Electroless Ni-P (EN) plating, as an important group of metallic coatings, employed in a wide range of industrial applications. The current work aims to investigate the effects of pretreatment process before EN plating on fatigue behavior of SAE 1045 steel. The specimens of rotating bending fatigue test were prepared from the steel in two series. A group of samples used in as-polished con...

Abstract The stability of compressive residual stresses generated by deep rolling plays a decisive role on the fatigue behavior specimens and components, respectively. In this regard, at elevated temperature has proven to be very effective in stabilizing when analysis is conducted ambient temperature. However, since can affected not only plastic deformation but also thermal energy provided, it ...
