Fatigue Properties of Welded Structural Steels Initiated from Long-Term Corroded Surfaces

Article Preview

Abstract:

Corrosion fatigue is a phenomenon in which corrosion damage is superimposed on fatigue damage and can result in a significant decrease in fatigue strength. Because corrosion fatigue cracks initiate from the bottom of corrosion pits, corrosion fatigue strength evaluation methods based on the corrosion pit shape have been proposed and put into practical use. However, corrosion fatigue strength evaluation methods have not been fully investigated for cases in which only corrosion damage precedes. Therefore, the state of the corroded surface due to corrosion damage was evaluated using the arithmetic mean waviness Wa. The arithmetic mean waviness Wa is an appropriate parameter for evaluating the degree of corrosion damage in structural steel immersed in synthetic sea water for long period.
