Fatigue crack growth rates in commercial plate of high strength Al 7075-T651 were investigated for the T-L direction in air, water and sea water. In this paper the effect of cyclic load wave-form(trapezoid and triangle) on fatigue crack growth rates in air, water and sea water environments were investigated using standard LEFM testing procedures. It was founded that the fatigue crack growth behaviors were not affected by cyclic load wave-forms. In region II (stable crack growth region), the fatigue crack growth behaviors were insensitive to cyclic load wave-forms and were sensitive to environment i.e. fatigue crack growth behaviors were higher in sea water than in air for all cyclic load wave-form. The result of fractographical morphology in air, water and sea water by SEM showed obvious dimple rupture and typical striation in air, but transgranular fracture surface in water and sea water. The values m are not affected by corrosion environments but C are different values.

Fatigue crack growth rates(i.e. crack initiation and crack growth of short and long crack) are investigated using commercial plates of high strength Al alloy 7075-T651 for the transverse-longitudinal(T-L) direction in air, water and sea water. Also, the evaluation direct current potential drop(D.C.P.D) method and the fractographical analysis by SEM are carried out. Near threshold region, short crack growth rates were much faster than those of comparable long cracks, and these short crack growth rates actually decrease with increasing crack growth and eventually merge with long crack data. Fatigue crack propagation rates in aggressive media(i.e. sea water) increase noticeably over three times those in air. One of the most significant characters in this phenomenon as a corrosion-fatigue causes an acceleration in crack growth rates. Sea water environment, particularly Cl$^{[-10]}$ solution brings the most detrimental effects to aluminum alloy. The result of fractographical morphology in air, water and sea water by SEM shows obvious dimpled rupture and typical striation in air, but transgranular fracture surface in water and sea water.

6063-T5 alloys are tested in laboratory air, water and 3% NaCl solution to investigate the effects of corrosive environment on the retardation behavior through single overload fatigue test. Also, the fatigue crack propagation and the crack closure behavior are studied. The results obtained in this experimental study are summarized as follows. 1) Behaviors of fatigue crack growth retardation are observed in water and 3% NaCl solution as they do in air. The number of delay cycles and the size of affected region by single overload decrease greatly in water and 3% NaCl compared with those in air. 2) In fractographic results, the overload marking by single overload appear remarkably in air, but indistinctly in water and 3% NaCl solution. 3) The effect of crack closure on crack propagation is most remarkable in the beginning of crack propagation. With crack propagation, the crack closure level and its effect decrease greatly.

항공기 및 자동차를 위시한 기계공업 전반의 급속한 발달과 더불어 각종 기계들이 전문, 특수화됨에 따라 이들의 작업조건 역시 고속, 고하중화 되어가며 모든 기계요소의 접촉조건을 이겨낼 수 있는 해졀책이 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방안으로 현재 선진공업국에서는 재래식 금속재료의 표면에 목적하는 효과를 발휘할 수 있는 물질을 코팅(coating)하여 그 표면의 특성을 향상시키기 위해 노력하고 있다. 일반 기계요소에서 발생되는 파괴는 원천적으로 접촉표면 및 부표면(subsurface)에서 시작되며 이는 표면층(surface layer)이 마모, 부식, 피로 등의 표면 관련 제 현상에 대한 대응능력이 결핍되거나 부족하게 되는 곳과 관련지울수 있다. 일반 금속재료로써는 표면층을 최적의 Tribology 적 성질 (내마모성, 내부식성, 고강도 등)을 갖도록 하기에는 미흡하다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 수단으로 bulk material에 그것이 가지지 못하는 Tribology 적으로 우수한 성질을 그 표면층에 부여하는 기술로써 여러가지 방법이 개발되어 왔으나 그중 대표적인 것이 바로 표면 코팅기술이다.

To study the corrosion fatigue begavior of T.M.C.P. steel, the rotary bending fatigue test with the change of concentration of NaCl solution was carried out. Fatigue life in the corrosion environment is decreased markedly in comparision with that in the air. Fatigue limit in the air was about 225 MPa. In case of 3.5% NaCl solution fatigue life could be expressed as .sigma./sub f/=10,392 * (N/sub f/)/sup -o.2923 . According to the paris's rule, crack growth rates could be expressed as da/dN=2.62.*10/sup -7/ .DELTA. K/sup 1.09/(3.5% NaCl solution), da/dN=1.95 *10/sup -7 .DELTA. K/sup 1.05/(1% NaCl solution), da/dN=2.62 * 10/sup -7/.DELTA./sup 0.72/(0.01% NaCl solution) with da/dN expressed in mm/cycle and .DELTA.K in MPa.GAMMA.m. The crack growth rate in the corrosion environment was highest under 3.5% NaCl solution.

In general, structural integrity of rolling stock structures should last more than 25 years. During the lifetime corrosive degradation occurs. For structural design and diagnosis, quantitative relationship between corrosive degradation and variation of mechanical properties such as tensile strength and fatigue strength is needed. In this study, first of all we established the atmospheric corrosion test procedure. At regular intervals using specimens of SM490A and SS400 on the atmospheric corrosion test bed, we carried out tensile and fatigue tests. The fatigue strength decreases as the atmospheric corrosion period increases. And we studied the effect of post-weld heat treatment on the tensile and fatigue behaviour.

전 세계적으로 항공기의 노후화에 따른 안전성 확보와 수명연장을 위한 대책 연구가 활발하다. 미국의 경우 군용기 (주로 수송기)의 평균수명은 40년을 넘어서고 있으며 이들은 아직도 $20{\sim}30년$ 더 사용될 예정이다. 민간항공기의 경우에도 군용기만큼은 아니지만 노후화하고 있기는 마찬가지이다. 수명연장을 위해 여러가지 비파괴검사 기술이 활용되고 있으며, 새로운 비파괴 시험 평가 검사 방법들이 속속 개발되고 있다. 항공기의 안전을 위협하는 기체구조 손상의 2대 주범으로는 부식과 피로를 꼽을 수 있으며, 이를 탐지하고 평가하기 위한 경제적인 검사방법에 대한 연구가 미국을 중심으로 활발하게 진행되고 있는데, 이에 대한 최근 현황을 살펴본다.

In this paper, the corrosion fatigue crack propagation behavior of structure rolled steel (SWS 41C) was investigated by changing the thickness, and this experiment was done by the three point bending corrosion fatigue tester. The main results obtained are as follows: 1) As the thickness of specimen becomes thicker, the corrosion sensitivity to initial stage crack becomes some sensitive, and that the fatigue life becomes more sensitive. 2) The crack growth rate to initial stage crack (da/dN) was retarded as the thickness of specimen becomes thicker. But after initial stage crack, as the thickness of specimen is more thicker, da/dN is more rapid. 3) As the corrosion fatigue crack length grows, the accelerative factor of thick specimen (t=12mm) is more higher than that of thin specimen (t=6mm). 4) As the corrosion fatigue crack length grows, the corroson potential of both thick specimen and thin specimen becomes more less noble potential, however thick specimen (t=12mm) tends to more less noble potential than that of thin specimen(t=6mm).

현재 LAC 베어링에 적용되는 표면 처리는 일반적으로 하드터닝+슈퍼피니싱 가공이 적용되고 있고, 장수명을 위한 표면 처리 기술이 보다 더 요구되는 추세이다. Burnishing 기술은 매끄럽고 단단한 공구를 베어링 궤도면에 충분한 압력을 가하여 서로 문질러(rubbing) 마찰면을 소성 변형시켜 표면 거칠기 및 압축 잔류 응력 등을 향상 시키는 기술이며, 베어링과 같은 금속의 경우 버니싱 가공 적용 시 광택을 띠는 특성을 가지므로 외관 품질 향상에 기여하므로 슈퍼 피니싱 공정을 대신할 수 있다. 또한 표면 finishing, 표면 경도, 내마모성 및 피로/부식 저항성을 향상시킨다. 이에 본 연구에서는 슈퍼 피니싱 가공을 대신하기 위한 버니싱 가공의 물성을 검토하였고, 다른 공정과의 비교를 통한 버니싱 기술의 효과 확인하였다.

Corrosion highly affects to reduce lifetime and performance of machinery metallic components. The effects of shot peening on the fatigue life of metal material under corrosive environment are investigated in this paper. Experimental results show that the fatigue limit of shot peened specimen increases about 52$\%$. That means the fatigue life of metallic components is highly extended by shot peening. The corrosion greatly reduces the fatigue strength depending on the corrosive condition from one week up to one year. In case of shot peened specimen, the corrosion does not reduce the fatigue strength and fatigue life up to six months. It means that shot peening has superior effectiveness to reduce the influence of corrosion to the metallic materials.
