Compared with ordinary structural steel, Alloy Structural Steel shows significant advantages in fatigue strength.1. The role of alloying elementsAlloy Structural Steel improves the microstructure and properties of steel by adding appropriate amounts of alloying elements (such as chromium, molybdenum, manganese, etc.). These alloying elements can refine the grains of steel, improve the strength and toughness of steel, and thus enhance the fatigue resistance of steel. In contrast, ordinary structural steel has a low content of alloying elements, and its microstructure and properties may not be as superior as Alloy Structural Steel.2. Improvement of mechanical propertiesDue to alloying, the mechanical properties of Alloy Structural Steel have been significantly improved. Specifically, it has high strength, toughness and good comprehensive mechanical properties. These performance improvements enable Alloy Structural Steel to better resist fatigue damage when subjected to alternating stress. Although ordinary structural steel also has certain mechanical properties, it may not be comparable to Alloy Structural Steel in terms of fatigue strength.3. Improvement of fatigue limit stressFatigue strength is the number of cyclic loads that a material can withstand under alternating stress, that is, the number of stress cycles that a material can withstand before fatigue fracture occurs under stress cycles. Alloy Structural Steel has a higher fatigue limit stress, so it can withstand more stress cycles without fatigue fracture during long-term use. In contrast, the fatigue limit stress of ordinary structural steel may be lower, and its fatigue resistance is relatively weak.4. Optimization of microstructureAfter appropriate metal heat treatment, the microstructure of Alloy Structural Steel can be optimized to form uniform troostite, bainite or extremely fine pearlite. These structures are conducive to improving the tensile strength, yield strength ratio and fatigue strength of steel. The microstructure of ordinary structural steel may be relatively coarse or uneven, and its performance may be affected to a certain extent.In summary, Alloy Structural Steel has significant advantages in fatigue strength compared with ordinary structural steel. These advantages are mainly reflected in the role of alloy elements, the improvement of mechanical properties, the improvement of fatigue limit stress and the optimization of microstructure. These characteristics make Alloy Structural Steel have a wider application prospect in occasions that need to withstand alternating stress.
