Abstract
Today in many cases ultrasonic testing machines with a frequency of f ≈ 20 kHz are used for investigations of the fatigue behaviour up to the very high cycle regime (VHCF-regime). A question that arises is if the results of these high frequency fatigue tests are comparable to conventional fatigue tests. This paper compares the fatigue behaviour of a quenched and tempered steel 50CrMo4 in two different tempered conditions investigated at low frequencies (f ≤ 400 Hz) on a servohydraulic testing machine and at a high frequency (f ≈ 20 kHz) on an ultrasonic fatigue testing machine. Effects which can occur because of the different testing techniques and testing frequencies are investigated. A concept is derived to describe the frequency effect caused by the strain rate. The estimations are compared with results of the fatigue tests.
