The invention discloses a method for characterizing a steel
fatigue crack propagation behavior for casing drilling. The method comprises the steps of: firstly, sampling casing drilling steel, preparing a sample and cleaning; secondly, carrying out low-
frequency noise testing on the sample before fatigue; thirdly, carrying out
fatigue testing on the sample; fourthly, carrying out low-
frequency noise testing on the sample after fatigue; and fifthly, analyzing, extracting and
processing low-
frequency noise data before and after the
fatigue testing according to low-frequency l / f
noise information before and after the fatigue, and characterizing a
fatigue crack propagation behavior of the sample. Through two times of low-frequency l / f
noise testing before and after the fatigue propagation, the influence of
background noise of the sample is eliminated, more complex formula derivation and mathematical calculation in common characterizing methods are avoided, no strict requirements are required for the shape of the sample, the
fatigue testing quantity is favorably reduced, the testing cost is lowered, and the
fatigue crack propagation behaviors of various samples can be conveniently subjected to sampling and fatigue service life
estimation; and the method has the characteristics of convenience in use, low cost and convenience in popularization.
