Abstract
In the present investigation a full-surface view in situ thermography method is adapted to an ultrasonic fatigue testing system. Full-surface view in situ thermography measurements were successfully performed in the high cycle fatigue and in the very high cycle fatigue regime on cast steel G42CrMo4in the quenched and tempered state. The method enables the monitoring of the entire cylindrical specimen circumference during fatigue testing by infrared temperature field measurements with one thermocamera and two mirrors. Moreover, by correlating fractography and thermography the precise determination of the location of the crack initiation site and the time of final crack growth is possible. The technique is applied to study crack initiation at non-metallic inclusions in the investigated cast steel specimens. Moreover, the effect of a novel carbon-bonded metal melt filter coated with a functionalized spinel (MgAl2O4) coating is evaluated by ultrasonic fatigue testing in combination with the full-surface view in situ thermography technique and subsequent scanning electron microscopy.
