Bending Fatigue Failures in Valve Steel

چکیده
In the present paper the effect of defects (viz. pits, gouges and oxide inclusions) will be reported. Although certain defects were uniformly distributed over the specimen surface, the majority of all fractures started in the edge region. An explanation to this behaviour is presented in terms of stress enhancement in the edge regions due to edge deflections.

Bending Fatigue Failures of Compressor Valve Reeds
Bending fatigue failures OI cantilever type suction valve reeds occurred under operating conditions in a semi-hermetic refrigerant compressor during field trials. The finite element method (FEM) was applied to predict both the static and dynamic displacements and the resultant stresses of the reeds. The dynamic stresses in the location of the fracture exceeded the fatigue limit of the reed stee...
متن کاملAssessment of different methods for fatigue life prediction of steel in rotating bending and axial loading
Generally, fatigue failure in an element happens at the notch on a surface where the stress level rises because of the stress concentration effect. The present paper investigates the effect of a notch on the fatigue life of the HSLA100 (high strength low alloy) steel which is widely applicable in the marine industry. Tensile test was conducted on specimens and mechanical properties were obtain...
متن کاملBending Fatigue Tests and Finite Element Models of Steel Rectangular Hollow Sections [SRHS]
The Welding in cold formed areas is not only an open question for statically loaded sections (brittle fracture) but also for dynamically loaded structures (fatigue resistance). A lot of structures are subjected to dynamic loadings and unfortunately very little information about the influence of welding in the cold formed areas on fatigue resistance is available. In order to establish the fatigu...
متن کاملInfluence of Surface Finishing on Fatigue Properties of Valve Steel
The fatigue strength of flapper valves depends among other things on surface properties of the steel. This paper deals with the effect of a tumbling method*) on bending and tensile fatigue properties of test bars. For carbon steel SANDVIK 20C an improvement was observed in several test series, particularly in the transverse direction of the strip, whereas there was little effect for stainless s...

Electroless Ni-P (EN) plating, as an important group of metallic coatings, employed in a wide range of industrial applications. The current work aims to investigate the effects of pretreatment process before EN plating on fatigue behavior of SAE 1045 steel. The specimens of rotating bending fatigue test were prepared from the steel in two series. A group of samples used in as-polished con...
