Drilled, cold expanded with ring indented method was employed for crack-tip on the both sides and front side of the specimens, thus build up the residual compressive stresses, strain hardening and plasticity induced closure, and lead toward crack growth retardation. The compact tension specimens of AISI 304 stainless steel were used drilled, cold expanded with ring indented in the fatigue test. The experimental methods were drilled (Φ=2mm ) and cold expanded (Φ=2.074mm) and both sides at 2mm and 1mm position of the crack-tip in the specimen, then apply 0kN, 6KN, and 9kN test loads, respectively. The experimental results showed that, for the same test position, the number of delay cycles result from cold expanded than that of drilled and the number of delay cycles are 220798. For the same position, the stronger test load is, the greater crack growth retardation effect is. And, This study proposed some useful information on utilizing cold expanded with ring indented method for AISI 304 Stainless Steel crack growth retardation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
