Abstract

Very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) behavior of aerospace components has emerged much attention due to their long service life. In this study, a piezoelectric ultrasonic fatigue testing (UFT) system has been developed by Mbrosiatec Co., Ltd. to study the high cycle fatigue (HCF) strength of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Hourglass-shaped specimens have been investigated in the range from $10^6$ to $10^9$ cycles at room temperature under completely reversed R = -1 loading conditions,. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that failures occurred in the entire range up to the gigacycle regime, and the fractures have beenfound to be initiated from the surface, unlike in steels. However, it was found from the SEM microgprahs that microcracks transformed into intergranular fractures. Thus, it can be concluded from according to the results that this test method can be applicable to commercialized automotive and railroad parts that require high cycle fatigue strength.

본 연구에서는 Ti-6Al-4V 합금에 대한 초고주기 피로시험 연구를 통하여 사이클에 따른 파단면 관찰결과 2가지 타입으로 명확히 구분되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 첫번째로 106사이클 범위에서 확인할 수 있는 것은 표면부에서 피로크랙 사이트가 시작된 전형적인 피로 파단면이다. 두번째는 107~109사이클에서는 확연히 다른 피로파단 양상으로, 표면으로부터 $500{\mu}m$ 내부에서 피로크랙 사이트가 시작되어 크게 박리되어 나간 형상으로, 크랙 사이트 주변을 관찰한 결과 미세한 마이크로 크랙들이 입계파괴 양상으로 형성되어 있는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이에 내부 크랙 사이트 피로거동에 대한 연구결과와 본 시험에서 사용된 초음파피로시험기술의 이론 및 적용사례를 소개하고 현재 활발히 진행중인 연구동향을 밝히고자 한다.
