Effect of service conditions upon the processes of metal mould fatigue fracture
The paper presents some results of investigations into the crack nucleation and development due to thermal-mechanical fatigue of metallic moulds. A practical example have been taken to discuss a concept of the fatigue life prediction with an application of material simulation tests and modelling approach to a subject.
