In this study, low cycle fatigue tests were conducted for carbon steel, STS410, low alloy steel, SFVQ1A and austenitic stainless steel, SUS316NG, in order to investigate surface and internal fatigue crack growth characteristics. The tests were conducted under repeated two-step variable amplitude straining conditions to appear beach marks of cracks on the fracture surface. In these tests, periodical surface removal was conducted to suppress surface fatigue cracks to be a main crack which led final fracture. STS410 specimen under surface removal test was not broken until its diameter became too small. There was a defect observed on the section of the specimen cut longitudinally. Cracks initiated from internal inclusion for SFVQ1A and SUS316NG and those fatigue lives were slightly larger under surface removal test compared to those under no surface removal tests. Internal crack growth rates calculated from beach marks were similar to those of surface cracks under the same crack driving force or J integral range, ΔJ.

In this study, the applicability of cumulative damage law for carbon steel, STS410, was investigated. In addition, prediction method of low cycle fatigue life based on small crack growth was researched. First, low cycle fatigue tests under two step variable loading condition were performed for STS410. Variation of cumulative damage UF at failure fell within general variation range, 0.7 to 1.4. The relationship between crack length and UF was corresponded under different conditions. Crack distribution was also corresponded under different strain range conditions. Therefore, cumulative damage law is available to evaluate the fatigue life of STS410. Next, crack initiation, growth and coalescence behavior of STS410 were modeled, and Monte Carlo simulation was carried out. Fatigue life and crack growth of simulation under strain range constant condition were similar to those of experimental results. In the case of two step loading simulation, simulation results show that UF at failure fell within variation range of strain range constant simulation. These results corresponded to experimental results. Crack length and distribution of simulation also corresponded to those of experiment. Therefore, good agreement can be seen in experiment and simulation, so low cycle fatigue lives of strain range constant and variable loading condition are able to be predicted using present model.

The purpose of this study is to investigate low cycle fatigue (LCF) and high cycle fatigue (HCF) strengths, crack initiation and growth behaviors of Ni based castalloy 246. LCF and HCF tests are conducted under load controlled conditions. As the result of the observation of etched specimen, the grain size is from 3 mm to 5 mm. And the microstructure is mainly composed of dendritic structure. Growth orientation of dendritic structure varies in every grain. The result of elemental analysis, Si and Ti are detected at dendritic boundary. The results of LCF test show that small cracks initiate at the first cycle, followed by the crack growth along slip direction. Observation of fracture surface reveals that small cracks originate at casting defect or dendritic boundary. The results of HCF, on the other hand, show that small cracks initiate from subsurface casting defect under Δσ ≦ 600 MPa, while fracture origin becomes surface under Δσ > 600 MPa. The result of HCF test after introducing small crack on the surface shows that small crack on the surface does not affect on the fatigue life and the location of crack initiation. As the result of EBSD, the crack initiation site is near grain boundary and the crack grows along slip plane.

In this study, the effect of machined surface layer on residual stress relaxation was investigated. In previous study, low cycle fatigue strength was affected by residual stress. However, residual stress relaxation was complex because local plastic strain occurred by stress near yield stress. Also, machined surface layer affect the yield stress. Therefore, machined surface layer was modeled using the crystal plasticity model, i.e. plasticity model based on crystallographic deformation mechanics. To describe the microstructure of plastic deformation layer, initial dislocation density and back stress near surface were changed. To describe the microstructure of fine grained layer, grain size near surface was changed. Residual stress relaxation was simulated by crystal plasticity finite element method. Three types of machined surface layers were modeled. Two kind of strain amplitude condition was simulated. In simulation results, local plastic strain was occurred under global elastic condition. Residual stress after cyclic load was different from machined surface conditions under low strain loading. Residual stress was largely relaxed in all cases under high strain loading. Comparing fatigue life of experimental results, simulation results were thought to be valid. Therefore, residual stress relaxation is able to be predicted using this model. Hardening in plastic deformation layer prevents yield by tensile load. However, plastic strain was occurred in plastic deformation under compression load. On the other hand, fine grain layer prevent yield by not only tensile but also compression.
