Fatigue Designing of High Strength Steels Components Considering Aggressive Fuel Environment and Very High Cycle Fatigue Effects

Article Preview

Abstract:

Automotive components for injection systems are subjected to load spectra with up to 1E9 load cycles during the expected service life. However, fatigue testing with such a large number of cycles using original components is extremely time-consuming and expensive. A contribution for fatigue reliability assessment is available by the application of specimen testing and the transfer of the results to components including the verification by component spot tests.In this contribution very high cycle fatigue results in laboratory air and in ethanol fuel using notched specimens of high strength stainless steel are discussed. The influence of testing frequency was studied using ultrasonic and conventional test techniques. The validation and transfer of these accelerated testing results to components is one of the main challenges for a reliable fatigue designing.KeywordsVery High Cycle Fatigue (VHCF), automotive components, fuel injection, bio-fuels, corrosion fatigue, testing concepts, fatigue design concepts
