A model for predicting crack initiation in forged M3:2 tool steel under high cycle fatigue
Source abstract
Abstract
AISI type M3 class 2 tool steel (or in German designation DIN: HS6-5-3 tool steel) is most commonly used in tooling industry, and also in some engine parts. Those components are usually subjected to cyclic stresses and mostly fail by fatigue. Fatigue crack initiation in this material occupies large fraction of total lifetime and strongly depends on microstructural features of primary and eutectic carbides, such as shape, shape ratio, volume fraction, the distribution of carbides as well as load ratio. To model fatigue initiation mechanisms of forged M3:2 tool steel, McDowell’s model was modified and developed for different length-scales. For fatigue crack formation and short crack growth, a hierarchical approach was used and the life time of these stages were estimated based on the local cyclic plasticity. Through this relation the effect of microstructural features on both fatigue crack formation and short crack growth in the material were identified. The results of the proposed model have explicitly reflected the influence of microstructural features on both fatigue crack formation and propagation in forged M3:2 tool steel. Moreover, the model can be used for improving the fatigue resistance of a tool steel component.
