Abstract:Two structural steels with different chemical compositions and similar mechanical properties were selected for the research, aiming to be alternatives for the manufacture of crankshaft (DIN 34CrNiMo6 steel) of Diesel and natural gas engines of thermoelectric plants. CT-type test specimens were machined in SAE 4140 and 4340 steels and subjected to fatigue crack propagation tests, in order to obtain the respective curves of d /dN versus ΔK. After the tests, the fatigue cracks were indicated on the specimens' sur… Show more
