This study compares the fatigue behavior of quenched/tempered and austempered super clean Cr–Si high strength steels (HSS). The microstructure of the quenched and tempered steel consisted of tempered martensite and that ...

In this study, a model of fatigue life estimative based on dynamic mechanical analysis and fatigue tests is validated. Storage modulus is the viscoelastic parameter which better correlate with fatigue resistance. Accordingly, ...

The aim of the present work is to identify an environmentally clean coating process that will present lower influence in the Ti-6Al-4V fatigue strength. Axial fatigue tests of Ti-6Al-4V alloy TiN, CrN and WC:H (tungsten ...
