Behavior of Fatigue Crack Propagation from Surface Flaw

表面欠陷 에 發생하는 疲勞크랙擧動

In terms of behavior of fatigue cracks propagated after build-up around the artificial drilled miro-hole, this study has been made of the build-up process of slips and micro cracks, behavior of micro-crack propagation and the definition of fatigue limit under the rotating bending stress with low carbon steel. The results of this study are as follows: (1) The fatigue limit is the repropagating critical stress for the nonpropagating cracks which have grown to some limit around the micro-hole in regard of the magnitude of micro-hole. (2) Behavior of the slips and micro-cracks initiation are occurring simultaneously in front and in rear of micro-hole tips in the view of the rotational direction, regardless of the magnitude of micro-hole. (3) Behavior of fatigue crack propagation is different from magnitude of micro-hole, its behavior is propagation of single crack about respectively large hole, but about respectively small hole, fatigue crack propagated joining phenomena of micro-cracks. (4) The behavior of fatigue fracture is affected by the factor of its defects in the view of magnitude of micro-hole when the diameter of the micro-holes are smaller than 50.mu.m, and this is also affected with the size effect of micro-hole diameter.

본 연구에서는 자연적인 미소흠함주위에 발생, 전파하는 피로크랙의 거동을 검토하기 위하여, 기존재료가 갖고 있는 흠함이나 비금속개재물을 대신할 수 있다고 생각되는 크기가 다른 비관통 인공미성구멍을 갖는 여러 종류의 시험편을 준비하고, 이 시험편들이 갖는 인공미성구멍주위에 발생전파하는 피로크랙의 거동을, 금속현미경 관찰을 토대로 상세히 고찰하였다. 그리고 이러한 관찰을 기초로 하여 비관통인공미 성구멍의 대성에 따른 피로한계도거동에 대해서도 고찰하였다.
