Biomass energy, as a reliable renewable energy source, has gained more and more attention. However, microstructure degradation and corrosion fatigue damage of heat pipes hinder its further application. In this paper, high temperature corrosion fatigue characteristics of 12Cr1MoV steel under a mixed alkali metal chloride salt environment and mixed sulfate salt environment were investigated. Fatigue tests with different total strain amplitudes were performed. Results show that the effect of total strain amplitude on the cyclic stress response of the alloy is approximately the same under three different deformation conditions. With the increase of the cyclic numbers, the alloyed steel mainly exhibited cyclic hardening during loading. The fatigue properties in air environment were the best, which is most obvious when the total strain amplitude is ±0.3%. The fatigue life of samples in mixed alkali metal salts is the shortest. Furthermore, the fatigue fracture morphology of the alloyed steel in different environments were also deeply analyzed. This experimental study attempts to provide a theoretical reference for solving the problem of rapid failure of heat pipes in biomass boilers, and to establish a scientific basis for the material selection and safety operation.

This investigation presents the results of research on low cycle fatigue properties of Sc-modified AA2519-T62 extrusion. The basic mechanical properties of the investigated alloy have been established in the tensile test. The low cycle fatigue testing has been performed on five different levels of total strain amplitude: 0.4%; 0.5%; 0.6%; 0.7% and 0.8% with cycle asymmetry coefficient R = 0.1. For each level of total strain amplitude, the graphs of variations in stress amplitude and plastic strain amplitude in the number of cycles have been presented. The obtained results allowed to establish Ramberg-Osgood and Manson-Coffin-Basquin relationships. The established values of the cyclic strength coefficient and cyclic strain hardening exponent equal to k’ = 1518.1 MPa and n’ = 0.1702. Based on the Manscon-Coffin-Basquin equation, the values of the following parameters have been established: the fatigue strength coefficient σ’f = 1489.8 MPa, the fatigue strength exponent b = −0.157, the fatigue ductility coefficient ε’f = 0.4931 and the fatigue ductility exponent c = −1.01. The fatigue surfaces of samples tested on 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8% of total strain amplitude have been subjected to scanning electron microscopy observations. The scanning electron microscopy observations of the fatigue surfaces revealed the presence of cracks in striations in the surrounding area with a high concentration of precipitates. It has been observed that larger Al2Cu precipitates exhibit a higher tendency to fracture than smaller precipitates having a higher concentration of scandium and zirconium.

The properties of gravity casting AZ91D-0.4Ca-0.3Sr alloy with Gd and Y in metal mould were studied by controlling the total strain amplitude ranged from 0.05mm to 0.25mm.under the conditions of the stress of ratio R equal to –1. In addition, the microstructure, phases, chemical constitute, fracture and low cycle fatigue behaviors of the magnesium alloy were primarily researched by means of SEM, EDAX and XRD and so on. The results showed that 3.0wt%Gd and 3.0wt%Y introduced the AZ91D-0.4Ca-0.3Sr alloy can refine α-Mg, and that Gd cooperating with Y can significantly improve the low cycle fatigue life.

Cycle Fatigue

The Ni-based IN792 superalloy is widely applied as a component in industrial turbines and aircraft engines due to its good high-temperature properties and excellent corrosion resistance. Since these components have to suffer from cyclic thermal and mechanical stresses during service, the high-temperature fatigue failure becomes one of the major factors affecting their service lives. Grain refinement has been considered as an effective way to improve the mechanical performance of superalloys. However, due to the complexity of alloy composition, microstructure and service condition, there is no unified theory about the influence of grain refinement on the fatigue performance and fracture mechanism of superalloys. In the present research, the IN792 superalloy with different grain sizes was manufactured. Then, fully reversed, strain-controlled, low-cycle fatigue (LCF) tests with four different total strain amplitudes were carried out on the alloy at 700 °C and 800 °C to clarify the effects of grain refinement on its LCF behavior. The results show that grain refinement improved the fatigue life significantly, which is mainly attributed to increasing the grain boundary content and refining MC carbides, eutectic structures and dendritic structures. During fatigue test under lower strain amplitude, the alloy exhibits a pronounced initial fatigue hardening followed by a continuous well-defined stability stage, which is caused by the formation of dislocation networks and coarsening of primary γ’ phases. However, during fatigue test under higher strain amplitude, the alloy exhibits continuous hardening response because the dislocations could shear primary γ’ phases, which could give rise to resistance to dislocation movement. In addition, the fracture surface observation shows that the fatigue fracture mode is mainly affected by the total strain amplitude. Under lower total strain amplitude, the fatigue microcracks mainly initiate at the porosities near the specimen surface, while under higher total strain amplitude, the fatigue microcracks tend to form at the interior of the specimen.

AbstractLow cycle fatigue life of high-strength reinforcing steel bars (ASTM A706 Grade 80), using photogrammetry by RGB methodology is evaluated. Fatigue tests are performed on specimens under constant axial displacement with total strain amplitudes ranging from 0.01 to 0.05. The experimental observations indicate that buckling of high-strength reinforcing bars results in a damaging degradation of their fatigue life performance as the slenderness ratio increases, including an early rebar failure as the total strain amplitude increases since it achieves the plastic range faster. In addition to this, the results show that the ratio of the ultimate tensile strength to yield strength satisfies the minimum of 1.25 specified in ASTM A706 for reinforcement. On the other hand, the RGB methodology indicates that the axial strains measured by photogrammetry provide more accurate data since the registered results by the traditional experimental setup do not detect second-order effects, such as slippage or lengthening of the specimens within the clamps. Moreover, the RGB filter is faster than digital image correlation (DIC) because the RGB methodology requires a fewer computational cost than DIC algorithms. The RGB methodology allows to reduce the total strain amplitude up to 45% compared to the results obtained by the traditional setup. Finally, models relating total strain amplitude with half-cycles to failure and total strain amplitude with total energy dissipated for multiple slenderness ratios (L/d of 5, 10, and 15) are obtained.

The purpose of this investigation was to study the low-cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of a newly developed high-pressure die-cast (HPDC) Al-5.5Mg-2.5Si-0.6Mn-0.2Fe (AlMgSiMnFe) alloy. The effect of heat-treatment in comparison with its as-cast counterpart was also identified. The layered (α-Al + Mg2Si) eutectic structure plus a small amount of Al8(Fe,Mn)2Si phase in the as-cast condition became an in-situ Mg2Si particulate-reinforced aluminum composite with spherical Mg2Si particles uniformly distributed in the α-Al matrix after heat treatment. Due to the spheroidization of intermetallic phases including both Mg2Si and Al8(Fe,Mn)2Si, the ductility and hardening capacity increased while the yield stress (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) decreased. Portevin–Le Chatelier effect (or serrated flow) was observed in both tensile stress–strain curves and initial hysteresis loops during cyclic deformation because of dynamic strain aging caused by strong dislocation–precipitate interactions. The alloy exhibited cyclic hardening in both as-cast and heat-treated conditions when the applied total strain amplitude was above 0.4%, below which cyclic stabilization was sustained. The heat-treated alloy displayed a larger plastic strain amplitude and a lower stress amplitude at a given total strain amplitude, demonstrating a superior fatigue resistance in the LCF regime. A simple equation based on the stress amplitude of the first and mid-life cycles ((Δσ/2)first, (Δσ/2)mid) was proposed to characterize the degree of cyclic hardening/softening (D): D=±(Δσ/2)mid − (Δσ/2)first(Δσ/2)first, where the positive sign “+” represents cyclic hardening and the negative sign “−“ reflects cyclic softening.

The paper presents the concept of division of the total strain amplitudes. Simulations were performed for high-alloy steel X6NiCr3220 for proposing a new curve of cyclic strain based on the best fit to the experimental points and plotted the hysteresis loop. Proposed allocation of the total strain amplitude in three parts: the plastic strain amplitude, strain amplitude and the amplitude of the linearly elastic strain coupled. In order to preserve the forms of popular formula Ramberg-Osgoda and Manson-Coffin-Basquin modified them in such a way that added to their member responsible for the description of the coupled strain. Inclusion of additional term leading to closer representation of the actual material properties.

The present work is focused on the study of low cycle fatigue behavior of grit blasted nickel-base superalloy Inconel 713LC (IN 713LC). Grit blasting parameters are obtained. Button end specimens of IN 713LC in as-received condition and with grit blasted surface were fatigued under strain control with constant total strain amplitude in symmetrical cycle at 900 °C in air. Hardening/softening curves, cyclic stress-strain curve and fatigue life data of both materials were obtained. Both materials exhibit the same stress-strain response. It has not been observed any improvement or reduction of low cycle fatigue life in representation of total strain amplitude versus number of cycles to failure of grit blasted material in comparison with as-received material. Surface relief and fracture surface were observed in SEM. The little effect of surface treatment on fatigue characteristics is discussed.

Az80 Magnesium Alloy

In this paper, the influence of ageing and solution treatment on the low cycle fatigue behavior of a rolled AZ80 magnesium alloy sheet was investigated at constant total strain amplitudes between 0.003 and 0.01. It was observed that fatigue life of the alloy sheet at as-rolled, ageing and solution treatment conditions can be described well by Coffin-Manson and Basquin’s equations. The fatigue parameters follow the two equations were evaluated. With increasing total strain amplitude, the fatigue life of the three conditions decreased. At the lowest total strain amplitude of 0.003, the fatigue life of the as-rolled alloy sheet was the biggest. However, at the highest total strain amplitude of 0.01, the fatigue life of solution treated alloy sheet was the biggest, and that of the ageing treated alloy sheet was the shortest.

Twip Steels

The effects of Al on the monotonic deformation behavior of Fe-Mn-C twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steels have been extensively investigated; however, how the addition of Al affects the fatigue properties of these steels is unknown. The present paper deals with the cyclic deformation properties of Fe-22Mn-0.6C-0Al and Fe-22Mn-0.6C-3Al steels by means of total strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue tests. The total strain amplitude ranges from 0.002 to 0.01. The evolved microstructures of fatigued samples were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Results show that the addition of Al has a significant effect on the cyclic deformation behavior, fatigue lifetime and evolved microstructure of Fe-Mn-C TWIP steel.
