HSP処理SUS316Lの残留応力分布および硬さ分布を用いた高サイクル疲労限度推定

抄録

Hard shot peening (HSP) treatment was very successful for the improvement of the high cycle fatigue strength of SUS316L steel. The improvement of the fatigue strength was caused by a hardening (a strain hardening) and a compressive residual stress of surface hardened layer which have a thickness of about 500μm, and was caused by change from surface crack origin fracture to subsurface crack origin fracture. In this study, the estimation of fatigue limit at about 10⁸ cycles was attempted by using the hardness distribution, the HVB distribution and the residual stress distribution. By regarding the residual stress as the mean stress and by transforming from the HVB distribution to the fatigue strength or the tensile strength, the local fatigue strength distribution of HSP-treated SUS316L steel was calculated using the endurance fatigue limit diagram and the modified Goodman's diagram (the general method). As the result, fatigue limit at about 10⁸ cycles was not able to estimate by these general method. But, from the proposal method with considering the stress intensity factor, the estimation of fatigue limit was fairly good coincident with the experimental fatigue limit.
