DAILY POINTS TO RECALL (DAY 9)
16. All fatigue failure take place due to initiation of surface crack and
propagation of crack due to stress fluctuation. There are 3-types
of fatigue failures.
If surface cracks are due to stress concentration, weld undercuts,
notches etc and stress fluctuation due to mechanical reasons
(vibrations, water hammer etc.) then it is Mechanical Fatigue. If
stress fluctuation is due to temperature swing, it is Thermal
Fatigue. If initial surface cracks are due to corrosion, pitting etc.,
it is Corrosion Fatigue.
21. Stress assisted HIC (SAHIC) takes place due to propogation of HIC
cracks under effect of applied stress. Crack propagates
perpendicular to stress direction.
