Abstract

This paper investigates the fatigue and static strength variation of 40 Cr steel which has been subjected to cyclic torsion below the fatigue limit. The experimental results show that an improvement in fatigue strength can be exhibited if low-amplitude cyclic torsion and loading cycles are properly selected. The static strength can also be strengthened through the improvement of fatigue strength. It should be added that there is no significant static strength change in the first 50 % of the fatigue damaging process.

Kurzfassung

Für den vorliegenden Beitrag wurde die Veränderung der Festigkeit eines 40 Cr Stahles unter statischer und Ermüdungsbeanspruchung untersucht, wobei der Werkstoff zyklisch unter Torsion unterhalb der Ermüdungsgrenze beansprucht wurde. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich offensichtlich eine Verbesserung der Ermüdungsfestigkeit einstellt, wenn die zyklische Torsionsbeanspruchung bei niedrigen Amplituden und die Beanspruchungszyklen richtig gewählt werden. Die statische Festigkeit kann mit der Verbesserung der Ermüdungsfestigkeit ebenfalls erhöht werden. Darüber hinaus stellt sich keine signifikante Veränderung der statischen Festigkeit in den ersten 50 % des gesamten Ermüdungsschädigungsprozesses ein.
