Abstract
Studied was the resistance of a multilayer material to fatigue fracture, in which wear-resistant layer was deposited with the PP-Np-25Kh5FMS flux-cored wire with a sublayer from a low-alloy material, deposited with the PP-Np-12KhlMF wire. The design of surfaced specimens and their test procedure simulated the operating conditions of steel mill rolls. The integrated procedure of evaluation of fatigue fracture resistance of multilayer surfaced specimens to included three stages: determination of cyclic fatigue life of specimens after fabrication surfacing; studying the cyclic crack resistance of different deposited layers; determination of fatigue life of specimens, having fatigue cracks in the deposited layer during previous testing, after their repair surfacing. It was found that the cyclic fatigue life of specimens from 40Kh carbon steel, deposited with the PP-Np-25Kh5FMS flux-cored wire with a sublayer of 12KhlMF low-alloy steel is in the range of 346–716 thou cycles at maximum stress level of 500 MPa. Features of fatigue fracture kinetics of the studied multilayer material were determined. It was established that the fatigue crack propagates in the deposited metal in an unstable manner (in the wear-resistant layer and in a low-alloy steel sublayer), constantly changing its rate and direction. It is shown that cutting out fatigue cracks and subsequent surfacing of their removal areas allows restoring the cyclic fatigue life of the specimen to the initial level, i.e. twice increasing the overall life. 16 Ref., 4 Tables, 7 Figures.
