Thermal fatigue of cast irons for automotive application

Micromechanisms of fracture in nodular cast iron: From experimental findings towards modeling strategies – A review

“…This topic was investigated by Seifert et al [105] and Mellouli et al [78]. They found that the tension-compression asymmetry appears only at large strains.…”

Numerical simulation of thermal fatigue behavior in a cracked disc of AISI H-11 tool steel

“…Some of the setups include a disc heated by induction on the periphery [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], triangular blade heated by induction [13], electrical heating of tube followed by water splashing to induce thermal shock [14][15][16][17][18], hot dipping of cylinders in molten aluminum [19,20], laser heating [21,22], focused halogen lamps heating [23,24], convection/combustion heating [25,26], furnace heating with water quenching [27,28] and actual dies [29,30]. Out of these experimental setups most researchers have worked on the heated disc problem.…”

Thermal Fatigue Analyses of Riveted Structures

“…A model to predict the crack network propagation under thermal loads was constructed. Thermal fatigue analyses of cast irons used in the automotive industry have been performed by Mellouli et al [19]. Influences of temperature, microstructure and chemical compositions of used material types on starting of crack and propagation of crack with the effects of thermal cycles were studied.…”
