A Study on the High Temperature Fatigue Behavior of Hot Forging Die STD61 Steel

STD61 열간 금형강의 고온피로거동에 관한 연구

Although recent research of metallic materials in high temperature fatigue have been much accomplished, many studies about brittle material as a die steel in high temperature fatigue does not have been reported. Especially, the study on the fatigue behavior over the transformation temperature is not studied sufficiently because of its difficult analysis and experiment. Therefore, reliable results of brittle material in high temperature fatigue behavior are needed. In this paper, stress-strain curves and stress-life curves in die STD61 steel at 700 and 900 are carefully examined, as the basic experimental data are used to predict from fatigue life over 700.
