In this paper, the effects of turning and surface polishing treatments on surface integrity and fatigue properties of superalloy GH4169 were investigated. Finish turning (FT), surface circumferential polishing treatment (TCP), surface oblique texture (TCPO), and surface axial texture (TCPA) were applied to GH4169 superalloy. The surface roughness, surface topography, residual stress, microhardness, and microstructure after different processes were studied. Rotating bending fatigue tests were carried out to investigate the effects of surface integrity and surface texture direction on the fatigue performance of GH4169. The experiments reveal that the TCPA specimens present the longest fatigue life of 15.01 × 104 cycles. By comparison with the FT, TCP, and TCPO specimens, the fatigue lives of TCPA specimens are increased by 134.2%, 183.7%, and 96.2%, respectively. Single crack initiation source is observed for TCPA specimen. It is mainly attributed to the small surface stress concentration factor and surface axial texture.

Difficult-to cut-materials are associated with premature tool failure, most likely in the case of complex geometries and this shapes. However, Nickel-based alloys are commonly used in high-temperature and aerospace applications, where thin deep holes are often required. Then, the only viable manufacturing solution relies on non-contact processes, like electrodischarge (ED) drilling. Morphology of ED machined surfaces is significantly different than obtained by metal-cutting operation and is known to jeopardize fatigue strength, but the extent needs to be gauged and related to the process parameters. Aim of the paper is to study the effect of holes (0.8 mm diameter, aspect ratio 10) produced by ED drilling on the fatigue life of Inconel 718. Rotating bending fatigue tests are carried out on specimens drilled under two ED setups, as well as with a traditional cutting tool. Specimens free from holes are fatigued under the same conditions for comparison. Based on previous studies, extremal ED parameters are selected, giving best surface finish versus highest productivity. S-N curves show that the ED process causes a decrease of the fatigue resistance with respect to traditional drilling, whereas the effect of different ED setups is negligible. Maximum productivity can thus be pursued with no threat to fatigue performance. The fatigue limit variation is quantified by using the superposition effect principle: ED drilling causes an increase of the stress concentration factor around 25% if compared to traditional drilling. The macroscopic fatigue behavior is integrated with a study of the effects of the different drilling processes in the micro-scale, by means of a microstructural and fractographic analysis.

7075-T6 aluminium alloy is commonly adopted in high performance structures and components. Its fatigue behaviour is however dramatically worsened by exposure to aggressive environments. The deposition of PVD coatings, which are commonly adopted to increase the surface properties of structural elements in terms of hardness, contact fatigue and wear resistance, could be beneficial also for the fatigue behaviour of a 7075-T6 substrate in an aggressive environment. In the present work, Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) PVD coated 7075-T6 specimens immersed in methanol have been analysed, by means of step-loading rotating bending fatigue tests (R = -1) at 2·105 cycles. Coated specimens were tested in laboratory air for comparison, and uncoated polished samples were studied in both the environments to obtain reference values. SEM micrographs of the fracture surfaces were taken to investigate the effects of the corrosive environment on the failure mechanism.

The high cycle fatigue of super duplex stainless steel of SAF 2507 was investigated by rotating bending fatigue test in both air and 3.5% NaCl environment. The results showed that there is no much reduction of the fatigue life in corrosive environment, which is 90% of the air fatigue strength. In air fatigue, failure happens in ductile mode with austenite grains having finer and straighter fatigue striations than ferrite grains. Width and spacing of striations vary with the orientation and locations when the second cracking occurs. It is not reliable to identify the phase by morphology of striations. In 3.5% NaCl environment, the fracture exhibits a mixed mode of cleavage and quasi-cleavage in ferrites and ductile in austenite grains.
