Strain rate change tests were performed under uniaxial tension-compress cycle loading during low cycle fatigue of AZ91D magnesium alloy using plastic strain as the control variable. Results show that the cyclic softening phenomenon is appeared in testing materials when cycle strain amplitude is less than 0.4%. With the increase of the cyclic strain amplitude, material displays obviously cyclic hardening; at the same time, the additional strengthening degree of materials is increased. Further study found that the slope of the curve is unchanged when the strain amplitude is more than 1.0%. The changes of strain rate has a little impact on the low cycle fatigue life of AZ91D magnesium alloy, conversely, the changes of strain amplitude has a great influence on low cycle fatigue life on the material. With the improvement of strain amplitude, fatigue life is reduced obviously. In addition, the Coffin-Manson formula fitting equation has good consistency with the experimental data, which is used in low cycle fatigue prediction life.

Low cycle fatigue (LCF) and Creep-fatigue interaction (CFI) behavior of 316LN austenitic stainless steel alloyed with 0.07, 0.11, 0.14, .22 wt.% nitrogen is briefly discussed in this paper. The strain-life fatigue behavior of these steels is found to be dictated by not only cyclic plasticity but also by dynamic strain aging (DSA) and secondary cyclic hardening (SCH). The influence of the above phenomenon on cyclic stress response and fatigue life is evaluated in the present study. The above mentioned steels exhibited both single-and dual-slope strain-life fatigue behavior depending on the test temperatures. Concomitant dislocation substructural evolution has revealed transition in substructures from planar to cell structures justifying the change in slope. The beneficial effect of nitrogen on LCF life is observed to be maximum for 316LN with nitrogen in the range 0.11 - 0.14 wt.%, for the tests conducted over a range of temperatures (773-873 K) and at ±0.4 and 0.6 % strain amplitudes at a strain rate of 3*10-3 s-1. A decrease in the applied strain rate from 3*10-3 s-1 to 3*10-5 s-1 or increase in the test temperature from 773 to 873 K led to a peak in the LCF life at a nitrogen content of 0.07 wt.%. Similar results are obtained in CFI tests conducted with tensile hold periods of 13 and 30 minutes. Fractography studies of low strain rate and hold time tested specimens revealed extensive intergranular cracking.

Safe and reliable management of light water reactors demand a full understanding on their component materials properties throughout their service lives. In present work the effects of strain rate on low cycle fatigue behavior of ASTM A533B pressure vessel steels after long-term thermal aging at 673 K in air have been investigated in simulated BWR environments. It was found that the aging treatment led to a certain decrease in fatigue life. Environmental effect on the fatigue life of aged materials closely depended on strain rate. More strongly environmental effect appeared at low strain rate. The aging treatment enhanced the stain-rate dependence of the fatigue resistance of A533B steels. Comparison between ASME design fatigue curves and present results as well as some literatures’ data suggested that safety margins of the standard design curves tended to decrease with decrease in strain rate. Based on the above results, possible corrosion fatigue mechanisms of pressure vessel steels in high temperature water were discussed by taking into account the effects of inclusions, hydrogen embrittlement, dynamic strain aging and aging-induced material degradation as well as their combined actions.
