Abstract

Fatigue tests were performed on a novel, extruded, stainless steel/NiAl composite having good impact and tensile properties. A high fatigue limit was observed to occur at approximately 67% of the σUTS. The fracture surface showed a distinct change in morphology between the fatigued and fast fracture areas and the formation and growth of microcracks was postulated as the initial fatigue mechanism. The microcrack development was monitored by intermittent measurement of the elastic modulus and associated hysteresis. Microstructural characterization by means of SEM, TEM and EDS revealed the existence of approximately 100nm diameter Al2O3 particles decorating the interface between the NiAl and the stainless steel tubes.
