INFLUENCE BY CALCAREOUS DEPOSITS ON FATIGUE CRACK CLOSURE IN STEEL
- Date Issued:
- 1986
- Summary:
- A model for calcareous deposit induced fatigue crack closure has been previously reported based upon the criterion that the deposit thickness within the crack equals or exceeds one-half the minimum crack opening displacement. In the present paper an expanded and refined model is proposed by considering (1) compaction of calcareous deposits during the closure period of the stress cycle and (2) the relationship between R ratio and threshold stress intensity range. Compression tests upon calcareous films grown on steel surfaces have been performed, and these reveal the change in deposit thickness as a function of stress. The implications of these models to calcareous deposit induced fatigue crack closure are discussed in terms of mechanical and electrochemical parameters.
