Experiments are reported for fatigue tests in bending and in torsion at hardness levels from fully annealed to fully hard and super quenched. Results indicate a linear relation between fatigue strength and Brinell hardness. The relation between bending and torsion and the effects of mean stress and size are also examined.

Results generated by three, unique fatigue reliability research machines which can apply reversed bending loads combined with steady torque are presented. Six-inch long, AISI 4340 steel, grooved specimens with a stress concentration factor of 2.34 and RC 35/40 hardness were subjected to various combinations of these loads and cycled to failure. The generated cycles-to-failure and stress-to-failure data are statistically analyzed to develop distributional S-N and Goodman diagrams. Various failure theories are investigated to determine which one represents the data best. The effect of the groove and of the various combined bending-torsion loads on the S-N and Goodman diagrams are determined. Three design applications are presented. The third one illustrates the weight savings that may be achieved by designing for reliability.

Surface modification is one of the important requirements of various components used in industrial applications. Shot peening is one of the surface modification techniques which is being widely used in automotive industry to enhance fatigue life and surface characterises of mechanical parts. In this thesis, the development of experimental set up for shot peening has been undertaken to investigate the effect of prominent process parameter on surface characterises of a given target surface. The major objective of this work is to investigate the effect of three prominent process parameters, namely Air pressure, Temperature of target surface and Stand-off distance on surface characteristics of AISI 4340 steel. The work material has been chosen keeping in view its applications in local industry related to automotive components. The performance of peening process has been measured in terms of surface hardness, surface roughness and residual stresses. An experimental design approach Response Surface Method (RSM) has been used for the design and analysis of experimental data. The effect of process parameters on performance characteristics has been depicted with the help of ANOVA. Optimal set of process parameters has been obtained on the basis of desirability approach. The optimised combination for best performance came as (Air pressure – 4.83 bars, Temperature of target surface – 30°C and stand-off distance-178 mm).

The AISI 4340 steel has been largely employed for structural purposes, which requires resistance levels with yield strength above 1400 MPa and it attains high levels of resistance in dual phase, bainitic or martensitic microstructural conditions. The samples of AISI 4340 steel with different microstructural conditions (martensitic, bainitic and ferritic/perlitic) have been submitted to fatigue tests on push-pull mode. Subsequently, the new specimens underwent a shot peening surface treatment and new fatigue tests. The results have been discussed in comparison to the three microstructural conditions studied and they were related to a microstructural characterization. The results have showed that a shot peening treatment is not always beneficial to fatigue life, since there is a relationship between the compressive stresses developed on the surface and its roughness formed due to the deformations. Under the three microstructural above studied it was noticed a strong fatigue life reduction in the martensitic condition because such microstructure is considered less ductile.
