This study investigated the fatigue stength of non-load carrying cruciform welded joints, which was maunfactured using the SM570 and POSTEN80 high strengh steel. Factors such as fatigue strength, fatigue crack initiation and propagation, thickness effect, and the relatioinship between the static strength and the fatigue strength were examined and compared with previous fatigue testing results. Results showed that the fatigue strength of SM570 and POSTEN80 steel are higher than the grade represented on the design specification. It is also identified the size effect and the dependence of the static stength in a few cases.

In this paper, fatigue crack propagation behaviors were investigated experimentally for the materials, carbon steel forgings (SF45A, SF50A, SF60A) which are used in the marine propeller shaft. The results obtained are as follows: The number of cycles required to grow crack length 1.30mm from microcrack initiation was about 60% of the total fatigue life. Fatigue crack propagation rate was expressed by the equation d(2a)/dN_B 2a/$N_f$ and the result was agreed well with the experimented data. And the equation d(2a)/dN=$C{\sigma}_a^m(2a)^n$ was evaluated also. Obtained material property m and n are 3~5 and 1-1.5 respectably, and the result was reasonably agreed to the data obtained from experiments.

Spot welding is very important and useful technology in fabrication of an automobile body structure. Because fatigue strength of the spot welding point is however considerably lower than parent metal due to stress concentration at the nugget edge, accurate stress analysis and fatigue stength evaluation of spot welded lap joint are very important to valuate the reliability and durability of automobile body structure and to establish a criterion of long life fatigue design. Many invetigators have studied so far onsystematic fatigue strength evaluation with various methods. It is however necessary to verify their reliability and abailability for practical application to fatigue design of spot welded structure, Thus,in this study, fatigue strength evaluation methods of spot welded lap joint. which are the maximum principal stress method. the fracture and availability with the Weibull probability distribution. From the results, it was found that reliability and availability withe the Weibull probaility distribution. From the results, it was found that reliability and availability of the suggest fatigue strength estimation methods methods were higher than $\Delta$P-$N_f$ relation. However, among them , reliability of the maximum pricipal stress method was the highest.

NiCrAly/YSZ(8wt% Y2O3-Zro2) functionally fraded thermal barrier coating (FGC) layers on a Co-base sureralloy (HAYNESS 188) substrate were fabricated using Ar shielded single torch air plasma spraying method. Functional grading were produced with the stepwise compositional change throughout layer thinkness. Microstructural observation revealed a sucessful fabrication of NiCrAly/YSZ FGC. From the results of the curvature measurement, adhesive stength measurement and thermal shock test for the FGC, it was concluded that the optimum enhance of functionally graded coating layer thinkcess and compositional pattern exit to enhance the properties of FGC, which is closely reated to the internal residual distribution with it.

Beta-type alloys are the most versatile class of titanium alloys. They offer the highest strength to weight ratios and very attractive combinations of strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance inlarge cross sections [1]. The present study was made to obtain useful information for the design of ${\beta}$-type titanium alloys with high-strength properties by using the $DV-X{\alpha}$ method. Employing two calculated parameters, the bond order (Bo) and the d-orbital energy level (Md) of alloying elements in ${\beta}$-type titanium alloy was introduced and used for prediction of mechanical properties. Thus, high-strength titanium alloys were designed by calculating the Md and Bo values of the previous and present titanium alloys.
