This book was released on 1983 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The microstructural variability existing in weld heat-affected zones (HAZ) of SA533 Grade B steel has a strong influence on the fatigue crack growth rate of the material in a simulated nuclear reactor environment. In particular, considerably high susceptibility to environmentally enhanced cracking has been noted in the coarse grains of tempered martensite. This phenomenon is considered to be important not only in connection with predicting the cracking of the weld HAZ structures but also in elucidating the mechanism of crack growth enhancement in the high-temperature water environment. The materials used in the study are primarily SA533 Grade B and several other low-alloy steels including SA387, SA542, SA543, JIS SPV 46Q, and AISI 4340. Different heat treatments were given to these alloys to obtain a variety of microstructures and strengths. The results obtained show a general tendency for the crack growth rates of higher-strength materials to be more substantially accelerated in the simulated boiling-water reactor (BWR) water environment as the stress ratio is shifted from 0.1 to 0.5. In order to explore the operation of the cracking mechanism under dynamic loading, slow strain rate tests (SSRTs) were also performed. As with the cyclic crack growth rate tests, the materials with higher yield strengths exhibited highly enhanced crack growth rates and showed Ji values much reduced compared with those obtained in 288°C air. Furthermore, the crack growth rates under cyclic loading are directly compared with those obtained by the SSRT technique in terms of time-based crack growth rate in the water environment and in air by using plots of (da/dt)E versus (da/dt)air where (da/dt)E is the time-based crack growth rate in an aggressive environment and (da/dt)air is the rate in air. A satisfactory correspondence can be obtained between corrosion-fatigue test crack growth rates and those obtained by SSRTs.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research is mostly planned to enhance the fatigue properties of PM steels inasmuch as they are extensively replacing their equivalent wrought steels due mostly to production cost benefits. This goal is going to be achieved through determining the most effective microstructure of PM steels in cyclic loadings. The most effective microstructure is the one that can reduce or stop the fatigue crack propagation through the proper combination of its constituent phases. There exists some researches on this topic, however, they did not reach consistent conclusions due to the lack of sufficient data and/or improper comparison. Therefore, the effect of different constituent phases of a heterogeneous microstructure of a PM steel is still ambiguous and unknown. In order to study this issue, diverse microstructures and the fatigue crack propagation behaviour through them should be studied. Our research begins by choosing two common PM steels manufactured using two alloying techniques of admixed and pre-alloyed to produce heterogeneous and homogeneous microstructures respectively. Two types of heat-treatments namely sinter-hardening and oil-quenching were also utilized to provide more microstructural phases that is needed for the purpose of this study. The samples were then tested in cycling loading using different R-ratio in order to study the effect of fatigue conditions as well. Quantitative analysis of the fracture surfaces, which includes the detailed study of the crack path in OM and SEM, were then performed on the fractured samples. The fatigue crack growth rate data in different PM steels having different microstructures along with the quantitative data acquired from their crack path led us to interesting results on the effect of microstructural constituents on fatigue crack propagation behaviour. It was found that the fatigue crack will propagate more rapidly through the weakest i.e. lowest strength phase among the ones present in the microstructure. Thus, pearlite was not favourable for crack propagation in the company of Ni-rich ferrite while in the presence of martensite, pearlitic grains were found to be the preferred crack path. Moreover, the retained austenite, which was identified in literature to be a beneficial phase for fatigue crack retardation, was found to be ineffective on the matter. Although fatigue cracks circumvented these regions, the deflection caused by this change of crack path did not show any positive effect on fatigue crack retardation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this Handbook is to provide a review of the knowledge and experiences in the field of fatigue fracture mechanics. It is well-known that engineering structures can fail due to cyclic loading. For instance, a cyclically time-varying loading reduces the structure strength and can provoke a fatigue failure consisting of three stages: (a) crack initiation (b) crack propagation and (c) catastrophic failure. Since last century many scientists have tried to understand the reasons for the above-mentioned failures and how to prevent them. This Handbook contains valuable contributions from leading experts within the international scientific community and covers many of the important problems associated with the fatigue phenomena in civil, mechanical and nuclear engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microstructure is the principal independent variable which can be used to control the fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) once loading conditions and environment are established. Microstructure affects the FCGR through its influence on strain distribution (slip character), slip length, plastic zone size, and crack path. These factors, in turn, can influence both crack closure and the materials sensitivity to aggressive environments. This paper reviews the authors' perception of the current understanding of the effect of microstructure on FCGRs.
