Abstract

The effect of aging on fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) of Cu bearing HSLA-100 steel has been studied. The steel was solution treated, water quenched and aged at various temperatures in the range of 350-700°C. The fatigue crack growth resistance of the steel decreased for the initial stages of aging from 350-500°C. Further aging up to 650°C resulted in an improvement in the crack growth resistance. Beyond 650°C, once again an inferior crack growth resistance was observed. This nature of variation of FCGR behaviour was similar to the trend portrayed by the strength properties with aging treatment. The results are related to the changes in the microstructural constituents owing to the aging treatment.
