For this purpose, the tensile and rotary bending fatigue (RBF) tests were carried out at different temperatures (25 \u00b0C, 150 \u00b0C, 350 \u00b0C, and 450 \u00b0C). The tensile strength was obtained, and relationships between the applied bending stress levels and the number of fatigue fracture cycles were fitted to the stress-life (S-N) curves, and the related equations were determined. The fractured surfaces were observed and analyzed by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the RBF fatigue performance of C17200 alloy specimens is decreased with the increase in test temperature. When the temperature is below 350 \u00b0C, the performance degradation amplitudes of mechanical properties and RBF fatigue resistance are at a low level. However, compared to the RBF fatigue strength of 1 \u00d7 107 cycles at 25 \u00b0C, it is decreased by 38.4% when the temperature reaches 450 \u00b0C. It is found that the fatigue failure type of C17200 alloy belongs to surface defect initiation. Below 350 \u00b0C, the surface roughness of the fatigue fracture is higher, which is similar to the brittle fracture, so the boundary of the fracture regions is not obvious. At 450 \u00b0C, due to the further increase in temperature, oxidation occurs on the fracture surface, and the boundary of typical fatigue zone is obvious.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma16020815","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,16]],"date-time":"2023-01-16T04:57:19Z","timestamp":1673845039000},"page":"815","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Rotating Bending Fatigue Behaviors of C17200 Beryllium Copper Alloy at High Temperatures"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Fuqiang","family":"Lai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kun","family":"Mao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Changsheng","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anqiong","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Junxiang","family":"Tu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Youxi","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350116, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"384","article-title":"Research progress on properties and heat treatment of beryllium bronze","volume":"41","author":"Fang","year":"2020","journal-title":"Tech.
