Abstract

Axial loading test was performed to investigate the influence of case-carburizing and micro-defect on competing failure behaviors of Ni-Cr-W Steel under gigacycle fatigue. The interior failures induced from inclusion and microstructural inhomogeneity become the predominant failure mode in the life regime beyond 105 cycles. The case-carburizing has no effect on the fatigue strength with interior failure. Compared with the lower limit values of experimental S-N data, the predicted results by using GP distribution is relatively suitable. From the viewpoint of reliability, the modeling method of interior S-N curve with the maximum defect size at a given probability is satisfactory.
