Abstract

Internal defects are a major concern in the casting process because they have a significant influence on the strength and fatigue life of casting products. In general, they cause stress concentration and can be a starting point of cracks. Therefore, it is important to understand the effects of internal defects on mechanical properties such as fatigue life. In this study, fatigue experiments on tensile specimens with internal defects were performed. The internal defects in the casting product were scanned by an industrial CT scanner, and its shape was simplified by ellipsoidal primitives for the structural and fatigue analysis. The analysis results were compared with experimental results for casting products with internal defects. It was demonstrated that it is possible to consider internal defects of casting products in stress and fatigue analysis. The proposed method provides a tool for the prediction of the fatigue life of casting products and the investigation of the effects of internal defects on mechanical performance.

내부결함은 주조제품의 강도 및 피로 수명에 있어 상당한 영향을 미치기 때문에 주조공정에서 주요 관심사 이다. 일반적으로 내부결함은 응력집중을 발생시키며 균열의 시작점이 되므로 피로 수명과 같은 기계적 거동에 있어 수축공과 같은 결함을 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 내부결함을 고려한 인장시편에 대해 피로시험을 수행하고 주조결함을 고려할 때의 특정하중피로노치 계수를 산정하였다. 실제 내부결함은 산업용 CT 장비를 통해서 확인하였으며 확인된 결함은 형상단순화법에 의해 타원체로 단순화 하고 응력해석과 피로해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 우리가 제안한 방법이 기계적 거동에 있어 내부결함의 영향을 조사하고 피로수명 등을 예측함에 있어 유용함을 확인할 수 있었다.
