Fatigue crack initiation — the role of point defects
Polák, Jaroslav ; Man, Jiří
The role of point defects in the formation of surface relief and in the initiation of a fatigue crack in crystalline materials is analyzed. The dislocation interactions in the bands of intensive cyclic slip are specified and relations describing the formation and annihilation of interstitial and vacancy type defects are derived. The formation, annihilation and migration of point defects is proposed to be responsible for the mass redistribution within PSB and between PSB and the matrix boundary. The redistribution of the matter results in local tensile and compressive stresses that are relaxed by continuous dislocation movement within PSB and lead to the formation of characteristic surface relief in the form of extrusions and intrusions.

Initial stages of fatigue failure of polycrystalline materials
Man, Jiří ; Petrenec, Martin ; Obrtlík, Karel ; Polák, Jaroslav
Geometry of persistent slip markings (PSMs) formed during cyclic loading of polycrystalline stainless steels and superalloy was studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM-FEG). Internal dislocation structure was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Persistent slip bands with dislocation structure corresponding to the cyclic strain localization were identified and correlated with PSMs observed on the specimen surface.

Quantitative assessment of the surface relief in fatigue using AFM
Man, Jiří ; Obrtlík, Karel ; Polák, Jaroslav
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was applied to study the early stages of fatigue damage in polycrystalline copper and stainless 316L steel. The analysis of the image formation using an AFM tip reveals the lateral distortion of the extrusions and intrusions in case of high extrusions and deep intrusions. The true extrusion height can be obtained in direct observation and the depth of intrusions using replica technique. The evolution of the shape and the height of extrusions allowed to judge the activity of the persistent slip bands (PSBs) during fatigue life.
