Abstract

Abstract In situ SEM observation of fatigue crack growth behavior of low carbon steel under mechanically large grain condition, and EBSD analysis were carried out to investigate mechanisms of crack deflection and branching and effects of crystal orientation on them. It is found that the crack propagates along the activated slip bands in the present material and the crack deflection can be formed when a new activated slip band is created in a different direction from the growing crack. The crack branching can be formed by the following process: (1) the slip band along the crack cannot be activated further due to the restraint by such as grain boundary or strain hardening, (2) the crack cannot propagate further in the same direction, and (3) the secondary slip plane is activated to form a new slip band behind the crack tip. Not the stress intensity factors Kdef for deflected crack and ΔKeff for crack closure but rather the ΔKeff,tip is the intrinsic fracture mechanics parameter for controlling fatigue crack growth behavior of the material with crack deflection and branching.
