Abstract—In this paper, we compare the results of measurements of residual stresses and study the
influence of residual stresses on the fatigue strength of samples made of titanium and nickel alloys after
various types of treatment: turning with the use of various lubricatingcooling tools, grinding, and sur
face plastic strain operation.

It is known that the compressive residual stresses always contribute to the growth of the fatigue limit
[1], so many scientists are engaged in studying the issues of establishing correlations of methods and
regimes of processing of components with their physical and mechanical characteristics and the level of
residual stresses σres [2, 3]. Attempts are made to control the manufacturing process of parts with the help
of feedback between quality parameters of the surface layer (roughness, cold working, and residual
stresses) and processing regimes [4].
This article describes the influence of residual stresses on the fatigue strength of the samples of titanium
and nickel alloys used in the production of gas turbine engines (GTE) and manufactured by different tech
nologies. As a criterion of association, we selected an energy characteristic of the surface layer—the area
under the diagram of compressive residual stresses. We studied the influence of tensile residual stresses at
the surface with an occurrence depth b of no more than 10 μm (typical of many types of machining: turn
ing, grinding, heavy strengthening, etc.) on the relationship of the fatigue strength with residual stresses.

the reliability of blade fet, as well as the reliability of blade pens, provides the overall durability. Let us con
sider the optimization of operating parameters of creep feed grinding by the fatigue strength criterion, as
well as its relationship to residual stresses [6].
The table shows the experimental design for regimes of creep feed grinding of the samples in which the
study of residual stresses and fatigue strength was carried out.
Residual stresses. The analysis of axial residual stresses showed that they are compressing. Their value
on the surface varies from –20 to –600 MPa. All the diagrams have a subsurface maximum of compressive
stresses within –300 to –900 MPa at a depth of 10 μm and approach zero at a depth of 50–70 μm.
The analysis of tangential residual stresses showed that the surfaces in all the experiments have tangen
tial tensile stresses of 150–800 MPa, which at shallow depths (up to 10 μm) are transformed into compres
sive. The compressive tangential stresses have a subsurface maximum –200 to –700 MPa at a depth of 10–
15 μm and approach zero at 30–50 μm.
Fatigue strength tests. The fatigue strength tests of the samples subjected to symmetrical alternating
bending were carried out with the electric vibrator VDS1500M at the pitch frequency at a temperature of
700°С. The results of the tests were compared in terms of the largest amplitude (strain) of their end sec
tions measured by the optical cathetometer KM8.
The test base consisted of N = 2 × 107 cycles. Upon passing the test base without breaking, the sample
was reloaded to the next level of stresses +Δ(2а) and, thus, brought to destruction.
The test results were estimated by the level of destruction and the number of cycles before destruction
at this level. The fatigue test results are shown in Table 1 (2a is the value of strain amplitude at the end sec
tions of the samples). The analysis of the results showed that the difference in the endurance limits
between experiments 1–4 is 10%: minimum limits of endurance occur in experiments 1 and 4, and they
are the same, while the maximum value was recorded in experiment 3. The comparison of the endurance
limits between experiments 5–8 shows that the minimum value of the endurance limit was obtained for
experiment 5, its value was slightly higher (~ by 6% percent) in experiment 8, and the maximum values of
experiment 5 were, respectively, 1.31 and 1.37 times. The comparison of all the investigated variants shows
that changes in the cutting conditions largely affect the samples treated with a 4 mm depth of cutting
(experiments 5–8).
FINDINGS
Tensile residual stresses, which emerge at the surface even with a small occurrence depth (less than
10 μm), reduce the fatigue strength of the samples and the degree of their relationship with the fatigue
strength of products.
For different types of treatment of titanium and nickel construction materials, we identified and proved
the correlation of the surface compressive residual stresses with the fatigue limit: the growth of the com
pressive stress diagram area causes the growth of the fatigue strength limit.
