The microstructure, low-cycle fatigue property, and fracture behavior of as-received and aluminized steel were investigated at room temperature, respectively. The results reveal that the aluminized layer is mainly composed of three layers: (I) the external Al2O3 layer, (II) the transition Fe-Al mesophase layer, and (III) the diffusion layer with AlFe and AlCrFe phase. The microhardness of as-received steel lower than that of aluminized steel until the distance from aluminized layer is greater than 150 μm. Compared to the original steel, the aluminized steel exhibits lower stress amplitude and fatigue life, which is correlated to the surface integrity. According to the Coffin-Manson relationship, the fatigue-ductility coefficients for as-received and aluminized steel is 4.347 and 3.528, respectively. Fractographic analysis reveals that the fatigue cracks tend to nucleate at the coating and propagate through the grain boundaries apace.

Low-cycle fatigue property of superalloy GH4586 was investigated using a stress amplitude-controlled mode at 1023K. Fracture surface was examined with a scanning electronic microscopy. It was found that the cyclic life can be illustrated by Manson-Coffin at all strain levels. The fatigue cracks initiate primarily on the surface of the specimen. The plastic strain amplitude responded to the cyclic loading shows higher sensitivity than that of the elastic strain amplitude. It was demonstrated that the failure of the present alloy is in a manner of creep-fatigue feature.

The low-cycle fatigue characteristics of an 11 per cent chromium steel, two nickel alloys and two titanium alloys have been studied in the range 20° to 500°C. For repeated-tension stress tests on all the materials, there was a sharp break in the stress-endurance curve between 103 and 104 cycles. The high stress failures were attributed to cyclic creep contributing to the development of internal cavities. At lower stresses, failures occurred through the growth of fatigue cracks initiated at the material surface. The whole fatigue curve could be represented by an expression developed from linear damage assumptions. Data for different temperatures and types of stress concentration were correlated by expressing stress as a fraction of the static strength. Repeated-tensile strain cycling data were represented on a stress-endurance diagram and it was shown that they correlated with push-pull stress cycles at high stresses and repeated-tension at low stresses. In general, the compressive phase tended to accentuate cyclic creep so that ductile failures occurred at proportionally lower stresses. Changes in frequency from 1 to 100 cycle/min were shown to have no significant effect on low-cycle fatigue behaviour.

In this work, the formation of fatigue cracks is considered as a nucleation process due to the development of a characteristic microstructure formed just beneath the specimen surface. Strain controlled cyclic tests were carried out at room temperature at total strain ranges εt = 0.8 and 1.2% in flat specimens of SAF 2507 Duplex Stainless Steel (DSS). The results show that for this DSS, at εt = 0.8%, the correlation between phases (Kurdjumov-Sacks crystallographic relation) plays an important role in the formation of microcracks. On the other hand, at εt = 1.2%, microcracks initiate in the ferritic phase and the K-S relation does not seem to affect the formation of the cracks.

This paper provides a new method to repair the steel pipe with fatigue cracks by using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). Cracks may arise in Pressure pipeline in service because of low cycle fatigue. Crack defect is the biggest problem, because crack will gradually propagate and seriously threaten the safe operation of pipeline. This paper provides a repair and calculation method for pressure pipeline with fatigue cracks, and some specific engineering cases are given based on this method.
