MICROFRACTOGRAPHY OF NEAR-THRESHOLD FATIGUE CRACK PROPAGATION IN DUAL-PHASE STEELS

SEM microfractography of near-threshold fatigue crack propagation were carried out in thedual-phase steels of 3 martensite morphologies and 6 volume fractions of martensite (V_m).All of them are featured by cyclic cleavage characteristics in near-threshold region,i.e.,main-ly controlled by mode Ⅱ stress.In the higher ΔK regions,the fracture surfaces are character-ized by mixed modes including cyclic cleavage facets,two types of secondary cracks andstriations,etc..The roughness-induced crack closure of fracture surface is attributedprimarily to extreme high fatigue crack growth threshold values.

ROUGHNESS-INDUCED SHEAR RESISTANCE OF MODE Ⅱ CRACK GROWTH

It is obtained in this paper that the fatigue threshold value of mode H was 1.9 times of that ofmode Ⅰ in dual-phase steel(DPS),and the normal stress intensity factor range oJ mode Ⅱbranch crack tip was 2.2 times of that of mode Ⅰ.Above results illustrate that the resistance ofmode Ⅱ crack growth was higher than that of mode Ⅰ,the former resulting fromroughness-induced shear resistance,the latter,crack closure.The mode Ⅱ component can play two important roles in near-threshold fatigue crackgrowth:(1)increasing crack tip plasticity which accelerates the crack growth and(2)intro-ducing crack surface contact and rubbing to reduce the crack propagation rate.By means ofcrack closure,the quantity of shear resistance was easily solved in this paper.The frictionshear stress strength factor range of mode Ⅱ,K_,is still much higher than the closure stressstrength factor range of mode Ⅰ,K_(Ⅰ,cl).This illustrated that the roughness enlarged the secondrole and played a role of shielding crack tip from mode Ⅱ crack.     

Effects of deformation behavior on fatigue fracture surface morphology in a nickel-base superalloy

Fatigue crack propagation fracture surface morphologies in nickel-base superalloys vary substantially with changes in loading parameters such as temperature, ΔK, load ratio, frequency, and additionally microstructure. Quantitative fracture surface roughness can vary from sub-micron levels to a maximum value of approximately half the grain size. Atomic Force Microscope studies of surface slip traces in compression specimens revealed a clear relationship between slip homogeneity in compression testing and fracture surface roughness under similar fatigue loading conditions. It has been shown in this study that changes in ΔK, strain level, temperature, grain size, and load ratio can all affect slip heterogeneity, which in turn controls the fracture surface roughness. Finally, a model is developed that quantitatively predicts fracture surface roughness and roughness-induced crack closure stress intensity values from measurements of slip line spacing in a compression specimen.     

Effect of microstructure and load ratio on fatigue crack growth behavior of advanced Al-Cu-Li-Mg-Ag Alloys

Fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of recently developed three Al-Cu-Li-Mg-Ag alloys, Weldalite 049, X 2095 and MD 345, was examined in air at load ratios of 0.1 and 0.75. It was found that all three alloys showed better resistance to fatigue crack growth than conventional high strength Al alloys. The morphologies of crack growth paths were generally linear, but some showed deflection and branching. And the alloys revealed rough and transgranular fracture surfaces. Among the factors contributing to the excellent resistance of Al-Cu-Li alloys to fatigue crack growth are enhanced slip reversibility and high surface roughness causing a high crack closure level, thus reducing ΔK_eff for crack extension. The fatigue threshold decreased and fatigue crack growth rates increased significantly with increasing the load ratio. This is caused by the decrease in crack closure level at high load ratio. But the fracture mode did not show a significant change with increasing the load ratio.     

不同疲劳载荷下工业纯钛再结晶热处理对疲劳裂纹扩展行为影响

本文开展热处理后工业纯钛TA2不同载荷水平下疲劳裂纹扩展实验,考虑裂尖塑性变形程度,研究疲劳裂纹扩展规律以及热处理状态对疲劳裂纹扩展不同阶段的适应性。结果表明,不同疲劳载荷下热处理对疲劳扩展速率产生不同的影响。A类加载热处理后的疲劳裂纹扩展速率下降是由于近门槛区有效载荷的降低,以及近门槛值的提高。B类加载下热处理对有效载荷以及裂尖塑性变形几乎没有什么影响。C类与D类加载下热处理后裂尖塑性变形受到限制,而导致疲劳裂纹扩展速率下降。

Kinetics of γ’ precipitation and its influence on fatigue crack growth behavior of a new single-crystal nickel- based superalloy (cmsx-4g) at room temperature

An investigation was carried out to determine the growth kinetics of γ precipitates in a newly developed single-crystal nickel-base superalloy containing rhenium (CMSX- 4G). The investigation also examined the influence of γ’ precipitates (size and distribution) on fatigue crack growth behavior of the material in a room-temperature ambient atmosphere. The influence of load ratio on fatigue threshold of the material and crack growth mechanisms in fatigue was also studied. Compact tension specimens were prepared from a single-crystal nickel-base superalloy, CMSX-4G, with the (001) crystallographic direction. These specimens were given two different heat treatments to produce two different γ’ size precipitates. Fatigue crack growth behavior of these materials was studied at three different load ratios (R = 0.10, 0.50, and 0.90) in room-temperature ambient atmosphere. The results of the present investigation demonstrate that rhenium additions in CMSX-4G substantially lowers the γ coarsening kinetics of this alloy. The smaller γ’ precipitate size was found to be beneficial for fatigue resistance and has resulted in a higher fatigue threshold and lower fatigue crack growth rate in the threshold region. The fatigue threshold was found to decrease with an increase in load ratio. The crack growth mechanism in the threshold region was found to occur by a combination of microvoid coalescence and striations.

FATIGUE CRACK PROPAGATION IN Al-Li ALLOY 8090

Fatigue crack growth rates of Al-Li alloy 8090 in air were found to be strongly dependent up-on the aging conditions.The naturally aged and underaged specimens showed the highest re-sistance to the fatigue crack propagation.The fatigue crack growth resistance of the overagedspecimen is the lowest and that of the peakaged specimen in between.As compared to air,3.5% NaCl solution does not change the effect of aging conditions on the fatigue crackgrowth,but causes a decrease of the resistance to the fatigue crack growth under the same ag-ing condition.Both short cracks from notch and physically short cracks showed much higherrates of fatigue crack propagation in comparison with long cracks under the same aging condi-tion and stress intensity level.The growth behavior of the short crack depends on its type.Thegrowth rate of short crack from notch decreases first to a minimum and then increases with in-creasing △K.However,the physically short crack grows at a progressively increasing rate.The effects of aging conditions are explained in terms of the slip planarity of dislocations andthe cyclic slip reversibility.The observed short crack behavior is considered to be dependent onthe crack closure and the local plasticity near the crack tip.

A dislocation model for the two critical stress intensities required for threshold fatigue crack propagation

We have examined the variations, with decreasing load ratio, of threshold peak and cyclic stress intensities required for fatigue crack growth in stage I (mainly mode II loading) using a simple model simulating dislocation motion near a crack tip. In this model the crack grows by dislocations running into the crack during loading and unloading phases. Initially we have studied the behaviour of a crack with a dislocation source relatively far away from the crack tip. Crack propagation rates showed a Paris regime at high ΔK, and an abrupt threshold value ΔK_th below which no crack growth occurred. The variation with load ratio of the peak (K_th) and cyclic (ΔK_th) stress intensities at the fatigue threshold showed that two different processes controlled the behaviour. At high load ratios dislocations are generated readily during loading and the threshold is controlled by the need for sufficient unloading to allow dislocations to run back into the crack, so that the criterion ΔK ≥ ΔK∗ results. At negative load ratios it is the generation of dislocations during the loading phase that controls the threshold condition, since once generated, the large unloading and reversed loading easily forces dislocations back to the crack. Under these conditions the threshold criterion becomes K_max ≥ K∗.     

制氢转化炉集气管裂纹失效原因分析

采用光学金相、扫描电镜、电子探针、晶粒度测量等手段对制氢转化炉Incoloy 800H合金材料高温氧化状态下服役后的组织损伤特征进行分析,借助Wagner理论分析合金材料服役过程中的元素偏析与材料开裂的关联性。结果表明,Incoloy 800H合金材料在高温氧化环境服役过程中发生了晶界氧化、元素偏析,合金组织经历合金元素氧化-碳化物分解-碳化物偏聚的组织演变,弥散强化减弱,合金组织晶粒度粗大;服役过程贫碳化物区晶界抗高温蠕变能力下降,多重应力综合影响导致Incoloy 800H合金材料裂纹的萌生及扩展。     

喷射沉积SiC_P／Al-7Si复合材料的疲劳裂纹扩展

采用紧凑拉伸试样进行恒载和降K控制的拉--拉疲劳实验, 研究了喷射沉积SiC_p/Al-7Si复合材料及其基体的疲劳裂纹扩展行为. 通过金相显微镜和扫描电镜观察了复合材料及其基体的组织和疲劳裂纹扩展形貌, 研究了SiC颗粒对复合材料疲劳裂纹扩展机制的影响. 结果表明: 复合材料在任何相同的ΔK水平下其抗疲劳裂纹扩展能力优于基体材料, 并表现出较高的疲劳门槛值. 其原因是复合材料中裂纹裂尖遇到增强颗粒时, 裂纹发生偏转, 特别是SiC颗粒自身微裂纹萌生有效降低了裂纹尖端的应力强度因子, 复合材料的裂纹闭合效应也随之增大. 去除裂纹闭合效应的影响, 当有效应力因子ΔK_eff作为裂纹扩展的驱动力时, 复合材料的裂纹扩展速率却高于基体.
