Anotace
The project was focused on understanding of cycle asymmetry effect on early fatigue damage stages in structural materials (316L austenitic stainless steel, nickel base superalloy). Attention was paid to the study of mean stress effect on surface relief accompanying fatigue crack initiation. Surface relief was studied using high-resolution microscopy techniques – SEM and AFM. The experimental characteristics concerning to the slip activity in individual grains, to the surface relief evolution in dependence on applied loading conditions (plastic strain amplitude, mean stress value) and on the number of cycles were determined. Experimental results obtained were analysed and quantified in terms of the static and cyclic contributions.
