Structure-property relations for monotonic and fatigue loading conditions for a powder metal steel

Allison, Paul Galon 08 August 2009 (has links)
Developing a multi-scale math-based model for powder metallurgy (PM) component design and performance prediction requires experimental calibration and validation. Monotonic tension, compression and torsion tests were performed at various porosity and temperatures to obtain the set of plasticity and damage constants required for model calibration. Uniaxial fatigue experiments were performed to determine the constants required for capturing the low cycle and high cycle fatigue characteristics of a PM steel. Tension tests on two different Bridgman notched specimens were undertaken to study the damage-triaxiality dependence for model validation. Validation of the model is further being performed by monotonic component testing using PM bearing caps. Fracture surface analysis was performed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to quantify the void nucleation and void sizes of the different specimens. The developed model will be used for optimizing component performance and design for PM parts.
