In this study, the effects of temperature and strain rate on low cycle fatigue life of Bi-Sn eutectic alloys have been studied. The fatigue life improves with the increasing of temperature and the decreasing of strain rate. This is a reverse phenomenon from characteristics found in general metals. As temperature increases and strain rate decreases, grin boundary sliding becomes the dominant deformation mechanism and the fatigue ductility coefficient increases, resulting in an improvement of fatigue life. To the extent of this study, dependence on temperature and strain rate can be expressed by Manson-Coffin’s law modified using Z-parameters.

Tensile and low cycle fatigue properties of Sn-5Sb (mass%) solder were investigated with miniature size tensile specimens. The effect of temperature and strain rate on tensile properties and the effect of temperature on low cycle fatigue properties were examined. Tensile strength increases with increasing strain rate regardless of temperature investigated. For elongation, the effect of temperature on it is negligible although it slightly increases with increasing strain rate. The low cycle fatigue life of Sn-5Sb obeys by the Manson-Coffin’s equation. The effect of temperature on the fatigue life is negligible in the temperature range from 25 oC to 150 oC. In the low cycle fatigue test with a high total strain range of 4%, cracking at phase boundary mainly occurs regardless of temperature investigated. In the case of a low total strain range of 0.4%, ductile fracture mainly occurs, and cracking at phase boundary with generation of grooves also occurs at high temperature.

In this study, the influence of microstructure on the cyclic behaviour and lifetime of Cu and Au wires with diameters of 25μm in the low and high cycle fatigue regimes was investigated. Low cycle fatigue (LCF) tests were conducted with a load ratio of 0.1 and a strain rate of ~2e-4. An ultrasonic resonance fatigue testing system working at 20 kHz was used to obtain lifetime curves under symmetrical loading conditions up to very high cycle regime (VHCF). In order to obtain a total fatigue life model covering the low to high cycle regime of the thin wires by considering the effects of mean stress, a four parameter lifetime model is proposed. The effect of testing frequency on high cycle fatigue data of Cu is discussed based on analysis of strain rate dependency of the tensile properties with the help of the material model proposed by Johnson and Cook.

Temperature and strain rate dependences of low-cycle fatigue life can be represented by a modified Larson-Miller parameter. The parameter P is written by P=T(logN25−Alog ε˙ + B), where T is temperature, N25 is fatigue life, ε˙ is strain rate, and A and B are constants. In the analysis, each data of several kinds of engineering materials from ferritic steels to austenitic stainless steels are used. These are the authors original data published in the documents of NRIM Fatigue Data Sheets. The result of 304 stainless steel has been compared with statistical analysis result by Diercks adopted in a design code. The fatigue life curves represented by the proposed parameter analysis fitted well test data in high-cycle region as well as ones in low-cycle region.

A tailored-for-purpose environmental fatigue testing facility was previously developed to perform direct strain-controlled tests on stainless steel in simulated PWR water. Strain in specimen mid-section is generated by the use of pneumatic bellows, and eddy current measurement is used as a feedback signal. The procedure conforms with the ASTM E 606 practice for low cycle fatigue, giving results which are directly compatible with the major NPP design codes. Past studies were compiled in the NUREG/CR-6909 report and environmental reduction factors Fen were proposed to account for fatigue life reduction in hot water as compared to a reference value in air. This database exclusively contained non-stabilized stainless steels, mainly tested under stroke control. The applicability of the stainless steel Fen factor for stabilized alloys was already challenged in past papers (PVP2013-97500, PVP2014-28465). The results presented in this paper follow the same overall trend of lower experimental values (4.12–11.46) compared to those expected according to the NUREG report (9.49–10.37). In this paper results of a dual strain rate test programme on niobium stabilized AISI 347 type stainless steel are presented and discussed in the context of the NUREG/CR-6909 Fen methodology. Special attention is paid to the effect of strain signal on fatigue life, which according to current prediction methods does not affect the value of Fen.
