In this study corrosion-fatigue tests have been conducted on fracture mechanics specimens extracted from an S355 G10+M structural steel welded plate. The performed compact tension with the crack tip located in heat affected zone. test results compared data available base metal as well air same material. Moreover, obtained literature a wide range of steels and also fatigue trends for joints free...

We investigated the electrical and optical properties of ITO/Ag-alloy/ITO films in a corrosive NaCl solution. The effects bending fatigue combined with aggressive environments provided by salt solution were also studied. It is shown that exposure to can cause performance degrade over time. In addition, greater changes resistance lower values transmittance observed at higher concentrations combi...

The fatigue strength, effects of a notch on the fatigue strength, and fatigue crack growth rate of Ti-15Zr-4Nb-4Ta alloy were compared with those of other implantable metals. Zr, Nb, and Ta are important alloying elements for Ti alloys for attaining superior long-term corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. The highly biocompatible Ti-15Zr-4Nb-4Ta alloy exhibited an excellent balance between...

The conclusions of an experimental program involving altered tensile strength and microstructure of stainless compressor valve steel are described. The paper presents the results of measurements of ductility, corrosion resistance, bending fatigue strength and damping. Encouraging indications have been achieved concerning the possibilities to further improve the characteristics of current materi...

When in the presence of liquid metal environments, structural materials can potentially lose the ability to deform and plastically flow. In the case of a ductile material, the result of this reduction in flow ability is a transition from ductile to brittle behavior, resulting in a brittle-like failure. This phenomenon is known as liquid metal embrittlement (LME) and is a subset of the more comm...

Service conditions of turbine blades involve fatigue, creep, and environmental corrosion. Themanner in which these mechanisms interact to initiate cracks is complex. These physicalmechanisms have been observed through observation and measurement of damage in adirectionally-solidified (DS) GTD-111 Ni-base superalloy. Experiments include high temperaturelow cycle fatigue with and ...
