EFFECT OF SUBSTRUCTURE AND RESIDUAL STRESS IN STRENGTHENED LAYER ON FATIGUE STRENGTH OF STAINLESS OR LOW CARBON STEEL

摘要

In the strengthened layer of stainless steel after shot peening,there are a great amount ofdeformation microtwins which may act as structural strengthening factor and prevent thegradual relaxation of surface residual stress during fatigue,so as to keep its rather high levelof bending fatigue strength.However,in the strengthened surface layer of low carbon steel,dislocation cell structure is so unstalbe during fatigue that its surface residual stress relaxationcannot be retarded.Therefore,the bending fatigue strength of the low carbon steel can not beimprored by shot peening.
