Effects of Microstructure on the Fatigue Crack Propagation Resistance in Dual Phase Steel
複合組織鋼 의 피勞균열進展抵抗 에 미치는 微視組織 의 영향
Abstract
In this study, martensite-ferrite dual phase steel composed of martensite in hard phase and ferrite in soft phase is made as model material, and the difference of fatigue crack propagation behavior resulted from the structural size is investigated by fracture mechanics and microstructural method. The main results obtained are as follows; 1)Fatigue crack propagation rate is influenced by ferrite grain size. In other words, in the low .DELTA. K region fatigue crack propagation rate is decreased with decreasing of grain size but the difference of propagation rate resulted from the structural size is decreased as .DELTA.K is increased. 2)The above result is explained by the degree of crack arrest effect of second phase for fatigue crack propagation depending on the ratio of reversed plastic zone size to ferrite grain size.
