被引用回数：16 パーセンタイル：75.99(Multidisciplinary Sciences)A time-of-flight Bragg-edge neutron transmission imaging was used to investigate the microstructure and strain distributions in a gear hardened by a newly developed two-step induction-heating method: precursor (Sample 1) and final product (Sample 2). The edge- position and edge-broadening were determined and mapped with high spatial resolution, which enabled us to confirm the two-dimensional distributions of the microstructure and residual strain. A deep hardened layer was made for Sample 1 in which martensite was formed on the entire teeth and the outer peripheral portion of the gear body. Sample 2 was subjected to double induction-hardening, where a tempered martensite was formed as the thermal refined microstructure between a fine-grained martensite at the tooth surface and a ferrite-pearlite microstructure at the core. The relationship between edge-broadening and the Vickers hardness described by a linear equation was employed to derive the elastic residual strain. The residual strain map for Sample 2 revealed that a steep compressive strain was introduced into the fine-grained martensite at the tooth surface by the super rapid induction- heating and quenching process. The reversal of tension was speculated to occur below 2 mm from the tooth tip, and the strain was almost zero in the core region.

Fatigue damage is known as one of the major concerns in maintaining the integrity of large-scale engineering components. The nonlinear strain/stress distribution around a fatigue crack tip has a great impact to understand the fatigue and crack growth behavior of engineering component. We consider that it is possible to reveal local variations in strain and microstructure around a fatigue crack tip throughout the thickness of the material by using the non-destructive Bragg-edge imaging and diffraction probes. To investigate the influence of austenitic and ferritic phases on the changes in the strain and microstructure of steels during cyclic fatigue, we selected a typical single austenite stainless steel SUS304 and a duplex stainless steel SUS329J4L. The fatigue tests on the compact-tension samples were conducted with a servo-hydraulic fatigue testing machine. The pulsed Bragg-edge imaging experiment on the fatigued samples was performed at BL22 RADEN in MLF/J-PARC. The time-of-flight neutron diffraction strain mapping was performed at BL19 TAKUMI in MLF/J- PARC. Two-dimensional maps of inhomogeneous residual strain and microstructure for the samples, which had been under different fatigue loading conditions, were determined by Bragg-edge spectral analysis. The obtained Bragg-edge imaging results were quantitatively compared with those determined by diffraction. Surface strains measured by digital image correlation during the fatigue tests will also be presented.
