Abstract
In this study, the corrosion mechanism and corrosion law of locked coil wire ropes are investigated using an acetic-acid accelerated salt-spray (AASS) corrosion test and Z-shaped steel wire. Subsequently, the fatigue-life of Z-shaped steel wire under different degrees of corrosion is obtained according to its performance in the fatigue test. The fatigue failure mechanism of a Z-shaped steel wire is studied by analyzing the fatigue fracture, and a fatigue-life prediction method is proposed based on a three-parameter Weibull distribution. Finally, a fatigue-life prediction method for locked coil wire ropes is proposed based on the corrosion law of locked coil wire ropes and fatigue performance of Z-shaped steel wires. The results indicate that the corrosion of locked coil wire ropes occurs only in the outer Z-shaped steel wire, the corrosion of the round steel wire can be ignored, and the existence of S-cracks in the fracture of the Z-shaped steel wire will accelerate fatigue failure. The results also verify that corrosion pits are the main source of fatigue in corroded Z-shaped steel wire, corrosion has a great impact on the fatigue life of steel wire. Under the conditions of 50 g/L NaCl solution concentration, 3.1–3.3 pH value, 95 % humidity and 35 ± 2°C temperature, salt spray accelerates corrosion for 3 months, and the fatigue life is reduced by about 40 %.
