Fatigue fracture of steel with ferrite-martensite composite structure

https://doi.org/10.17073/0368-0797-2022-2-92-97

Abstract

The article presents results of the fatigue tests of natural steel composite material for cyclic bending in a zero loading cycle. Natural ferritemartensite composite (NFMC) has a structure of alternating layers of viscous ferrite and strong martensite, which determines special mechanism of crack deceleration under loading. Zero loading cycle presumes presence of tensile forces directed only in one side, which makes it possible to avoid work hardening of crack edges during its growth. A diagram of fatigue fracture was constructed using data obtained on kinetics of fatigue crack propagation and its growth rate, depending on the number of vibration cycles. Comparison of test results for the samples made of steel of the same chemical composition was carried out. In one case, the secondary sorbite structure ran through the traditional heat treatment. In the other, quenching of the initial row ferrite-pearlite structure in intercritical temperature range, led to obtaining ferrite-martensite composite layered structure. These materials had the same hardness, but the difference in structure organization caused the NFMC structure steel advantage in terms of resistance to fracture under cyclic loading. When crack approaches the martensite-ferrite interface, delamination occurs in ferrite due to tensile stresses parallel to the crack plane. Growth of a crack stops before additional energy is supplied for a new crack generation under conditions close to the uniaxial stress state. Method for determining characteristics of kinetics of crack growth under fatigue loading is presented and recommended for testing steels and alloys under conditions of cyclic load changes.
