Fatigue strength: CX steel (Vxx/STM)
This page presents the S-N curves and fatigue limit of CX steel samples that underwent shot-peening, heat treatment and machining that removed allowance of 0.5mm (in that order),), obtained using the bending tests of rotating bars with AM layers normal to the axis of rotation.
Production and prost-processing conditions
| Build orientation of longitudinal axis | vertical |
|---|---|
| Position with respect to inert gas flow | undefined |
| Post-processing | shot-peening → heat treatment → machining allowance 0.5mm |
Experimental S-N curve
| Experimental method | ISO1143, rotating bending test R=-1 |  |
|---|---|---|
| Run-out criterion | 107 cycles | |
| AM layers | normal to axis of rotation |
Wöhler curve
| Fatigue limit (MPa) | 428 |
|---|---|
| Number of cycles to failure N | N=1,04⋅10<html>21</html>⋅S<html>-5,56</html> |
| Stress amplitude S (MPa) | S=6064⋅N<html>-0,18</html> |
