Fatigue Crack Growth Rates of S235 and S355 Steels after Friction Stir Processing

Abstract:

Abstract. In the study, there were investigated the effects of friction stir processing (FSP) which was applied in order to improve the surfaces of notched specimens made of S235JR and S355J2 carbon steels, on their fatigue crack growth rates in the air. There were presented the results of comparative fatigue tests conducted at asymmetric tension (R= -0.2) for these steels treated by means of FSP and for the ones in the delivery state. The method of successive etched material layers used revealed the presence of internal tensile stresses in the surface layers of treated specimens. Crack growth rates were described on the basis of non-linear fracture mechanics, taking the effects of internal stresses into account.
