TY - JOUR A1 - Zerbst, Uwe A1 - Klinger, Christian T1 - Material defects as cause for the fatigue failure of metallic components N2 - The paper provides an overview on material defects which may serve as fatigue crack initiation sites and can cause final fatigue failure of a component. These comprise nonmetallic inclusions in Steel and aluminum alloys, cavities such as pores, micro-shrinkages and un-welded regions in cast, sinter and additively manufactured alloys, graphite nodules, shrinkages and other items in modular cast iron, regions of defective microstructure, microcracks and secondary notches such as undercuts and surface roughness. Besides their origin, the effect and mechanisms on fatigue crack initiation and propagation are discussed. The considerations are proceeded and accompanied by a Brief discussion of some Basic aspects such as the stages of crack propagation along their length scale, the overcoming of crack arrest and the question when a secondary notch can be treated as a crack.

This, of course, cannot be exhaustive but is limited to butt and fillet welds with crack initiation at weld toes. In the present first pari, the authors briefly focus on the susceptibility of welds to cracks and other defects. Following this, they discuss in more detail the consequences of material inhomogeneity across the weld for fracture mechanics. Inhomogeneity causes scatter in fracture toughness and strength mis-match effects which both have to be considered in fracture toughness testing, crack driving force determination and fracture assessment of welded components. Part 2 of the paper series will add a discussion of welding residual stresses and questions of applying fracture mechanics to residual as well as total lifetime estimation of welds under cyclic loading.

Im Fokus stehen Probleme bei der Ermittlung repräsentativer Materialdaten, der Einfluss von Materialdefekten und Eigenspannungen. Ausgehend von derzeitigem Stand auf dem Gebiet werden Möglichkeiten der Schadenstoleranten Bauteileauslegung von AM diskutiert. N2 - The presentation provides a discussion and damage tolerant assessment of metallic AM components. In the focus are problems of the determination of representative material data, the effect of material defects and residual stresses. Starting with the actual state-of-the-art in the field, options and possibilities of a damage tolerant design for AM are discussed.

T1 - The IBESS approach for the determination of the fatigue life and strength of weldments by fracture mechanics analysis N2 - This book provides a comprehensive and thorough guide to those readers who are lost in the often-confusing context of weld fatigue. It presents straightforward information on the fracture mechanics and material background of weld fatigue, starting with fatigue crack initiation and short cracks, before moving on to long cracks, crack closure, crack growth and threshold, residual stress, stress concentration, the stress intensity factor, J-integral, multiple cracks, weld geometries and defects, microstructural parameters including HAZ, and cyclic stress-strain behavior. The book treats all of these essential and mutually interacting parameters using a unique form of analysis.
