Cyclic cracking of annealed Armco-iron specimens in the three-dot bending scheme has been obtained and TEM investigations of areas under the fatigue fracture surface have been carried out. The formation of different dislocation structures in Armco-iron depending on a distance to the cycle crack surface is studied. The dislocation density dependence on the distance to the fatigue fracture surface is determined. The formation of the fragmented structure in the immediate vicinity of the fatigue crack surface is revealed.
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.
