Fatigue Characteristics

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) has been increasingly used in the fabrication of dense metallic structures. However, the corrosion related properties of LPBF alloys, in particular environment-assisted cracking, such as corrosion fatigue properties, are not well understood. In this study, the corrosion and corrosion fatigue characteristics of LPBF 316L stainless steels (SS) in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution have been investigated using an electrochemical method, high cycle fatigue, and fatigue crack propagation testing. The LPBF 316L SSs demonstrated significantly improved corrosion properties compared to conventionally manufactured 316L, as reflected by the increased pitting and repassivation potentials, as well as retarded crack initiation. However, the printing parameters did not strongly affect the pitting potentials. LPBF samples also demonstrated enhanced capabilities of repassivation during the fatigue crack propagation. The unique microstructural features introduced during the printing process are discussed. The improved corrosion and corrosion fatigue properties are attributed to the presence of columnar/cellular subgrains formed by dislocation networks that serve as high diffusion paths to transport anti-corrosion elements.

The characteristics of corrosion-fatigue in age-hardened Al alloys, e.g. brittle striations on cleavage-like facets, are described, with reference to two examples of component failure. Mechanisms of corrosion fatigue (and explanations for fracture-surface features) are then reviewed. New observations of corrosion-fatigue crack growth for 7050-T7451 alloy compact-tension specimens tested in aqueous environments using a constant (intermediate) ΔK value but different cycle frequencies are then described and discussed. These observations provide additional support for a hydrogen-embrittlement process involving adsorption-induced dislocation-emission from crack tips.
