Effects of Non-Metallic Inclusions and Mean Stress on Axial and Torsion Very High Cycle Fatigue of SWOSC-V Spring Steel

Inclusion-initiated fracture in high-strength spring steel is studied for axial and torsion very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) loading at load ratios of <i>R</i> = −1, 0.1 and 0.35. Ultrasonic <i>S-N</i> tests are performed with SWOSC-V steel featuring intentionally increased num...
