Abstract:

The objective of the current study is to determine the fatigue limit of a clean and high-performance material named as HSLA-100 steel and to compare the obtained fatigue limit with that of theoretically predicted fatigue limit by statistics of extreme value (SEV) method. Also, the size of inclusions located at the site of fatigue crack nucleation on the fracture surface of the fatigue test specimens is compared with the results of extreme value distribution of the inclusions as well as with that of analysis of inclusions found on the polished specimen. The fatigue cracks were initiated from globular inclusions in all fatigue test specimens. Analyzing the fatigue results showed that the SEV method can conservatively predict the planar fatigue limit of HSLA-100 steel. Also, the largest inclusion size predicted by (SEV) method was larger than that of what was observed at the fatigue crack initiation site as well as metallographic studies of polished specimens.

Shear and tensile plastic behavior of austenitic steel TRIP-120 compared with martensitic steel HSLA-100

Themechanical performanceofTRIP-120, a novel transformation induced plasticity steel alloy, is evaluated for different loading cases and strain rates. The performance is compared with HSLA-100, a lowalloy steel developed by the United States Navy and currently used in naval hulls. The response of these materials under uniaxial tension and shear was investigated to the point of fracture at isoth...

Interaction Between Precipitation and Dynamic Recrystallization in HSLA-100 Microalloyed Steel

Strain induced precipitation in HSLA-100 steel was investigated by conducting hotcompression and relaxation tests at temperature range of 850°C to 1100°C and strain rate of 0.001s-1 to 1s-1. The absence of dynamic recrystallization at temperatures below 1000°C was attributedto the influence of dynamic precipitation. The stress relaxation tests showed that strain inducedprecipitation is possible...

Estimating the size of the maximum inclusion in a large sample area of steel

Non-metallic inclusions influence the properties of steel and finished steel products. The methods relating to statistics of extremes are effective for the purpose of predicting the size of the maximum inclusion, which is an important parameter in the quality control and lifetime estimation. A steel sample with two types of inclusions is used to demonstrate the use of the extreme value theory i...

Large Strain Mechanical Behavior of HSLA-100 Steel Over a Wide Range of Strain Rates

High-strength low alloy steels (HSLA) have been designed to replace high-yield (HY) strength steels in naval applications involving impact loading as the latter, which contain more carbon, require complicated welding processes. The critical role of HSLA-100 steel requires achieving an accurate understanding of its behavior under dynamic loading. Accordingly, in this paper, we experimentally inv...
