Abstract

A number of manufacturing processes are able to plastically deform the work material and induce residual stresses in different ways, thus affecting the component surface integrity and, consequently, its ability to withstand cyclic loads. Besides the nature of the process, the parameters employed also have a significant influence on the fatigue strength. This work investigates the influence of the turning parameters and deep rolling on the surface roughness, fatigue life, and fatigue fracture of hardened AISI 4140 steel. Fatigue specimens were turned under various cutting speeds, feeds, and depths of cut and further subjected to deep rolling under a constant condition. The results indicated that deep rolling was able to reduce all the roughness amplitude parameters investigated. Regarding the fatigue life of the turned specimens, there was a combined influence of feed and depth of cut, i.e., for the lower feed (0.2 mm/rev), an increase in depth of cut from 0.5 to 1.0 mm promoted an increase in fatigue life; however, the opposite occurred for the higher feed value (0.3 mm/rev). This behavior was more pronounced at higher cutting speeds. Deep rolling increased the fatigue life of the specimens, but a higher number of cycles were applied before the fracture of the specimens turned using the higher feed value, thus suggesting that deep rolling is not be able to completely eliminate the influence of previous turning on the surface integrity.
