Abstract
The service life of components can be extended by repairing fatigue crack with laser so as to improve resource utilization rate. However, the effect of laser repair may be influenced by the instability of laser treatment. To investigate the addition of nanocomposites on the laser repairing effect, fatigue test under uniaxial tension was carried out to evaluate the fatigue life of precracked 304 stainless steel components repaired by laser. According to the results obtained from fatigue tests, a probabilistic fatigue life distribution model considered the sampling size and discreteness of data was established based on the three-parameter Weibull distribution model and three-parameter stress-life equation. The results of probabilistic fatigue life distribution model show that the fatigue life of components repaired by laser with addition of WC nanocomposites can be enhanced significantly, especially the high cycle fatigue life. Moreover, the microstructure of repaired region show that the WC nanoparticles could refine the recrystallized grains and lead to the improvement of strength and toughness of material around crack tip, which are the main reason of improved fatigue life. Meanwhile, smooth surface of repaired region caused by WC nanoparticles can also prevent the initiation of microcracks. Key-words: Fatigue failure; Laser repair; WC nanocomposites; Microstructure.
期刊介绍:
The Journal Soldagem & Inspeção (S&I) js a techno-scientific journal created in 1995. Printed issues of this journal are distributed free of charge to libraries in Brazil, Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula. It has been printed regularly every quarter since September, 2002, and, since the beginning of 2007, its electronic version is available in the address: (http://www.abs-soldagem.org.br/s&i/). The journal is sponsored by the Brazilian Welding Association (ABS).
Since its creation several well known professionals working in welding contributed with the Journal Soldagem & Inspeção and its editorial board crosses the Brazilian borders. During its evolution the Journal received ta special contribution from the Editors-in-chief : Ronaldo Paranhos, Américo Scoti, Paulo Modenesi e Alexandre Bracarence. Since January 2012 the Editor-in-chief is Ana Sofia C. M. D’Oliveira, Full professor at Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR) . Her work focus mainly on Hardfacing and Physical Metallurgy. The jornal Soldagem & Inspeção also counts with 10 Associate Editors and a fix Editorial board of referees. short-term (Ad Hoc) referees can be invited to evaluate some papers submitted to the journal.
The Soldagem & Inspeção journal is the scientific divulgation channel of the Brazilian Welding Association (ABS). It aims to publish original papers related to the scientific and technological development of welding, inspection, and related fields. Review papers or letters on current and controversial subjects are also published in the Journal.
Its abbreviated title is Soldag. insp. (Impr.), which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.
