Fatigue life prediction for 316 stainless steel. Case of superimposed and repeated two-step stress

  • 1. Inst. of Nuclear Safety System, Inc., Mihama, Fukui (Japan)

Description

In this study, applicability of linear-cumulative damage rule was investigated for variable loading of high-cycle fatigue for Type 316 stainless steel. Push-pull fatigue tests were conducted in ambient air and room temperature by controlling stress amplitude. Two types variable loading were tested. Repeated two-step tests were conducted in order to assess the effect of loading history by crack on fatigue life. And superimposed tests were also conducted to investigate applicability for linear-cumulative damage rule. As a result, effect of loading history by crack was not confirmed in repeated two-step test. However, fatigue life for superimposed wave decreased by change of crack opening range. It was concluded that considering safety factor, a linear-cumulative damage rule almost applicable to thermal fatigue. (author)
