Fatigue: environment and temperature effects

Book ·
OSTI ID:6422460
An overview of temperature and environmental effects of fatigue is provided and room temperature environmental effects are examined, taking into account corrosion fatigue crack propagation, surface reactions and fatigue crack growth, and the determination of prefracture damage and failure prediction in corrosion-fatigued Al-2024-T4 by X-ray diffraction methods. Room temperature environmental effects are considered along with materials, and design engineering applications. High temperature and environmental effects are explored, giving attention to the effect of microstructure on the fatigue behavior of Ni base superalloys, creep crack growth, the temperature dependent deformation mechanisms of alloy 718 in low cycle fatigue, deformation induced microstructural changes in austenitic stainless steels, fatigue and fracture resistance of stainless steel weld deposits after elevated temperature irradiation, high-temperature static fatigue in ceramics, and environment, frequency, and temperature effects on fatigue in engineering plastics.
