Ultra-slow Fatigue Crack Propagation in Metallic Alloys☆
2016
Abstract The influence of frequency (20kHz ultrasonic tests and conventional 20 to 35 Hz tests) and environment (air and vacuum) on near-threshold fatigue crack propagation of three metallic alloys, Ti-6Al-4V, 2024-T351 and 12% Cr stainless steel is compared experimentally. The effective stress-intensity factor which is considered as the propagation driving force is determined from closure measurements or tests run at high R -ratio. Based on microfractographic observations, the results are discussed in terms of a preexisting model for intrinsic and environmentally assisted fatigue crack propagation.
