The Effect of Microstructure on the Fatigue Properties of a .40/150 Carbon Steel.
Abstract
One of the primary methods used today in changing the properties of materials is heat treating (changing the microstructure). However, little work has been done to determine the effect of microstructure on the fatigue properties of a material. Work performed on four microstructures of a .40/.50 carbon steel is reported. The fatigue properties of the four microstructures were compared in a traditional manner (S-N data) and by measuring crack propagation in center cracked panels (2a-N data). An effect of microstructure on fatigue was observed as a 'stacking and sorting' of both the S-N and 2a-N data.
