardened specimens contributes to decrease the fatigue resistance limit. The contribution of the martensite stability is discussed.

The current stage of civil engineering is characterized by special attention to the safety of structures with a long service life. Such objects were designed several decades ago and their safe operation was ensured by significant safety margins. Now this approach to safety has been replaced by the concept of acceptable risk. It forms the basis of a risk based inspection (RBI) maintenance strategy. The transition from preventive maintenance strategies to a technical condition maintenance is substantiated. Complex indicators of technical condition, suitable for RBI- maintenance, are considered. The methodology of the resource safety index (RSI) is proposed. The latter is used as an indicator of risk. Special models of fatigue resistance is required for its control. The purpose of this paper is to build fatigue models for critical structural elements that are serviced according to the RBI concept. Instead of the traditional S-N curve, the lifetime general equation (first model) be used, where by the arguments are the main influence factors. Along with this, a modified ε - N equation is proposed for deformation criteria. The novelty of this equation is that it uses the rate of S-N- curve (slope) obtained in the first model with high cycle fatigue. The second model, combining the results of fatigue tests, is the equation for the dispersion of durability. The third model is the accumulated damage function under overloads. The efficiency of the RSI method is demonstrated by the example of the reliability assessment of the high strength bolts. Thanks to RSI method forecasting, during RBI-maintenance, parts can be used 3-5 times longer than with traditional methods.
