Abstract:
Shot-peening treatment (ISP: 8A & C:200%) was applied to improve the R: -1 axial fatigue
strength of DIN 34CrNiMo6 (Q+T) steel specimens, due to the introduction of a compressive
residual stress field in the near-surface area. However, this residual stress field tends to
reduce or relax when an external stress, quasi-static or cyclic, is applied. Quasi-static tests
were conducted to evaluate the role of tensile or compressive applied stress. Results showed
that tensile applied stress induced lower relaxation and compressive applied stress required
lower magnitude to initiate the stress relaxation. Cyclic tests, with R: -1, were developed to
evaluate the influence of the cyclic applied stress magnitude on the surface stress relaxation.
In addition, cyclic tests with load ratio R ≠ -1 (-0.5 < R < -0.25), including tensile mean stress,
were performed to assess the influence of the tensile mean stresses on the residual stress
relaxation. Results showed that, in the range of R studied, higher tensile mean stresses reduce
the amplitude of residual stress relaxation.
