Abstract

The different crack initiation modes from different internal defects of a high carbon chromium bearing steel are investigated in the present paper. The relative granular bright facet (GBF) size is approximately proportional to . The critical applied stress intensity factor range at the periphery of inclusion ΔKinc,th, above which the GBF will no longer be formed, was obtained. For the present SUJ2 steel, ΔKinc,th = 8 MPa m1/2. The crack growth process in GBF is further investigated by the low–high two-step variable amplitude loading tests. The crack growth process in GBF can be described by . The exponent m0 is a material constant independent of the applied stress amplitude and the inclusion size and increases with increasing of HV.
