Fatigue strength of the spot welded lap joint is considerably influenced by corrosive environments. Particularly, the chloride and the sulfide are most injurious to strength of the spot welded lap joint. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate its effect to corrosion fatigue strength for safe life design of spot welded structures. In order to evaluate their corrosion fatigue strength, corrosion fatigue tests on the spot welded lap joints of the uncoated and the coated high strength steel sheets were conducted in air and in 10% NaCl solution. Corrosion fatigue strength of the uncoated specimens were entirely lower than the coated one in NaCl solution, but those of the coated specimens in NaCl solution were lower than in air. And stress distribution in single spon welded lap joint subjected to tension-shear load was investigated by the finite element method. Using these results, we tried to evaluate corrosion fatgue strength of the various spot welded lap joints with maximum stress $\sigma_{max}$ at edge on loading side of the spot welded lap joint. We could find that corrosion fatigue strength could be quantitatively and systematically rearranged by $\sigma_{max}$.

The strength evaluation and life prediction on the corrosion part of structure is one of the most important subjects, as a viewpoint of reducing economic loss by regular inspection, maintenance, repair and replace. For this purpose, it has been difficult to obtain the available data on growth of pit depth or growth rate of each pit which depends on time. In this paper, the life prediction and strength evaluation method was suggested for the structure with irregular stress concentration part by surface corrosion. The statistical distribution pattern of corrosion depth and the degree of fatigue strength decline were confirmed according to corrosion period by artificial corrosion of SS41 steel. The life prediction and the fatigue strength evaluation of materials with consideration of the corrosion period on the extreme value statistic analysis by the data of maximum depth of corrosion and on random variable was studied.

Fatigue tests under acid fog environment were carried out to investigate the effect of acid fog on the corrosion fatigue strength of SM55C in comparison with distilled water. Main results obtained are as follows. The fatigue strength of SM55C under acid fog environment are remarkably decreased as compared with that of distilled water specimen. The corrosive effect of acid fog on fatigue strength are more serious under low stress amplitude level than under high stress amplitude level, and this leads to continuous reduction of fatigue strength. Under acid fog environment in early stage of crack growth. because the corrosive components dissolve the crack face offensively. the unstable fracture surface appears. But, the stable corrosion precipitation and products layer are formed on the fracture surface in accordance with the time pass.

In this study, the effects of gas ratio($N_2:H_2$) and treatment time on the fatigue fracture behavior, fatigue crack growth behavior and corrosion fatigue fracture behavior for the ion-nitrided SM45C steel were investigated. The results show that the fatigue limit and corrosion fatigue strength increased in porportion to $N_2$ gas and treatment time for all kinds of specimen, used in the experiment. Compare to the non-nitrided specimen, the fatigue limit and the corrosion fatigue strength increased about $24{\sim}29%$ at $10^7$ cycles in air and $32{\sim}48%$ at $10^6$ cycles in 3% NaCl aqueous solution, respectively. Similar results were derived with SM45C steel under Compression-Tension $24{\sim}29%$ at $10^6$ cycles in air and $32{\sim}48%$ either in 3% NaCl aqueous solution or in tap water, respectively. Ion-nitrided SM45C steel showed a slow fatigue crack growth rate at relatively low range of ${\Delta}K$ compared to the non-nitrided specimen. To the contrary, its rate increase at higher range of ${\Delta}K$.

피로파괴의 발생원인을 살펴보면 다음과 같이 4가지로 구별된다. (1) 설계불량 (2) 가공불량 (3) 소재불량 (4) 부적절한 사용 그러나 현재 기계설계시 일반적으로 형상계수 및 충격계수를 포함한 안전율을 여유있게 고려하기 때문에 피로강도가 간접적으로 설계시 반영되어 피로파괴는 주로 가공이나 원소재 불량 및 사용상의 부주의에 의한 경우가 대부분이다. 즉 기계가공 도중에 노치가 유입되어 응력집중을 발생시키거나, 규정된 표면처리 혹은 열처리가 이루어지지 못해서 재료의 피로강도가 저하한 경우가 많으며, 소재 역시 비금속 개재물이 다량 함유되어 있거나 열처리 특성이 조악한 소재가 사용되어 요구되는 강도를 확보하지 못한 경우도 많다. 그 반면 사용자 측에서도 설계강도를 무시한 과부하를 인가하거나, 부식환경 혹은 고온에서 사용하여 피로파괴를 촉진시키는 경우도 있으므로 사용자도 설계조건을 인식하여 그 한계를 넘지 않도록 해야 한다. 피로파괴는 단순한 원인에 의한 경우가 적고 복잡한 여러 형상이 중첩되는 경우가 많기 때문에 해석하기 어려운 경우가 많다. 결국 피로 파괴의 방지는 피로강도를 저하시킬 수 있는 요인들을 종합하여 설계단계에서부터 최종 사용단계까지 지속적인 관리에 의해서만 달성 될 수 있다.

구조물이나 기계요소내의 결함이 성장하여 파손(Failure)에 이르는 현상은 공학분야에서 중요하게 평가되어 오고 있다. 반복적으로 변하는 응력에 의하여 결함이 초기 성장을 거쳐 재료의 파손에 이르게 되는 과정인 피로파괴는 파괴역학의 한 중요한 분야이다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 열처리의 특성상 부식환경에 매우 민감한 Al-Zn-Mg-Cu Alloy 7075에 대하여 Peak Aged T65l Tempering을 실시한 Al-Alloy 7075-T65l에 대하여 각기 환경(대기, 물, 해수)의 변화가 부식피로균열성장에 미치는 영향과 부식환경에서의 긴 균열(Long Crack)과 짧은 균열(Short Clark)의 부식피로균열 성장특성을 비교, 고찰하여 초기균열의 잠재시간과 안정성장 시간을 예측하여 구조물의 수명예측 및 안전성 평가에 기여 할 수 있는데 목적이 있다.

The corrosion fatigue test was conducted in air to investigate the corrosion fatigue strength of SM 30 C steel by which was corroded in the under sea and surface in the conditions of 3.0% NaCl salt solution. The fatigue tests were carried out on a rotary bending testing machine of cantilever type. The corrosion effect of the sea surface conditionwas served more than that of the under sea condition which was due ti the periodic contact of air thus accelerate the corrosion. The difference of the fatgue strength between sea surface and under sea conditions decreased with increase of stree level and corroded period. Inthe case of the solid shaft and thickness 2mm of hollow shaft, the difference of corrosion fatigue strength decreased as stress level and corrosion periodic increasing. Onthe contrary in the case of thickness 1mm of hollow sgaft, the difference of it increased as stress level, corrosionn periooodic increasing and also the condition of corrosion chaanged. The main factors affecting the degradation of fatigue strength due to corrosion were the reduction of sectional area and the increase of surface roughness. The interference phenomenon increase with stress level got higher.

Fatigue strength of hull structural steel plate, extracted from longitudinal bulkhead of a 17-year-old ore/oil carrier for renewal, was investigated in air and in artificial seawater condition. The surface of the plate was covered with corrosion pits and they proved to be crack initiation sites by fractography using SEM. From this research, it was found that the evaluation method for fatigue strength of virgin mild steel plates in air and in artificial seawater can also be applied to the evaluation of the fatigue strength of mild steel plates those were long-term exposed to a corrosive environment and their surfaces had been rusted intensively.

Suspension part should have enough endurance during its lifetime to protect passenger. Therefore, the coil spring is one of the major suspension part of an automobile. Corrosion fatigue strength of the coil spring depends on many factors including mechanical and environmental properties. In this paper, residual stresses by shot peening was analyzed using finite element analysis and evaluated its effect on corrosion fatigue strength.
