Damage Evaluation of Ferrite and Ferrite-Pearlite Steel during Fatigue Crack Initiation by EBSD

Article Preview

Abstract:

Orientation changes during fatigue crack initiation in ferrite and ferritepearlite steel were evaluated by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Ferrite steel with different grain sizes and ferritepearlite steel with different carbon contents were prepared. EBSD measurements and fatigue tests were alternately performed using a small specimen. The tests on both ferrite and ferritepearlite steel suggest that the initial cracks were observed in the ferrite matrix. Thus, crystal rotation induced by fatigue in ferrite matrix is quantitatively evaluated by two misorientation parameters: grain reference orientation deviation, which is the misorientation between measuring points and the average orientation in each grain, and crystal misorientation at the same point before and after fatigue testing.
