Background
The fatigue crack propagation rate test is a test mode for researching the fatigue fracture characteristics of a material by measuring the length of a fatigue crack generated by a sample under the set alternating load in real time. When the fatigue crack growth rate test is performed, in order to ensure the accuracy of the calculation result, it is necessary to precisely measure the crack length during the fatigue crack growth. In the indirect measurement method, the compliance method and the potential method are based on the variation of other physical parameters caused by crack growth, and the average size of crack growth, the range delta K of crack intensity factors and the crack growth rate are obtained through indirect calculation, but the two operation procedures are relatively complex, so that the method is suitable for high-temperature environment tests, and meanwhile, too many variables are introduced during measurement and are sensitive to the crack length and during calculation, so that larger deviation is generated between a calculated value and a true value. In the direct measurement method, a high-definition microscope/camera is adopted to directly read an image scale by visual inspection to obtain the crack propagation size, the operation procedure is simple and convenient, a large number of applications are obtained in room temperature environment test, but the surface of the metal material is generally provided with surface processing textures or scratches, at the moment, the crack morphology is similar to the textures and scratches, the technical defects of difficult crack identification, time and labor waste are often caused, and sometimes even misjudgment is generated. Therefore, there is a need for a method of enhancing fatigue microcrack display contrast to avoid the effects of surface texture or scratches and meet the needs of laboratory accurate measurements.
In the aspect of fatigue crack tracking and monitoring, a part of patents have adopted related technical means to achieve the above-mentioned aim. Patent CN104181225 describes a fatigue crack tracking and monitoring device and monitoring method for steel bridge deck slab, the method sprays contrast enhancer and black water magnetic suspension on the monitored steel bridge deck slab, the magnetic powder flaw detection method is adopted to display the shape and position of the fatigue crack, patent 108760546 describes a fatigue crack propagation rate measuring method based on infrared thermal imaging technology, the method sprays black matt paint on a sample meeting the required geometric dimension and surface roughness, the purpose is to improve the emissivity of the sample surface, the method is suitable for the infrared thermal imaging method to record the temperature field evolution process of the fatigue crack tip area in real time and automatically identify the crack tip position, patent CN110295340 describes a crack monitoring sensor based on plasma spraying, the preparation and monitoring method thereof, the method adopts plasma spraying to integrate an insulating substrate layer, a damage sensor and a packaging protection layer on the surface of a target monitoring structure, the crack length of the detection structure is determined by measuring the potential difference of the two ends of the crack surface of the monitoring structure, and patent CN110926972 describes a micro fatigue surface detecting method and system, the method adopts binary silicon rubber to mutually contact the contact part and the crack contact part is determined by observing the contact part of the film. In summary, the above patent uses related technical means and a matched detection method to improve the crack display contrast, so as to accurately measure the crack size.

Step 3, fatigue test
Mounting a sample on a fatigue testing machine by adopting a clamp matched with the sample, adjusting a light source to a corresponding position, and adjusting the focal length of a lens of a high-definition camera until the crack tip outline is clearly observed;
and 4, performing fatigue crack growth rate test on the sample.
Further, the light absorbing coating is a strong light absorbing coating.
Further, the machined crack is located in the middle of the plate-like specimen.
Further, the lapping and polishing is oriented in a direction perpendicular to the crack propagation path.
Further, the thickness of the black light absorption coating is 10-20 mu m. When the crack is not expanded, the strong light absorption coating absorbs visible light or ultraviolet rays emitted by a strong light source, and the image shows a black background.
Further, the light absorbing coating is provided with a fluorescent agent, and the light source is ultraviolet light
When the crack propagates, the strong light absorption coating tears along with the crack, and visible light generates diffuse reflection at the crack and is captured by the high-definition camera, so that a bright line which is strongly contrasted with the background and is overlapped with the crack is formed.
Further, the light source is a strong light source.
Further, the light source is a direct or oblique light sample surface.
The method has the advantage that the method is used for effectively enhancing the fatigue microcrack display contrast of the metal material aiming at the fatigue crack propagation rate test. In the existing fatigue microcrack measuring method, most of the technical schemes of a high-definition microscope/camera are adopted, the cracks are found from the surface of the material by means of visual observation, and as the surface of the material is generally provided with surface processing textures or scratches, the technical defects of difficult crack judgment, time and labor waste and even misjudgment are caused due to the influence. The method adopts a method of spraying a thin and uniform black strong light absorption coating or a fluorescent agent coating and the black strong light absorption coating on the surface of a material, when a crack is expanded, the coating tears along with the crack, a bright line which is strongly contrasted with the background and overlapped with the crack position is generated through a strong light source, the crack position and the crack size are judged according to the bright line, and the measurement precision is improved to accurately obtain the crack expansion rate data.
