Grain Size Effect on Low Cycle Fatigue Behavior of High Strength Structural Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents grain size effect on low cycle fatigue behavior of high strength maraging steel with gain size of 20,60 and 100μm and Ti-6Al-4V alloy with grain size of 0.5,1.4 and 5.1μm. Low cycle fatigue strength of the maraging steel depends on grain size in number of cycles up to 103.The smaller the grain size, the higher the low cycle fatigue strength was. Quasci-cleavage fracture surfaces were predominant for material with grain size of 20μm,while intergranular fracture surfaces were predominant for materials with larger grain size in number of cycles lower than 60. Striation was predominant for all tested materials in number of cycles higher than 60.Low cycle fatigue strength of Ti-6Al-4V alloy also depends on grain size in number of cycles up to 104. Grain size dependent transgranular fracture surfaces were predominant for materials with ultra-fine grain size of 0.5μm and fine grain size of 1.4μm.
