Influence of Residual Stresses on the Crack Initiation and Short Crack Propagation in a Martensitic Spring Steel

The crack initiation and short crack propagation in a martensitic spring steel were investigated by means of in-situ fatigue testing. Shot peened samples as well as untreated samples were exposed to uniaxial alternating stress to analyze the impact of compressive residual stresses. The early fatigue...
