The behavior of crack propagation in the complete reversed tensile and compressive fatigue test piece of circular section with Fish eye of the heat treated high-speed steel was investigated by using an acoustic emission technique. Moreover, the property of crack propagation in the 1/2CT test piece was investigated.
The results obtained are summerized as follows;
(1) The number of stress cycles NAE for crack initiation and propagation and the number of stress cycles Nf for fracture were accurately estimated by measuring continuously AE total ringdown counts during the fatigue process.
(2) The fatigue life was good accord with the value of Nf estimated by the acoustic emission technique. The life of fatigue crack propagation (Nf-NAE)Lab. was 25-50% of the fatigue life Nf and decreased with decreasing stress amplitude.
(3) The life of fatigue crack propagation (Nf-NAE)cal. calculated from the property of crack propagation in the 1/2CT test piece showed good agreement with the value of (Nf-NAE)Lab. obtained by the acoustic emission technique.
(4) The behavior of crack propagation in the complete reversed tensile and compressive fatigue test piece of circular section showed good corrrelation with the behavior of crack propagation in the 1/2CT test piece, so that it is suggested that the initiative mechanism of residual stress on the fracture surface with Fish eye can be discussed by using the 1/2CT test piece.
