Popis: | Detailed quantitative micrographic data are presented for Stages I and II of a Powder Metallurgy Fe-1.5Cr-0.2Mo-0.7C steel specimen fatigued in bending with R = -1 at 24 Hz and a stress amplitude of 312 MPa. The fatigue limit was ∼240 MPa, at which stress level no microcracks were detected in static loading. Testing was interrupted at 100 cycles and at further 29 intervals until failure after 49 900 cycles. For each arrest, surface replicas were made in the two regions where maximum stress was applied. Microcracks could nucleate below 100 cycles, when their sizes ranged from |
