EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF INCLUSIONS ON THE FATIGUE PROPERTIES OF STEEL

Thickness-direction specimens have been produced from a number of steel forgings differing mainly with respect to inclusion characteristics. After heat treatment specimens are fatigued and fracture surfaces are examined by means of scanning-electron microscopy in order to determine the site of fatigue-crack nucleation. Experimental observations are evaluated and discussed in the light of fracture mechanics.
