The nanocrystalline Ni W alloy fabricated by an electrodeposition method has a high strength and high bending ductility. However, its fatigue properties are not known yet. Therefore, fatigue tests were carried out to clarify the fatigue properties. Nanocrystalline Ni W alloy specimens containing 16.9 at W with about 20 mm in thickness, 200 mm in parallel part length, and 100 mm in width were produced by both UV photolithography and electrodeposition methods. The average grain size was about 6 nm in diameter and the tensile strength was about 2.8 GPa. The fatigue test was conducted at a stress ratio of 0.1 and a frequency of 10 Hz. The fatigue limit and fatigue ratio showed 2.1 GPa and 0.74, respectively. Macroscopic fractured morphology showed no necking and perpendicular fracture for the loading axis. However, microscopic fracture surface showed flat and featureless morphology at near the crack initiation region and it showed striations from the region where the striation spacing became more than about 10 nm. The final unstable fracture surface showed dimples with a diameter of 100~200 nm.
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.
