Description

Results of experimental studies of cyclic crack resistance of austenitic steela and nickel alloys in annealed and hot-deformed states at different temperatures and doses of radiation damage are analyzed and generalized. High-temperature aging of annealed steels promotes a decrease of the crack growth rate while a preliminary cold deformation does not play a noticeable role in preserving cyclic crack resistance after radiation under loading in the region of the lowered temperatures and is of negative effect at temperatures above 600 deg C. A decrease of the load frequency or the presence of holdings in a cycle under stress intensity coeffient equal to Kmax essentially decreases fatigue crack growth resistance while the radiation damage enhances this effect
