Abstract
The fatigue response by applying cyclic loads on individual grains using monotonic and cyclic nanoindetation to analyze the effect on load or displacement control in an austenitic Fe-20Mn-3Al-09C alloy were analyzed. The material response to the cycles considering the load control and the displacement control to properties such as hardness, elastic's modulus, and contact stiffness, was studied by analyzing the load-unload curves (P-h). The material softening Analysis showed that these properties decrease with increasing cycles due to the activation of deformation mechanisms. The elasticity's Modulus and hardness values for monotonic loads in load control presented values close to those reported in the literature. On the other hand, in displacement control, the values were lower. In load and displacement control mode, the first two cycles presented no overlap between unloading and loading between cycles, due to large irreversible plastic deformation and low elastic recovery after unloading. In the subsequent cycles, overlaps between the hysteresis curves were predominant, due to the activation of the deformation mechanisms.
